May 2008 - Lee Acree
Injured at Infineon Acree got a great start
for the Superstock race and spent the majority
of the race battling for fourth position with
Blake Young, Chris Paris, and Jason Pridmore.
The four riders where only separated by a few
tenths of a second and switch positions several
times. On lap fourteen Acree got a great drive
out of turn four and was closing quickly on
former World Endurance Champion Jason Pridmore,
when suddenly Pridmore’s engine failed and he
slowed rapidly. With only a few bike lengths
separating the two riders at well over 130mph
there was no time to react and Acree made hard
contact with the back of Pridmore’s Suzuki. >>more>>
