Tommy Hayden beat his brother and factory Kawasaki teammate Roger Lee Hayden with a last-lap, last-corner pass to win the rain-interrupted AMA Supersport race at Brainerd International Raceway.

The win, his fourth of the season, extends Tommy Hayden’s Championship lead from 24 to 29 points, unofficially, with four races remaining.

Less than a second behind the Haydens, Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo finished third to collect his second podium finish of the day.

Defending Supersport Champion Jamie Hacking never challenged for the lead and finished fourth on his factory Yamaha YZF-R6, in front of fellow Yamaha rider Aaron Gobert, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies, Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Steve Rapp and Spies’ teammate Aaron Yates.

Yates was delayed when he was forced to take evasive action to avoid Corona Extra Suzuki’s Ben Attard, who crashed in front of Yates (and just behind Rapp) on race lap nine.
