Millville, New Jersey (September 6, 2009)– Tomas Puerta finished fifth in the New Jersey Motorsports Park SuperSport race, earning his best finish of the year. Huntley Nash showed impressive form in two Sunday races, including claiming 17thin the premier Daytona SportBike event with some late-race passes. Jake Gagne's first SuperSport race was memorable as he scored sixth and built speed the entire weekend.

Tomy's best race of the year was a challenge for the Colombian rider. A good start was followed by a few uncertain moments, but he responded to consolidate his position on the track. “It was a good race. The first couple of laps, I was pushing hard and I did my best time of the weekend,” said Puerta. “After that, I made some mistakes but I managed to keep it together and focused and was able to get my times back down to 1:26 flat. I'm happy with the result and thanks to the team for working so hard for me.”

Huntley showed strong form in the Daytona SportBike race. “I was a little apathetic about going out for Daytona SportBike because I thought I didn't have the pace and we're concentrating on SuperSport this year. I got an okay start and a lot of drama went down in the first turn with some other riders. I got in a group with Mike Barnes, Fernando Amantini, and Josh Gallister. They are all good racers so it was quite a challenge for me. At the end of the race, I managed to get past all of them and was 17th, so that's a good feeling. It was fun. In SuperSport, we turned some pretty good laps. I think we accomplished our goal of making the bike better this weekend so now we are looking good for Daytona. All of the mechanics worked hard this weekend and I want to say thanks to everybody.”

Jake Gagne had an impressive weekend for LTD Racing. The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup star dipped down into the 1:25 range in his first 600cc race. “I was nervous because I had never started a 600 in a race before but it was fine,” said the Californian. “I got away and settled in and then I got going. I learned a lot. Sixth place is not bad for your first 600 race but I was looking for a top five. It was fun to get to race at New Jersey and thanks to the team for the opportunity.”

LTD Racing will compete at the Daytona event October 16-18.
