Rule The Road Rule the Highway
Zemke leads series to Road Atlanta
The 2010 season began with Jordan Suzuki rider Aaron Yates taking a popular pole position at the opening event. Under the watchful eye of team owner Michael Jordan, new National Guard Jordan Suzuki rider Jake
Zemke followed up Yates's great performance with double race victories on the high banks of Daytona. Yates continued his show of qualifying speed with another pole position at the Auto Club Speedway last month.
But that weekend saw two more different winners on the California track.
Foremost Insurance Pegram Racing Ducati rider Larry Pegram took a very hard fought and popular victory in race one ahead of the Jordan teammates Zemke and Yates. Sunday's second National Guard SuperBike race once again saw the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team regain their rightful place top the podium but this time, it was a well deserved and long over due first time victory for Tommy Hayden. Hayden and his Suzuki have been
frontrunners all season, with two close second place finishes at Daytona and a relatively solid performing package all year long, the team leader for Rockstar Makita Suzuki and Yoshimura, finally answered the pundits with a extremely well judged and executed victory over Team Graves Yamaha rider Josh Hayes and Hayden's Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Blake Young.
In a sad twist of fate, Yates had an unfortunate accident during the Sunday morning warm up at Auto Club
Speedway and suffered multiple injuries to his right leg. While he recovers at his Georgia home, young Canadian rider Brett McCormick will move from his Celtic Racing Suzuki to the Jordan Suzuki.
Another rider undergoing medical treatment is M4 Monster Energy Suzuki rider John Hopkins, who underwent surgery after the Auto Club Speedway race. Hopkins ran very strong during the early stages of the California races and will hopefully be able to show his true potential on his return to the American motorcycle racing scene after a number of successful years in Europe in MotoGP and World Superbike.
His teammate Chris Ulrich has also had a good start to the 2010 season with a sixth place at Daytona. Riding his M4 Monster Energy Suzuki, he is currently just behind Pat Clark Motorsports Yamaha rider Ben Bostrom in the point standings. RidersDiscount.com Suzuki rider Taylor Knapp is ninth in the points just ahead of McCormick.
Practice and qualifying begin on Friday and final qualifying and the first of two AMA Pro National GuardAmerican SuperBike races will take place at 3:00pm local time Saturday. Race two will be Sunday at 3:00pm local time.
The 2010 AMA Pro Racing Daytona SportBike series has delivered three of the wildest races yet and the Suzuki SuperBike Showdown will host the next edition of this exciting series.
This year's championship began in Florida at the famous Daytona 200 and the race didn't disappoint as any
number of riders could have taken victory. Josh Herrin riding his Team
Graves Yamaha emerged with a well deserved win.
