Spoiler Alert: 2012 AMA SuperSport results from New Jersey Motorsports Park listed below
Latus Motors Triumph’s Dustin Dominguez was awarded the victory at the conclusion of another wild AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport contest.
Already halted earlier by a red flag, the race was decided by a second red flag that flew with just three laps remaining.
Saturday winner James Rispoli took the lead from Dominguez aboard his Celtic Racing/Orient Express/Army National Guard Suzuki GSX-R600 on lap 16 of a scheduled 19 and put his head down in a bid to make a late escape.
Dominguez was hot in pursuit and weaved right to overtake a pair of lapped riders on the front straight after Rispoli had powered by them on the left.
Dominguez and Babuska Racing’s Chris Starke made contact as he attempted to draft past, sending Starke tumbling down to the tarmac.
The race was called at that point, and when the order was reset to the previous lap, Dominguez was declared the winner.
“The race was going good and James and I were going at it,” Dominguez said. “It was unfortunate there at the end. We got into lapped traffic and kind of collided there. I feel horrible — it’s probably one of the most uncomfortable wins I’ve ever had. I wish it would have come down to the end.”
Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki’s Jake Lewis took third, coming out on top of a deep, multi-rider struggle for the final podium position.
Lewis finished one spot ahead of National Guard/Fairhills Group/Celtic Racing Suzuki’s Corey Alexander, who earlier sliced his way up from ninth to third.
Y.E.S. Graves Yamaha’s Garrett Gerloff added yet another top-five result to his tally in his return weekend.
