CHICAGO (February 26, 2009) Michael Jordan Motorsports is pleased to announce that Aaron Yates will pilot the Jordan Suzuki American Superbike entry featuring the legendary #23 of team owner Michael Jordan’s unmatched NBA playing career. Geoff May will pilot the #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki American Superbike entry, paying homage to the 50 states and 4 territories that the National Guard serves. “These two numbers are incredible symbols of dedication, innovation and honor,” said Kreig Robinson, MJM Director of Business Development. “There is considerable meaning behind each number. Michael Jordan’s number 23 is associated with his great achievements on the basketball court, while the Guard’s number is a reminder of the commitment that soldiers make every day.” Michael Jordan Motorsports will field two separate teams in the 2009 AMA Pro Racing American Superbike series, adding an additional transporter and crew for the #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki team, following the multi-team format popular with top NASCAR organizations.
