AMA Supercycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire was held at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course of Lexington Ohio
Danny Eslick finished 3rd on Race 1 and took another victory on Race 2 at Daytona Sportbike. Michael Barnes finished 6th on AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200.

Danny Eslick's comment after Daytona Sportbike Race1.
“We went back and forth a couple times, and for four or five laps no one stuck a wheel on me, but then Josh would come by or Jason would stick a wheel in. And then, with three of four to go, here comes Dane. I thought, ‘Whoa – where’d he come from?’ I never saw Dane until that moment, and it kind of threw me a curveball; I wasn’t ready for him. I made a countermove after a while and passed him, and then you saw a bunch of stuff that doesn’t usually happen [at this track]. It was good, fun racing.”

Danny Eslick's comment after Daytona Sportbike Race2.
“Yesterday I tried to conserve on first few laps, but after looking at what Dane did [yesterday] coming from that far back, he definitely didn’t take it easy on the tire. So I just threw the hammer down from the get-go and figured, ‘If we get away, we get away. If not, protect where I can and be strong in other places.’ Josh got up there next to me a few times and even lead a lap, but I knew where he was going to make his move at the end, and I wasn’t going to make that mistake again. It was an awesome race: hot, greasy, sliding around … it was a lot of fun.”

Eslick now leads Herrin in the championship standings by a 15-point margin; DiSalvo, Aquino, and West round out the top-five overall.
