SUPERSPORT MOTOAMERICA AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3/MAY 16-17, 2015 VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY/ALTON, VIRGINIA P118 Fong was also in that battle for most of the race, eventually finishing fifth. A MAN WITH A PLAN Beach came back Sunday clear- ly determined to make amends for what he saw as a lost op- portunity in race one. He wasn't going to let that happen again in race two on Sunday as he man- aged to take the lead early and then stretch it—winning by 2.7 seconds over his teammate Ger- loff, who was some five seconds ahead of Saturday's race winner Josh Herrin. Herrin barely beat M4 Suzuki's David Anthony after a heated last-lap battle. "I just wanted to put the race in my own hands and just go for it," Beach said. "Garrett [Gerloff] and Josh [Herrin] were there and I was just riding off my pit board trying to just make my gap bigger and bigger and then maintain it. It was awe- some. Hats off to Garrett for racing with a broken bone. I know what that feels like and he's riding really well." The race for the final podium spot was intense. Anthony David Anthony (25) was just shy of the podium, while Garrett Gerloff (31) toughed it out to earn two podium finishes with a broken pinky.
