Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking led the final AMA Supersport practice Thursday at Daytona International Speedway. Riding his Dunlop-equipped ZX-6R, Hacking turned a lap of 1:41.853, nearly equaling his pole-position qualifying time of 1:41.802. After ending his session early, Hacking said changes to his chassis gave him more grip, allowing him to lap as quickly on a race-compound tire as he did on a qualifying tire Wednesday. Missing from the Thursday morning Supersport practice time sheet was Celtic Racing’s Chaz Davies. According to Celtic Racing Team Owner Barry Gilsenan, Davies started the session without a timing transponder on his Yamaha YZF-R6, pitted to make chassis changes, returned to the track with a transponder on his bike and then crashed in turn one at the start of his next flying lap. “He’s in the infield care center,” Gilsenan told Roadracingworld.com. “I spoke with him. He’s OK. They’re just doing some precautionary X-rays.” Gilsenan said Davies did not know why he crashed.
