Ben Bostrom Wins Again and Extends Supersport Lead
22 May 2008
In sweltering hot conditions, Ben Bostrom used his Graves Motorsports YZF-R6 and superb physical conditioning to annihilate the competition at the fourth round of the 2008 AMA Supersport series in Sonoma, California on Sunday, May 18th. At his home track and with plenty of his old high-school buddies in attendance, Bostrom shattered the Supersport track record in qualifying, set fastest time in Sunday morning’s warm-up, and then managed the race with authority to take his third win of the year, extending his points lead in the process. After three straight podiums this year, teammate Josh Herrin wasn’t so fortunate this time, finishing sixth after running as high as third in the early going.
