Danny Eslick, Nate Kern, Shane Narbonne, Robertino Pietri, Santiago Villa and Jeff Wood each won a CCS race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Bruce Rossmeyers Daytona Racing’s Eslick ran away with the SuperTwins sprint, giving the Buell 1125R its first-ever race win at Daytona, according to Team Owner Richie Morris.

BMW of Atlanta/Morton’s BMW’s Kern had a race-long duel with Ray Price Harley-Davidson’s David Estok in the Thunderbike event. Estok crashed while trying to break away on the final lap, handing the win to Kern. Estok was uninjured and able to remount and continue to fifth place.

Narbonne used the horsepower advantage of his DAS Performance Suzuki GSX-R750 to defeat the Heavyweight Superbike field.

Prieto Performance’s Pietri utilized a perfectly-timed drafting maneuver on the last lap to snatch the victory away from his former teammate, Team Roadracingworld.com M4 Suzuki’s Chris Ulrich, on the last lap of the Unlimited Grand Prix.

Ulrich’s current teammate Villa came out on top of a four-way battle with Brad Graham, Kern and Greg Melka to take first place in Middleweight Grand Prix.

Wood dominated the Middleweight Superbike race, winning by over six seconds on his Bettencourts Yamaha YZF-R6.
