Exciting Times For RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing And AMA Pro XR1200 Series The AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series debuted at Road America and defending AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship team RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing played a major role with top AMA Pro competitors Danny Eslick and Jake Holden battling for the win in the memorable first race for the class. Talented young racer Kyle Wyman just missed making it a podium sweep for the team and Joseph Rozynski earned seventh place. RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing is looking to top that amazing race this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing, along with partners GEICO Powersports and Lucas Oil, are excited to be a part of this new class. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” says team owner Richie Morris. “We think this series is really going to be a hit with the fans and put more people in the seats. First of all, the racing is really good. With everyone being on similar equipment, that always makes for a fun show and close racing every fan can enjoy. It leaves things up to the rider to make the difference. Also, we’re addressing a different demographic with all the Harley-Davidson enthusiasts out there and we feel in the United States, that is very important. It’s great to be involved with Harley-Davidson at the race track again.” Morris has been associated with the late Bruce Rossmeyer since 1994 and the XR1200 class is an ideal way for the world’s largest new Harley-Davidson dealership to be involved in racing. In addition to Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing, GEICO Powersports and Lucas Oil, the team has compiled a notable set of technical partners for their AMA Pro XR1200 effort. Industry leaders Revolution Performance, Pilot, EBC, Race Tech, and Orient Express will help the team prepare their Harley-Davidson XR1200 machines to the highest possible standards. “The XR1200 is really a blast to ride,” says Morris. “It’s a fun machine, really sporty, and we think it translates well to the race track, too.” The historic first race for the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 class saw Eslick and Holden enthusiastically flog their RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing machines around the track as they fought for the win. The battle served to heighten interest in the following races for the class, including this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “I’m really proud of how the team performed at Road America and the weeks leading up to it as we got ready. All the riders did a great job and so did Rick Bretl, who leads up the XR1200 program for the team. It’s always a rush getting ready for the first race and we’ll do an even better job now that we have a race under our belts. We are going to push preparing these bikes to another level.” While AMA Pro race-winner Jake Holden is the team’s regular rider, a series of “special guests” will compete on the team’s equipment that promise to bring more excitement to the series, as Daytona SportBike champion Danny Eslick showed in Wisconsin. RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing has also prepared XR1200s for credentialed racers wishing to show their talent at upcoming races.
