Attack Kawasaki's Steve Rapp earned second-place after a race-long battle in the AMA Formula Xtreme race at Road America.

After qualifying on the front row of the starting grid, Rapp battled back and forth with for the lead, giving spectators an exciting competition to watch during the duration of the 10-lap race.

"I knew when I was in third that I had to get up to Josh (Hayes) at the front, otherwise he would have run away with it," said Rapp. "My bike was running great and I quickly got around third and stayed with Josh the whole race. I knew it was going to come down to the last lap. Each race we get closer to finding (bike) set-ups that keep us at the front and obviously this race we were very close to reaching the top of the podium."

Teammate Ben Attard also started on the front row, but experienced some bad luck with his bike set up and eventually came across the finish line in seventh.

Rapp currently sits second in the point standings for the AMA Formula Xtreme class while Attard is sixth.

In the AMA Superbike race, Hayden put in an impressive race moving from his 11th-place starting position to finish seventh after riding behind teammate Hacking for a majority of the race. Hacking finished in ninth.

"My start went pretty good and I just stuck with Jamie until I passed him with a couple laps to go," said Hayden. "Tomorrow we have a few ideas for changes to get more power through the ignition. If it rains, we have some ideas for that as well, so hopefully it will turn out good."

Rain could become a factor in the AMA Supersport race and second AMA Superbike race, which is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Road America.
