Sutton, battered and bruised, rebounded Sunday to take second, salvaging points. Andy DiBrino returned and pointed his GSX-R1000 right back at the front of the pack. DiBrino was on the podium throughout the weekend, staying out of trouble, keeping his training sharp he heads to Virginia International this weekend with MotoAmerica.
