Hacking Joins Hayden on the Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki Squad Irvine, Calif. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. announced today that Jamie Hacking will return for his third-consecutive season aboard a Kawasaki Ninja® motorcycle. The three-time AMA Champion will join Roger Hayden on the factory-backed Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki team, competing in the AMA Daytona SportBike class. “We are very pleased to have Jamie back with our team,” said Mike Preston, Kawasaki Road Racing Manager. “He’s a proven champion in the 600 class. With his knowledge and experience on the Kawasaki, we expect him to be up on the podium every weekend.” Hacking is no stranger to the Daytona 200, finishing third in the prestigious race during his rookie season. Most recently, he finished runner-up to Hayden in the AMA Supersport class in 2007. “I’m looking forward to ride the Daytona 200 again,” said Hacking. “It seems I’ve finished in every other position but on top. I definitely want to go after a win. The Attack team has a great reputation at this race so it makes me feel confident. I’ve heard great reviews about the new ZX™-6R and I’m ready to go out and ride it.” Hayden will be making his Daytona 200 debut aboard the all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. The 2007 AMA Supersport Champion has demonstrated his abilities at the historic Daytona International Speedway, winning the AMA Supersport race back-to-back in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, he earned a podium finish despite riding with an injured hand. “Daytona has been good to me over the years in the 600 class,” said Hayden. “Its going to be challenging riding the Daytona 200, but it’s definitely going to be fun. Now that I’m all healed from my injuries last year, I really want to go after my second championship in 2009 and the ZX-6R is really going to be the bike to beat.” With three 600cc championships between Hayden and Hacking, both riders are extremely capable and hungry to capture another title.
