James rode hard in Practice and Qualifying aboard his #1 Celtic Orient Express Suzuki GSX-R 600 to take third position on the grid, posting the fastest time in Saturday morning Qualifying as well. Corey showed that he was back to form at Road America, qualifying just behind his teammate in fourth place in the thirty-two rider field on his #5 National Guard Fairhills Group Suzuki GSX-R 600, and was third fastest in second Qualifying. Race one on Saturday saw Rispoli battle for the lead with eventual race winner Lewis, and finish in third position just behind Mesa. Rispoli gained valuable points to maintain his Supersport West lead for the series championship. Alexander had a good start for the first green flag, but then after the red flag suffered with clutch issues which dropped him back to 22nd overall. Some determined and calculated racing moved Corey steadily through the field to finish eleventh, with a pace that would have placed him in the lead pack.
