From a press release issued by Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca: MONTEREY, Calif. American Nicky Hayden, rider for the Repsol Honda MotoGP team, spent nearly two days doing test laps at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Hayden was riding a new production Honda sport bike on track while Team Honda AMA Superbike competitors Miguel DuHamel and Neil Hodgson were at the track for pre-season testing. “I was in Southern California, so it was real easy to come up here,” says Hayden, the 2005 (sic) MotoGP World Champion. “We got some great weather so I came out here, did a couple laps.” Nicky also made a guest appearance at a private Honda event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “Laguna Seca, obviously, has a special place in my heart,” said Hayden, a two-time winner of the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix (2005 & 2006). “Honda is launching their new bike here so we came, hung out, and did some laps.” Nicky Hayden and other world-renowned riders will be at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Sunday, July 20, for the 2008 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix featuring the MotoGP World Championship. Tickets and paddock passes are available online at www.laguna-seca.com, www.ticketmaster.com, or by calling 1-800-327-SECA (3722). Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was established in 1957.
