TWO-TIME SUPERBIKE CHAMP JOSH HAYES COMMITS TO TRACK WALK AT BARBER Birmingham, Ala. Two-time AMA Pro Road Racing Superbike champion Josh Hayes has added his name to the list of riders who will walk the 17-turn race circuit with fans attending the opening day of the Triumph Superbike Classic at Barber Motorsports Park. The track walk will be free to all June 22nd ticket holders and ZOOM Motorsports, the exclusive promoter at the Barber Motorsports Park, will donate a portion of the day’s ticket sales to the Roadracing World Action Fund. Hayes is currently leading the standings in the National Guard SuperBike Series and has four wins in the season’s first seven races. The Mississippi native also has a pair of runner-up finishes to go with his victories. Hayes will be joined by his Monster Energy/Graves Yamaha teammate Josh Herrin, as well as superbike riders Roger Hayden and Taylor Knapp for the track walk. Daytona Sportbike riders Jason DiSalvo, Jake Lewis, Cory West and Kyle Wyman also have agreed to participate as has Triumph rider Dustin Dominguez. More than a dozen riders participated in last year’s walk at Barber. “This is such a neat opportunity for the fans,” said Rick Humphrey, Vice President of ZOOM Motorsports. “To think our fans are going to have the opportunity to walk the track with some of the sport’s biggest names is awesome. When we did this last year we had riders coming up to us at the last minute wanting to know if we still had room for them to participate.” In addition to the fan experience, the track walk will benefit the Roadracing World Action Fund, which has a mission to help prevent race track injuries. Specifically, the Roadracing World Action Fund advocates, promotes and is involved in the deployment of soft barriers to help prevent racetrack injuries, and provides education on the value of adequate pre-race practice, rider training, and proper racetrack preparation. Set for June 22-24, the Triumph Superbike Classic is the sixth event of the season for the AMA Pro Road Racing Series and marks the 10th season the 2.38-mile facility has hosted the series. The weekend will consist of seven races and three days of action-packed activities on the track, as well as off the track. In addition to the two marquee National Guard Superbike Series races, the weekend will feature two races in the GoPro Daytona SportBike class, Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport class and one race in the Vance & Hines XR1200 Series. Tickets for the Triumph Superbike Classic start at just $15 and can be purchased at www.barbermotorsports.com. Kids 15 and under are admitted free with a ticketed adult.
