Roadracingworld.com Suzuki’s Ulrich rounds out the podium
Round 2 – AMA Superstock Series
Birmingham, Alabama
Barber Motorsports Park
April 18 - 20, 2008
Michael Jordan Motor Sports Suzuki’s Aaron Yates celebrated his 15th career AMA Superstock victory
by winning Sunday afternoon’s 17-lap AMA Superstock race at Barber Motorsports Park in
Birmingham, Alabama. This is also Yates’ third consecutive AMA Superstock win at the scenic Barber
facility. Yates was joined on the podium by Roadracingworld.com Suzuki’s Chris Ulrich. Ulrich came
into the Barber race with a fourth-place finish at the season-opening round at Daytona International
Speedway. These results put Yates and Ulrich in first- and second-place overall, respectively, in the
AMA Superstock championship points chase.
Aaron Yates:
“I really enjoy the Barber race track a lot. You’re always doing something – going uphill, going
downhill, jumping over a curb. You’re always turning and the track flows really nicely. The Jordan
Suzuki GSX-R1000 handles that excellently.”
Chris Ulrich:
“For sure, I didn’t expect to be on the podium. I got a pretty good start on my Roadracingworld.com
Suzuki GSX-R1000 and then some guys crashed in front of me. I was trying to hang on to fourth
place and I came over the hill and saw another rider down. At that point, I just tried my best not to
crash. To get out of Barber with a podium is fantastic. I cant’ thank m y Roadracingworld.com
Suzuki team enough. I’m racing against some really fast guys and I’m looking forward to a long, hard
season.”
