The 600cc Supersport race at Sears Point was red-flagged on before the sixth lap was complete due to a crash in turn 11 that left American Supercamp’s Tyler Wadsworth laying on the track with a concussion. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Aaron Yates had grabbed the holeshot and early lead over Eric Bostrom, Anthony Gobert, and Jamie Hacking. Gobert passed Bostrom on the brakes for turn 11 on lap three and took the lead from Yates on the next lap when Yates ran wide in the carousel. Hacking crashed on lap four at the exit of the carousel and was trying to get back in the race for the re-start. The new grid was formed from the lap five running order.

Kurtis Roberts switched to his back-up bike after his A-bike “broke” on the hot lap. During the 15-minute red flag break, Roberts’ crew switched the shock from his A-bike to his back-up machine. Roberts had a moment on lap five and dropped back five positions.
