John McGairty, Michael Barnes and Jeff Wood were the big winners Saturday during CCS sprint racing action at Daytona International Speedway.

McGarity was impressive, taking wins in Heavyweight Supersport and Heavyweight Superbike on his Michelin-equipped RRR Cycles Atlanta Suzuki GSX-R750.

In the Heavyweight Supersport race, McGarity pulled away late to beat Joe Riberio and Arclight Suzuki’s Scott Harwell by over two seconds. It was a bit closer in the Heavyweight Superbike final as McGarity had to draft Harwell and Marco Martinez from the chicane to the finish line to collect win number two.

Bettencourts’ Wood did McGarity one better, going from fourth to first with a triple draft on the final run to the checkered flag in the Middleweight Supersport sprint. Robert Jensen finished second, Argo Cycles’ Scott Greenwood got third, Larry Pegram was fourth and Shawn Conrad took fifth. The first non-Yamaha in the race was Harwell, who finished 13th on his 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600.

Barnes missed the Middleweight Supersport race after another rider knocked his brake lever off in a pre-race collision on the starting grid. Barnes made up for his misfortune, however, by winning the six-lap Middleweight Superbike race from row seven of the grid.

Barnes rode a Pirelli-shod Prieto Racing/GMD Computrack Yamaha YZF-R6 to the win. Butler Machinery’s Jensen finished second to Barnes and inches ahead of Greenwood, third. Jeff Wood took fourth well clear of Triangle Cycles Yamaha’s Larry Pegram.

Other race winners Saturday included: Jason Lewis in Amateur Middleweight Supersport and Amateur Middleweight Superbike, John Linder in Expert Lightweight Supersport, Ernie Dix in Amateur Heavyweight Supersport, Derek Keyes in Expert Lightweight Superbike, Robert Taylor in Amateur Lightweight Supersport, Hilton Geartner in Amateur Heavyweight Superbike, Roberto Concepcion in Expert SuperTwins and Richard Downer in Amateur SuperTwins.
