Vesrah Suzuki’s Mark Junge, Chris Ulrich and Tray Batey won the WERA National Endurance Series 6-hour at Summit Point Raceway by four laps, extending their overall points lead in the process.

The race was shortened by three red flags, two to clear up crash debris and one due to lightning strikes in the area.

Loudoun Motorsports’ Ken Synder, David Yaakov and John Jacobi finished second, four laps behind and Ridge Racing’s Steve Smith, Todd Stoner, Tim Carroll and Dennis King finished third overall, another two laps back, making it a podium sweep for the Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Army of Darkness finished fourth overall and first in Mediumweight Superbike on a GSX-R600, while Team Clinton Cycles finished fifth overall, first in Mediumweight Superstock on a Yamaha YZF-R6.
