BOBBY @FONG FINISHES THIRD IN #SUPERSPORT #RACE ONE AT @TRIUMPH #SUPERBIKE CHALLENGE
ATLANTA (June 13, 2015) – Triumph rider Bobby Fong earned his first podium finish of the 2015 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship as his #50 Latus Motors Racing / Castrol / Triumph Daytona 675R finish third in Supersport race one at the Triumph Superbike Challenge.
Starting second on the grid for the 21-lap race at Barber Motorsports Park, Fong quickly became entrenched in a four-way battle for the lead. A small mistake coming out of the third turn at the midway point of the race saw Fong drop down to fourth. He put his head down and charged back to third, putting himself within striking distance of the leaders. Fong looked to attack for second place in the closing laps before settling for third, a mere 0.596 seconds behind first.
“It feels great to put the Latus Motors Racing / Castrol / Triumph Daytona 675R onto the podium today,” said Bobby Fong. “We always want the win, but I can’t be too disappointed with third after the moment I had. Tomorrow’s another day and I know we’ll be up there again.”
