Ed Key, Steve Rapp, Jeff Wood, Robert Jensen and Edward Lis won races and CCS National Championships Saturday at the Race of Champions at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida.

Motorcycle Performance’s Key, 49, won two more winner-take-all run-offs, bringing his total for the weekend to five races and five CCS National Championships won. In the Lightweight Supersport race, pole-sitter Key held off Robert Fisher, who started from row six of the grid, to win by 0.8-second on his Pirelli-equipped Suzuki SV650. Riding his SV650 Superbike, Key later withstood another strong challenge, this one from Stephen Servis, to win in Lightweight Superbike.

Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Steve Rapp rode Michelin’s newest DOT-labeled production race tires, the “Power Race,” to victory in the Heavyweight Superstock final, the tires’ debut event. Starting on row nine of the grid, Rapp passed Wood, Scott Harwell, Jensen, Geoff May and several others on his way to a 0.5-second margin of victory.

Wood won the twice-restarted Middleweight Supersport sprint by three seconds on his Dunlop-equipped Arclight Suzuki GSX-R600, beating Jensen, Harwell, Scott Greenwood and Michael Barnes.

Butler Machinery’s Jensen rode his Michelin-fitted Yamaha YZF-R6 to his first win of the weekend in the Yamaha-contingency-paying Middleweight Superbike contest, topping Barnes, Greenwood, Mike Himmelsbach and teen Tristan Schoenewald.

Riding a Dunlop-slick-shod Suzuki GSX-R750, East Coast Superbikes’ Edward Lis, 46, won his first-ever National Championship in the controversial Heavyweight Superbike final. Former track record holder Marco Martinez won the race on the track, but because he failed to acknowledge a black flag (brought about by his machine smoking), Martinez lost the win.
