TIE, Barrett Long/Pinson, 33 More, from a press release issued Michael Jordan Motorsports: MICHAEL JORDAN MOTORSPORTS SCORES A PODIUM AT ROAD AMERICA National Guard Jordan Suzuki’s Jake Zemke third in championship points ELKHART LAKE, WI (June 6, 2010) Michael Jordan Motorsports (MJM) holds onto third place in the championship points race after completing races nine and ten of the 2010 AMA Pro National Guard American Superbike Championship held at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI this weekend. National Guard Jordan Suzuki’s Jake Zemke scored a fifth place finish on Saturday and took third in Sunday’s race. Brett McCormick, Aaron Yates’ replacement rider, had his best result of the season scoring two top ten finishes with a ninth place finish on Saturday and an eighth on Sunday. On Saturday, Zemke ran in third place for a number of laps before dropping back and eventually finishing fifth. On Sunday, Zemke initially ran with the leaders before settling into a solid third place for the entire thirteen-lap race. Zemke dropped to third in the championship points race heading into the next event at Mid-Ohio. “I got a decent jump off the line,” Zemke said. “The first lap these guys (Josh Hayes and Tommy Hayden) were setting a great pace. Josh, I saw him jump to the front and I knew exactly where he was going. He was going to go as hard as he could to separate the pack; that’s what he likes to do. Unfortunately, I got mixed up with Blake (Young) there and we passed each other back and forth a couple of times and that let Tommy (Hayden) and Josh (Hayes) get away. They had a little bit of a gap. And I just put my head down as hard as I could to catch them; it was just to no avail. The pace was too fast for me, but my guys did a great job.” “Friday in qualifying,” Zemke continued, “I made one lap and then completely totaled my bike, so my boys had a lot of work to do. They built me a brand new bike that night out of parts out of the trailer. So my hat goes off to my whole crew, because they had a hard weekend in front of them. In yesterday’s race, we were fighting the bike quite a bit and had been all weekend. Last night they put their heads together and came out this morning and the bike was really good. I just wish I could have gotten off the line so I could’ve made it a three-rider battle instead of two.” During the weekend, Jake Zemke’s National Guard Suzuki GSX-R1000 was proudly sporting the state patch of the Wisconsin National Guard’s 64th Troop Command, one of the state’s four major commands responsible for providing command level support to subordinate units. The corresponding National Guard state patches will be placed on Zemke’s Suzuki for the remainder of the 2010 season. Look for the 2010 Michael Jordan Motorsports team at their next event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, OH on July 16-18, 2010.
