SUPERBIKE SHOOTOUT SUPERBIKE SHOOTOUT SERIES FINAL ROUND/MAY 25, 2014 MILLER MOTORSPORTS PARK/TOOELE, UTAH P106 said "He T-boned me, not even T-boned me… I don't know what happened. He hit me and we both went wide." From Solis' side of the inci- dent, he put full blame on Fong, even to the point of feeling Fong intentionally took him out. "Yeah, a hundred percent," Solis said about Fong's respon- sibility for the incident. "I'm not a dirty rider I don't do that kind of stuff. If I have to make a pass that's a centimeter away I will, but I won't hit anybody. He really, re- ally shut the door hard on me. "Honestly I'm a racer and I know how to do types of stuff like that and I never do. Intentionally he just really shut the door. He saw I was there until we made contact. I had already passed him. I had half of my front wheel past him. And he just tried to be aggressive and close the door. But it was almost like he didn't want to close the door. It's almost like he just wanted to hit me. And that's why I fell." Solis tired to pick the bike up and rejoin the race, but the han- dlebar was ripped off and he had to retire. Add to that he hit the back of his head hard and was feeling a bit dizzy. But other than that Solis felt fine. The ADR Motorsports team celebrates David Anthony's second- place finish in Pro Superbike.
