Starting from the third row for the Lightweight Supersport Expert race, Matthew had quite a fight on his hands. For seven laps he battled the Aprilia RS 660s and Yamaha YZF-R7s on the little CFMOTO 450SS, catching the leader with three laps to go. After swapping the lead several times, Matthew took the win at the line.  
 
Matthew Chapin: “The race was a lot of fun. After riding the bike in the morning, we made some setup changes and it handled perfectly. The bike was solid in the corners allowing me to make up ground and get a very good drive onto the straight. It is fast, really fast. I want to thank Karns Performance for the opportunity to give it a try.”  
 
Team Owner Jason Karns: “We wanted to see what the bike was capable of, so Matthew said he would help us with some setup. His lap times looked competitive before we made changes to the bike. We decided to make the changes and see what the CFMOTO 450SS with a stock engine could do up against the much more powerful competition. Watching Matthew extract the full capability out of the CFMOTO was really something fun to watch. I want to thank Matthew for really putting it out there securing CFMOTO its first win in the USA. He has a lot of talent and is very patient, and it really showed today. He is going places.”
