Suzuki Scores another Top 10 at Infineon
North
Charleston, SC – May 2006 -- Millennium/KWS Suzuki sponsored by Ron Ayers
Motorsports battled rain, crashes and electrical problems to get another top 10
finish at Infineon Raceway this past weekend. Matt Lynn continues to get faster
each race, improving his personal best finishes in Superstock and Superbike.
Lee Acree, filling in for the injured John Haner, was quick in getting up to
speed despite limited time on the Pirelli shod Millennium/KWS Suzuki GSX-R1000.
For
SaturdayÕs Superbike race one, Matt Lynn qualified seventeenth and Lee Acree
qualified in the fifteenth position on their LeoVince equipped SuzukiÕs. Both
riders got excellent starts and Lynn had worked is way up to eleventh before
crashing out on lap seven. Acree inherited the eleventh position but suffered
an electrical problem and was forced to retired on lap eight. The team then
went to work preparing both GSX-R1000Õs for SundayÕs races despite the specter
of rain on Sunday.
Fortunately
the rain held off for a few hours on Sunday morning allowing the team a chance
at redemption in Superstock and Superbike race two. Lynn qualified twelfth for
Superstock, and with another great start was able to stay with the lead pack.
Lynn was battling for the seventh position with Jordan SuzukiÕs Steve Rapp and
Erion HondaÕs Josh Hayes when the red flag came out on lap eight for oil on the
track. Although upset at not being able to run the full distance and fight for
a possible top five finish, Lynn was extremely happy with ninth place, his best
AMA finish to date.
With only
ten minutes to between races due to the shortened schedule, Lynn hopped on his
Millennium/KWS Suzuki GSX-R1000 to run SundayÕs Superbike race two. Both Acree
and Lynn got good starts and rode very aggressively in the first few laps to
put themselves in a good position incase the weather did not hold and the race
was red flagged. Fortunately, the weather held and the Millennium/KWS Suzuki
riders finished nose to tail with Lynn in the thirteenth position and Acree in
the fourteenth position.
Matt
Lynn – ÒOverall
the weekend went really well. We had problems with the weather and I thought we
were not going to get a chance to race on Sunday. Fortunately the weather held
out and I got my best finishes to date in both classes. My mechanics, Rick
Matheny, Michael Godin and Brian Stricker worked really hard to get the bike
back together for the tight schedule on Sunday. I canÕt thank those guys
enough.Ó
Lee
Acree – ÒIt
was great to be back with Millennium/KWS Suzuki this weekend. I did not get a
lot of time to set up the bike due to the weather, but my mechanic Owen Garnett
and Chip Spalding worked really hard to give me the best bike they could with
amount of time we had to work on it. The Millennium/KWS Suzuki Superbike is a
lot different than the Vesrah Suzuki endurance bike that I am used to riding. I
am glad that I will have another chance to do well at Road America.Ó
Kevin
Hunt (Team Owner) – ÒThe team worked really hard this weekend and had to deal with a lot of
elements that where out their control. I am really excited about MattÕs
progression; he just keeps getting faster and faster. I would also like to
thank Lee Acree for helping us out this weekend, he did a great job!Ó
