Nash earned his ninth podium result of 2010 while Puerta has finished inside the top five in each of the nine AMA Pro SuperSport East races this season. Nash got his patented great start and led early on. “We have been a little bit behind this weekend but everyone is working hard to make it up,” said Nash. “I just tried to get the best start that I could and ended up getting a pretty good one. I got in the lead, but J.D. went back around on the outside. I settled in from there, but about halfway through the race Joey got by me and he pulled away from the pack a little bit. I looked back another time and Tomas was there. I managed to hold on to third. At one point, I tried to make a move back up into second but Joey was running strong. It was a good race and we’re looking to improve for tomorrow.” “Fourth place is good but I am tired of finishing fourth,” said Puerta, who has four fourth place finishes this year along with three podium placings. “I want to get on the podium. I wasn’t totally comfortable with the bike in the race but I was in fourth place and pretty close to Huntley in the final laps. A lapped rider slowed me up and, at that point, I decided to call off the chase and make sure I got fourth. We are working some on the bike for tomorrow and we’re hoping to get on the podium.” Matias Cassano earned 16th place in the race and was the third Top Gun finisher. The racer from Argentina impressively finished on the lead lap in his first race at VIR a tight, twisty circuit unkind to newcomers. “We need to work on some stuff, to make the bikes a little quicker and pick up some more for tomorrow,” said LTD Racing’s Gary Medley. “It’s not so much speed as much as we’ll try to make the bikes handle a little better and maybe we’ll be a little closer for Sunday.”
