ROAD RACE 2017 MOTOAMERICA AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING ROUND 2 / APRIL 29-30, 2017 ROAD ATLANTA / ATLANTA, GEORGIA P94 tried to stay in tow with them as long as I could. I just get away with them early so at the end of the race if someone is with me I can handle them one-on-one instead of a big group of guys. In the Superstock class a bunch of guys stick together at the front and it gets a little hectic, so I like to get away and get out of the mess before the end of the race." milestone for Chris Ulrich's team with victory in the Superstock 1000 (Jake Lewis), Supersport (Valentin Debise) and Super- stock 600 classes. McFadden headed home the same podium in race one, although the results were swapped around with Gilbert getting the better of Aguilar for second. "We had a good gap at the end of race one, so we ap- proached today with the same strategy and it worked out for us," McFadden said. "We got away on the first couple laps with the Supersport guys and because it didn't work," said Debise. "I went a little more wide on the back straight and Garrett was able to go outside of me. He went inside of me but be- cause he was so wide he wasn't able to brake as hard as me, so I make the pass. I tried to brake as late as I can in the final corner and he wasn't able to overtake me again. I'm really happy to get this win because I was looking forward to (getting) more wins this year." M4 medAge Suzuki's Nick McFadden once again took top step in the Superstock 600 class, making for an impressive Michael Gilbert (55) scraps it out with Daytona Anderson (104), Jason Aguilar (96), JC Camacho (91) and New Zealander Shane Richardson (26).
