BEACH AND ROCKWALL PERFORMANCE WIN IN ALABAMA Leeds, AL — RockwallPerformance.com racer J.D. Beach again staked his claim as the nation’s fastest AMA Pro SuperSport competitor during a tremendous season finale at Barber Motorsports Park. Beach emerged from the final weekend of the 2010 season with another pole position and a dominant runaway victory in the last race of the season. Only a crash out of the lead early in Saturday’s race prevented the AMA Pro SuperSport East Region champion from claiming the ‘National Championship’, which was awarded in ‘winner-take-all’ fashion over the season finale weekend. Starting from pole after qualifying with a best lap of 1:29.660 aboard his Rockwall Performance Yamaha R6 sponsored by Top 1 Oil and Red Bull, J.D. took control of Saturday’s 21-lap final on the second lap. However, he suffered in a spill in the Museum corner just moments later, ended his bid for the crown in disappointing fashion. Eager to make up for his mistake, Beach came out swinging on Sunday and thrived in what were very difficult wet conditions while many of his rivals struggled around him. Beach ultimately claimed the checkered flag with more than six seconds to spare in what was a remarkable eighth victory on the year for the fast-rising star. Beach said, “After the little rookie mistake I made on Saturday, I wanted to give the team another good finish to end the season on a high note. The team worked so hard for me this year and put a great bike underneath me all year. I picked my pace up in the rain and some other riders made some mistakes while I just rode a consistent race. I knew I had a good gap on second so I just made sure to not make any mistakes.” Beach was awarded his number one plate on Monday at the AMA Pro Road Race Awards banquet. Sunday’s superb performance was a fitting end to the 2010 AMA Pro SuperSport season for Rockwall Performance Yamaha. J.D. Beach and Cameron Beaubier were truly a force to be reckoned with, storming to a combined ten victories and the East Region title during an epic season. More, from a press release issued by Richie Morris Racing: ESLICK EARNS SECOND IN DAYONA SPORTBIKE POINTS GEICO Powersports RMR Suzuki’s Danny Eslick put forth a valiant effort to repeat as the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike at the Barber Motorsports Park finale but came up just a handful of points short following an intense season-long battle. The Oklahoman fought through tire issues during Saturday’s brawl to salvage a fifth-place ride and them came up with a gritty runner-up finish in Sunday’s season finale to consolidate second-place in the 2010 championship standings. Giving everything he had in his search for a second consecutive class title, Eslick pushed the limits throughout the weekend. As a result he crashed during practice and qualifying and banged fairings with his rivals on more than one occasion as he refused to give in. Danny held the lead as late as lap 19 of 21 in Sunday’s decisive finale after a mid-race red flag gave him a renewed opportunity to retain his crown but he just didn’t quite have the pace to match his rival in the final run to the checkered flag despite his all-out effort n his Lucas Oil-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R600. “I got a good jump on the first start but I just didn’t have anything for the leaders. After the red flag I got off to another good start. We made a spring change and there was a world of difference. “I tore up a bunch of motorcycles this weekend. I feel bad. I crashed more times this weekend than I think I did all year and all the years leading up to this weekend just really going for it. There was a lot on the line and we were really going for it. But in the end we just got beat this year. We gave it a heckuva shot and we’re going to come back next year swinging.” The GEICO Powerports RMR Suzuki team would like to congratulate Martin Cardenas and the M4 Monster Energy Suzuki team for winning a hard-fought championship ina fantastic season of racing in the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike class. Eslick didn’t walk away empty handed, however, as he was awarded the 2010 AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 title despite sitting out the last two rounds based on the strength of his three straight victories to open the series’ history. RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing’s Robert Tinagero picked up a fourth-place result in Sunday’s wet contest while Michael Corbino finished ninth. Despite narrowly missing a championship repeat, Eslick and the GEICO Powersports RMR Suzuki squad enjoyed a spectacular season. Eslick ended the year with three victories, ten podiums, four pole positions, and eight lap leader points to his credit in what was a truly memorable 2010 campaign.

More, from a press release issued by Wyman Brothers Racing: KYLE WYMAN 6TH AND 10TH IN AMA PRO DAYTONA SPORTBIKE SEASON FINALE MACEDON, NY (September 29, 2010) – With the AMA Pro Road Racing season at a close, Kyle Wyman capped it off with the best performance of his career, taking a 6th place finish in the dry race on Saturday and nabbing a come-from-behind 10th place result in Sunday’s race. After matching a career best 12th place qualifying position from NJMP the race before, the New Yorker pushed to the front and cultivated his best weekend to date. “It feels amazing to finally put together a complete weekend and come away with two top ten finishes,” said Kyle, “I felt like I’ve had a little bit of bad luck the past few rounds, and I wanted to go to Barber with a clean slate and show everyone what I can do before we head into the off season.” Kyle did not compete in the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 series at Barber Motorsports Park, putting forth all effort to perform well in the AMA Pro Daytona Sportbike presented by AMSOIL division. “In race one I got off to a good start and was able to tag onto the lead group for about six laps. I wanted to separate myself from the second group of riders and give myself a gap. Ultimately what that did was put me right in the middle of the two groups with about 12 seconds in front and behind me at the end of the race. It was such an amazing feeling looking up at the famous Barber scoreboard and seeing #133 in 6th position. I’m beside myself with that result and it will definitely be a memorable race for me.” Sunday’s forecast showed rain, and gave Kyle his second opportunity ever to ride in a wet race and familiarize with the Dunlop spec rain tires. “I ended up having a pretty bad start in the rain Sunday, and spun the rear tire which put me about 16th going into turn one,” said Kyle, “Bad turned to worse and I got on the paint on lap two coming into the second to last corner and went down. I ran back to my bike as fast as I could to find it in pretty good shape, just covered in mud. I jumped back on and kept plugging away seeing (position) 29 on my pit board. I worked my way to 21st before the red flag came out and I would be granted a miracle as I could grid up on the lead lap with the rest of my competitors. The remaining 10 laps I put my head down and as the track started to develop a dry line my bike really started to work great. For the first time I was wishing I had even more laps to run, as my pace seemed to get better and I could see more riders ahead that I was closing in on. But, I ran out of laps and was able to finish off the weekend with 10th.” Kyle Wyman finished 17th overall in the AMA Pro Daytona Sportbike championship despite competing in only 5 events of the 10 round series.
