GILBERT AND PRINCE SCORE FIRST WINS
Saturday's Bazzaz Superstock 600
race one final was also held in iffy con-
ditions and no one mastered them bet-
ter than HB Racing's Michael Gilbert,
the Yamaha R6-mounted rider earning
his first victory of the year and the first
of his pro career. Second place went
to Ryan Jones, the 34-year-old having
the best outing of his career on his
Push Brewing Kawasaki after qualify-
ing 15th when his ZX-6R was found to
be underweight in qualifying. Jones
was 1.8 seconds behind Gilbert at the
finish.
"I was hoping it was going to rain
because I knew the rain was really
going to help me," Gilbert said. "You
just have to ride smooth and consis-
tent and that's what we did—lap after
lap. We practice this a million times
wherever—on the dirt track—so you
keep riding smooth and put your laps
together and bring it home."
Third went to podium first-timer
Nick McFadden, the R6-mounted
privateer from Owensboro, Kentucky
having the best day of his pro career.
McFadden ran second to early leader
Richie Escalante before giving way to
Gilbert and ultimately Jones.
Sunday's race two went to Tuned
Racing's Bryce Prince, the Califor-
nian beating Wyman Racing's Travis
