Kennesaw, Georgia (July 30th, 2010), As Team Zyvax heads into this weekend’s WERA National Endurance 6 Hour Race at Summit Point Raceway, WV, redemption is the name of the game for the Zyvax R1 crew. After their teammates on the R6 took the win at Grattan earlier this month, the Zyvax R1 effort is on fire with determination to cross the finish line first. It’s the ultimate battle, the very definition of racing; two teams under the same canopy and leading the points in their classes, both on proven machines, both facing challenges and both hungry for the win. Coming off the win at Grattan and narrowing the gap to a paltry four points between them and the Zyvax R1, Dane Westby and Clinton Seller astride their Team Zyvax / Graves spec Yamaha R6 look to again defeat the bigger bikes and take the win. This will be Seller’s first time on the 10-turn, 2-mile Summit Point Circuit. The two R6 riders will have to fight hard to chase down the bigger bikes on a track that’s better suited for the liter machines. Summit Point’s long uphill straights will give Zyvax team rider Chris Clark and guest rider Jason Disalvo an edge over their R6 teammates. Clark and Disalvo’s Graves Motorsports prepped / Team Zyvax R1 will eat up the track’s 2900-foot main straight. Though Clark has not ridden on the track prior to this weekend, his determination to redeem the win over the R6 is all the fuel he needs! Unfortunately Clark’s teammate and fellow Zyvax R1 rider Ben Bostrom will not be on hand to help win the battle at Summit Point. Bostrom’s 150mph get-off at Mid-Ohio left him with a detached ligament and a chipped bone in his left thumb. Bostrom regrets having to miss out on this weekend’s 6 Hour, even attempting to have a support made so he could ride. “We hope to get this thing back to par soon,” said Bostrom of his injured thumb. Bostrom expects to be back on the track for VIR’s WERA weekend in August. “It’ll be tough without Ben this weekend but I have faith in Chris and Jason,” said team owner JB Layman of his riders. “It should be good racing. The heat is going to challenge the bikes and the riders but the guys are fit and the bikes are dialed. We expect nothing less than good, strong finishes.” For images of the last WERA round see ~http://www.gravesport.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=712~ Team Zyvax is sponsored by Zyvax, Inc, Graves Motorsports and Dunlop. www.teamzyvax.com Graves Motorsports is a leading motorcycle sport bike parts and accessories manufacturer.
