Rocco Landers, the Championship point leader coming into the race, crashed twice. Landers crashed his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki GSX-8R out of second place on lap two of the original start. He was able to remount and continue in spite of missing his right footpeg.
Then on lap three, Rossi Moor suffered an ugly crash on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-8R that resulted in Moor crawling off the track in need of medical assistance and the red flag coming out.
On the restart, Landers worked his way from 12th on the grid up to third on the first lap, but at the end of lap two, Landers highsided entering the final corner. He walked away from the violent crash and did not finish the race.
