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
