From Pirelli Press

Rome, Georgia: Led by Martin Cardenas, Pirelli riders dominated the top five positions in Saturday’s Formula Xtreme race at Barber Motorsports Park, taking every position from second to fifth. Tacked to the tail of the M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R600 of Cardenas was Daytona 200 winner Chaz Davies, who is now the only rider with a podium-only season in FX. Behind Davies’ Attack Kawasaki ZX-6R was Larry Pegram on his team Leo Vince/Foremost Insurance Ducati 848 in fourth, and Davies’ teammate Steve Rapp rounding out the top five. Race winner was Jake Zemke.

In Formula Xtreme points for the season the top three positions are all Pirelli, showing the clear domination of the Pirelli Superbike Slicks. Davies leads the points followed by Cardenas and Steve Rapp in second and third. Pegram is currently tied for fourth, except in the abstract consideration of the season ending today.

Saturday’s Supersport qualifying had Pirelli riders lapping the competition on the Diablo Supercorsa DOT racing tires, with M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Blake Young and Attack Kawasaki’s Steve Rapp earning positions on the front row for Sunday’s race, respectively with the third- and fourth-fastest times. Martin Cardenas, Young’s teammate, put his GSX-R600 on the second row, directly behind Young, with Chaz Davies earning a grid position on row three with the 10th-quickest time of the day. Cory West, also teammate to Young, qualified 13th, matching his competition number.

Speaking of Blake Young, in Superstock qualifying for Sunday’s final Young put his M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R1000 on the front row with the third-best time at the picturesque and pastoral Barber circuit. Chris Ulrich has ensured a good race for himself by qualifying on the second row with his Roadracingworld.com Suzuki in the seventh spot on the grid, while his teammate Robertino Pietri qualified in ninth.
