The closest racing of the day had to be in the A Superbike Expert race where Danny Dominguez drew even with early leader, Bryan West, in the final turn of the 8-lap race, then won the drag race to the finish, winning by 0.041 second; and in the Super Motard division, where the lead changed hands several times a lap between Eric Falt, Will Gruy and Loren Swor before Gruy made a desperation pass for the lead just two corners from the finish to top Falt and Swor for the win.
