The defending AMA Superstock Champion was able to overcome the adversity and finished in a strong seventh place. The day before, Yates picked up a second-row grid spot after posting a fastest qualifying lap time of 1:24.363. The Georgian admitted that he didn’t give 100 percent in qualifying because he’d banged up his shoulder in a get-off during practice the previous day and he knew he had a Superbike race later in the day. “I wasn’t pushing very hard,” he said. “My shoulder keeps getting a little better as the day goes on and it should be fine for the race tomorrow.” Although he’d hoped his shoulder would be better, that was not the case and riding the Superstock bike exacerbated the injury. “It was a tough race,” admitted Yates. “The Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 was fine and I tried for a few laps but my shoulder was bothering me and I just couldn’t run with it. I pushed as hard as I could but I just couldn’t gain any ground. I gave it all I had.” Aaron Yates, Team Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000, #1 7th Place AMA Repsol Lubricants Superstock 2nd Place Overall
