Lexington, OH (July 19, 2009)– LTD Racing's Huntley Nash finished eighth in Sunday's AMA Pro SuperSport East race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Nash was the first of the talented LTD Racing teammates to finish the 17-lap final. Tomas Puerta earned 11^thafter a stop and go penalty and Joey Pascarella crashed after being hit by another rider on the start.

Nash improved eight places from his starting position. “Considering how our weekend started, I was happy to get this result,” said Nash. “Once we crossed the barrier into the low 1:31s, it put us in position to make some more changes to the bike. We struggled some early in the weekend and so we never got to take that step. I learned a lot about what it takes to get up to speed fast and the importance of it. In the race, I got into a groove and raced with some other riders and I had a good time. I took it easy for the first couple of laps but I didn't want to make a mistake. I got a good results here and we got the win in the Moto-GT race, so it is something to build on.”

Tomas Puerta rebounded to take 11th but was not happy after serving a penalty for his jump start. “I'm disappointed and it was a bad race for me. I hadn't jumped the start before, so I am a little mad,” said Puerta. “I am ready to go to Kansas to race right now but I know we'll have to wait.”

Joey Pascarella crashed shortly after the start. The Californian had tough luck at Mid-Ohio. “Someone hit my hurt arm and it popped and I let go of the bar,” said Pascarella. “Then I was on the ground.”

LTD Racing returns to action July 31- Aug 2 at the next AMA Pro race at Heartland Park.
