SUPERSPORT ROUND 5/JUNE 12-14, 2015 BARBER MOTORSPORTS PARK/LEEDS, ALABAMA P166 I've got to give it up to George for giving me a second chance. It was a good race. We wanted a better position in this race [race two] than yesterday, but we'll take third and the momentum and go to Miller and keep pushing." Fong's podium marked the second time a non-Yamaha has managed to get on the podium. David Anthony did it in the first race of the season at Austin on his M4 SportbikeTrackGear.com Suzuki. Anthony went 6-5 at Barber. His fifth was the best re- sult since VIR. Anthony crashed heavily in qualifying and ran his backup bike on Saturday and was back to his primary machine after the crew rebuilt the ma- chine Sunday. "My guys worked all night to build me a new bike, and gave me a machine I liked," Anthony said." I kept the leaders in sight for the first third of the race, but there was nothing I could really do. So I focused on securing fifth to the checkered flag, de- spite seeing '+0' pretty much the whole way." That +0 Anthony saw in race two was RoadRace Factory Yamaha rider Tomas Puerta. Puerta went 5-6. In race one there was some controversy when Puerta went maybe too strong into a turn and punted his own teammate Cameron Peters- en off the track. CN Supersport Race One: 1.
