Topeka, Kansas (Aug 2, 2009)– LTD Racing's Tomas Puerta took seventh place in the AMA Pro SuperSport event at Heartland Park Topeka in Kansas. The Colombian racer earned another top ten finish for the team even though he had a wrist injury that made racing painful. Puerta's teammate Huntley Nash had a tough end to a winning weekend when he crashed in Sunday's SuperSport race.

Puerta showed poise in the 16-lap race, balancing his performance along the way.. “It was a really hard race for me because I had the wrist injury,” said Tomas. “I wanted to charge harder but I knew I needed to conserve a bit for late in the race. Seventh place is a good result considering how I came into the weekend not knowing if I would be able to race. I'm looking forward to healing up and going to VIR. I was on pole in the Rookies Cup race there last year and it is one of my favorite tracks.”

After winning the Moto-GT2 race on Saturday, Huntley Nash had a disappointing SuperSport contest. Huntley, looking to charge hard and contend, unfortunately crashed out on lap one. “I'm frustrated,” said Nash. “I was pushing. We had some of the same problems we had in practice, so I knew we needed more speed. I was pushing hard and it started spinning and then it flipped me. I'll get over it and we'll get 'em next time but I really wanted to do well today.”

Despite the crash, Huntley is still tied with LTD Racing teammate Joey Pascarella for fourth in SuperSport East points. Joey raced at the X-games Supermoto this weekend and did not attend Heartland Park.

The VIR AMA Pro Road Racing event is August 14-16.
