Graves Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo dominated AMA Superstock qualifying Saturday at California Speedway with not one but two laps worthy of pole position and a new lap record of the 2.3-mile infield road course. With his first Dunlop qualifier mounted to his YZF-R1, DiSalvo turned a lap of 1:24.723, well under Ben Spies’ old lap record of 1:25.341, turned in 2004. Any question as to the legitimacy of DiSalvo’s time came when he mounted his second qualifier late in the session and lapped at 1:24.688. DiSalvo’s teammate and title rival Jamie Hacking had his first quick lap, a 1:25.5, taken away for cutting the course on the lap prior, but his second quick lap of 1:25.276 counted for the second spot on the grid. Aaron Yates crashed his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 early in the 40-minute Superstock qualifying session, but the Georgian returned to the track on his spare bike in time to record a third-quick 1:25.902. Kawasaki’s Tommy Hayden claimed the final spot on the front row with a 1:25.920 on his factory ZX-10R in the closing seconds of the session. Row two of the grid for Sunday’s Superstock race will include Graves Yamaha’s Damon Buckmaster (1:26.058), Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki’s Steve Rapp (1:26.219), Team M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Vincent Haskovec (1:26.240) and Roger Hayden (1:26.463). Row three will be composed of Geoff May, Aaron Gobert and Lion Racing’s John Haner and Jake Holden. Provisional AMA Superstock Qualifying Results: 1. Jason DiSalvo, Yamaha, 1:24.688 2.
