The AMA Supersport race was stopped on the first of a scheduled 10 laps when rain began to fall on the four-mile Road America racetrack.

At the time the race was stopped, Yamaha’s Damon Buckmaster was pulling away in the lead.

Buckmaster’s teammate Jason DiSalvo had moved into second place but lost the front and crashed in turn eight.

Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies was second ahead of Erion Honda’s Jake Zemke, but the race was stopped before the leaders reached Canada Corner, turn 12.

At post time, it was raining at Road America, most teams were changing to rain tires and AMA Pro Racing officials had declared the event a “wet” race.
