Iniza ufficialmente la Daytona 200, con la prima delle due sezioni di qualifiche ufficiali dell’AMA SuperSport. A mettere tutti in riga al momento è stato Corey Alexander fermando il crono sull’ 1’52”728 in sella ad una Suzuki GSX-R 600 del Celtic Racing, davanti al suo compagno di squadra, campione in carica della categoria, con soli 52 millesimi di ritardo. Leggermente staccato troviamo il mattatore delle libere Dustin Dominguez con la Triumph Daytona 675R e a Hayden Gillim, cugino del più famoso della famiglia Hayden. Nella top ten, si piazzano i veterani Jake Lewis, Ryan Kerr, Miles Thornton e Sebastiao Ferreira supportato dall’ex pilota Cagiva Doug Chandler.
Presente anche la ragazzina-fenomeno Elena Mayers, prima donna a vincere una gara AMA Pro Road e vista più volte nel box Rizla Suzuki in motoGP, che in questa sessione non va oltre l’11° posto in griglia con la GSX-R 600 del Team Hammer/m4 a causa di una bandiera rossa proprio mentre stava siglando il terzo tempo assoluto, rimane comunque la prima delle ragazze in classifica.
