Saturday, July 18, 2009
Lexington, Ohio (July18, 2009)-- LTD Racing's three young riders qualified for the Mid-Ohio AMA Pro SuperSport race on Saturday, with Tomas Puerta earning seventh spot for tomorrow's race. Huntley Nash, doing double duty this weekend, won the SunTrust Moto-GT2 class on Saturday along with Corey Rech for Touring Sport Ducashop Ducati.
“In MotoGT, Corey and I had a great race and were able to win the class. The bike was a blast to ride. Corey got us out in front and then it came time for my hour stint. It didn't seem like a full hour out there and the Touring Sport Ducati felt great and I was happy with the lap times. I'm really thankful to the team for letting me ride their bike,” said Huntley.

Nash will start 16thin SuperSport on Sunday.“We had some issues this morning in SuperSport,” said Nash, “but we're working to get ready for the race tomorrow. The key is getting everything sorted and putting in a good race and that's how we'll remember the weekend.”
Tomas Puerta qualified seventh with a time of 1:32.738. “It was not my favorite qualifying of the year,” said Puerta. “It was a little slick out there and by the time I started to push and set quick times, qualifying was done. I hope to get a good start tomorrow and fight for the podium.”

Joey Pascarella will start tenth in tomorrow's race after setting a time of 1:32.941. “It's not where I wanted to be, but it's pretty decent,” said the Californian. “We've had some set-up issues all weekend and in the session I just rode it out and did the best I could because there wasn't enough time. We're working on it now and we'll have some answers for tomorrow.”
The 17-lap AMA Pro SuperSport race begins at 3:00 PM.
