Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo will race in Sunday’s AMA Superstock final, according to Yamaha Team Manager Tom Halverson.

DiSalvo crashed his YZF-R6 and suffered a deep tissue bruise to his right hand during Supersport qualifying Thursday, March 6. Although DiSalvo earned the 27th spot on the Supersport grid before his crash, the New York teenager missed all of Superstock qualifying.

DiSalvo will, however, take a provisional start and begin Sunday’s 13-lap Superstock final from the 50th and last grid spot.

“Anything to get points,” said Jim DiSalvo, Jason’s father.

Jason DiSalvo plans to contest the entire 2003 AMA Superstock series on his Yamaha YZF-R6.

According to the elder DiSalvo, the extra time between Friday, the original date of the Supersport and Superstock races, and Sunday allowed Jason DiSalvo’s injured hand more time to heal.

Meanwhile, Parts Unlimited PJ1 Erion Honda’s Roger Lee Hayden got his injured left hand taped Sunday morning. Hayden, who injured his hand in a crash during Supersport practice, said he had very little range of motion and strength in his injured hand and couldn’t ride without it being taped up.
