TIE, Barrett Long/Peris/Pinson/Siebenhaar, 11 More, from a press release issued by AMA Pro Racing: Hayden Gets First Career Superbike Win at Auto Club Speedway; Herrin, Pascarella Also Victors FONTANA, CA (March 28, 2010) – It seems hard to believe, but today’s AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike race saw a famous name in motorcycling take his first win in the ultra competitive class. Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider, Tommy Hayden bounced back from a disappointing Saturday race in the windy conditions and came back after an overnight talk to himself to score his very first American SuperBike win at the Suzuki SuperBike Challenge weekend races at Auto Club Speedway. Under calm and clear blue skies, the field was missing its’ pole sitter as Aaron Yates suffered an unfortunate fall during Sunday morning’s warm-up session. Yates, who also took pole position at the season opening SuperBike race at Daytona, was examined at the track infield care center and then transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for further examination of what was reported initially by the Jordan Suzuki team to be a right leg injury. At the start, Saturday’s race winner, Larry Pegram on his Foremost Insurance Pegram Racing Ducati, took the lead with a hard charging Josh Hayes in second on his Team Graves Yamaha, followed by another fast starting John Hopkins on his M4 Monster Energy Suzuki, Hayden and his Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate, Blake Young. Hayes showed his intentions early as he passed Pegram for the lead on lap two. Hopkins started to fall back as Blake Young and then, a few laps later, National Guard Suzuki rider Jake Zemke got by “Hopper” also. The first three then broke away and then Pegram showed his strength by just plain powering by Hayes on lap five while Hayden ran a patient third around the 21-turn, 2.36-mile speedway road course. Young ran impressively as he closed on teammate Hayden but the big change happened up front when, completely unexpectedly, Larry Pegram slid down as he ran back onto the front straight banking on the end of lap nine. He was able to get back up and after a trip to the pits for an inspection, he rejoined the race and completed fifty percent of the distance giving him three valuable points. Following Pegram’s off, Hayes was leading again with a slight gap to Hayden and Young. Zemke was running a lonely fourth while behind him a fierce battle was being waged by M4 Monster Energy Roadracingworld.com Suzuki rider Chris Ulrich, young Canadian Brett McCormick on the Celtic Racing Suzuki and Ben Bostrom on the Pat Clark Motorsports Yamaha. The three swapped places as fast as you could write it down and it was finally settled with Bostrom finishing sixth, McCormick seventh and Ulrich continuing his solid run of results in 2010 in eighth. Rounding out the top ten was Taylor Knapp on his RidersDiscount.com Suzuki in ninth and David Anthony on the Aussie Dave Racing Suzuki in tenth. Meanwhile, back up front, it was a three-man race and Hayden started to inch closer to Hayes pulling off a textbook pass at the start-finish line on lap 18 and riding right around Hayes, who could do nothing but watch Hayden put years of trying to rest as he pulled away for a well judged and well deserved first AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike victory. Blake Young made a run on Hayes but fell just short as he completed a strong one-three finish for Rockstar Makita Suzuki at the Suzuki sponsored event. Hayes took a solid second with Jake Zemke fourth. In victory lane AMA Pro Racing starter Bobby Lemming awarded Hayden with the checkered flag from the race in honor of his achievement. Hayden reflected after the race, “So many people have been asking me if this was going to be the weekend I finally won a race, and I have been asked this so many times it was starting to really get to me!” Hayden continued, “I have felt good this year, we were close to a couple of wins at Daytona and other than yesterday when I just didn’t run well in the windy conditions, I felt pretty good. Now I can just focus on racing and not worry anymore about when I’m going to win the first race.” Josh Hayes was pleased with his weekend too, “Yesterday I ran up front but I wasn’t sure I belonged up there, today I felt better but I started making a few mistakes at the end, the heat made a difference today and I started feeling it while I was leading.” All in all, another great weekend for National Guard American SuperBike. A popular first time winner in Tommy Hayden and two exciting events run under very different conditions. Aside from that, everyone felt bad for Aaron Yates and the Jordan team and many people throughout the sport had him in their thoughts as they reflected on the weekends events.

Next on the schedule for AMA Pro Road Racing is Road Atlanta, scheduled to be held April 16-18. Herrin Prevails in Daytona SportBike Duel with Eslick at Auto Club Speedway Once again, AMA Pro Daytona SportBike presented by AMSOIL provided one amazing afternoon of action-packed racing on the final day of the Suzuki SuperBike Challenge at Auto Club Speedway. The talented group of riders showcased just how close and competitive the class is, with the field being led off the line again by Danny Eslick and his No. 1 GEICO Powersports Suzuki under sunny skies and calm condition. Saturday race winner Martin Cardenas on his No. 36 M4 Monster Energy Suzuki, Josh Herrin aboard his No. 8 Team Graves Yamaha, Dane Westby riding his No. 2 Project 1 Atlanta Yamaha all were back up front, but today there were new names to add to the hustling pack at the front. Steve Rapp riding a fast No. 15 Team Latus Motors Racing Ducati and Bobby Fong with his No. 30 DNA Energy Drink CNR Motorsports Ducati were in the mix. Herrin’s No. 6 Team Graves Yamaha teammate, Tommy Aquino and Cory West also were part of the seven- to eight-bike freight train at the front of the field, West was riding his No. 57 Vesrah Suzuki once again. Eslick led a fighting pack of riders that ran inches apart as they all scrapped for any open real estate on the busy but testing 21-turn, 2.36-mile Auto Club Speedway infield road course. Herrin, Aquino, Rapp, Cardenas, West and Clinton Seller on the No. 4 Project 1 Atlanta Yamaha battled behind the leaders and it was Cardenas who once again fought his way up to the front. He rose as high as third and it looked like a three way battle for the win until a slight gap opened up between the battling Eslick and Herrin. Lap after lap, Herrin would just get Eslick at the start-finish line, only to have the order swap as the duo dove into turn one. At one point early on, the first seven were covered by around 1.9 seconds as the race ebbed and flowed. As Aquino dropped back, Rapp continued his good form and had a pretty good tussle with Cardenas, who looked like he was going to pull off another win today as he began to work his way back up to the front. Rapp then fell back at one point but didn’t take long to inch his way back to the front group to make it four riders with a real shot at victory. They were all going to have to beat an inspired Eslick, who rode his Suzuki like every lap was a qualifier. Herrin was giving no quarter as well as he continued to try Eslick on every time they both ran up onto the front banking of the speedway section. The first big change came when the unfortunate Martin Cardenas fell as he entered the front banking on lap 13, allowing Rapp to get up to third. Cardenas rejoined to finish tenth. Meanwhile, there was another battle going on between Aquino, West and Fong. They also swapped positions lap after lap with the rapidly improving Fong taking fifth ahead of Aquino and West. West’s Vesrah Suzuki teammate Chris Fillmore took eighth ahead of Seller, who finished about eight seconds in front of the disappointed Cardenas. Back up front it was down to Eslick, Herrin and Rapp. Going into the last lap, Eslick had his motorcycle every way but straight as he did everything to hold off Herrin, but it wasn’t to be and as Eslick led back onto the front straight banking on the final lap, Herrin calmly pulled out of the slipstream and passed him at the line to take the second win of the young season. Herrin commented after the win, “I think I was trying to lead the most laps of the race without actually leading, I was talking to (SPEED TV announcer) Greg White last night and I guess I’m a better race finisher and I just seem to save myself a little for the end. This win is nice, usually I have a lot of friends here and I never run well so it’s nice.” Eslick paid tribute to Herrin, “Every lap out there was like a qualifying lap, I was riding as hard as I could. It was great racing with Josh.” Rapp was also pleased with his finish, “We are a small team and the guys work really hard so this is great for Team Latus Racing.

After a wild, windy and exciting weekend of racing in California, the AMA Pro Road Racing Series heads to Road Atlanta, April 16-18 for the next round of the 2010 season. Pascarella Proves his Worth with Second Win in Race One at Auto Club Speedway Joey Pascarella took home every possible point from AMA Pro SuperSport competition at Auto Club Speedway during the Suzuki SuperBike Challenge, claiming pole position, leading every lap around the 21-turn, 2.36-mile speedway road course and winning both races under sunny California skies. AMA Pro SuperSport is a class for the rising stars of the future are able to develop their skills under the halo of the big AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike and Daytona SportBike presented by AMSOIL weekends. One rider showing that he is someone to watch for now and the future is double-weekend winner Pascarella and his LTD Racing Yamaha team, putting on another display of skill and speed today as he won his second SuperSport race of the weekend, and third of the season, in dominant fashion. After the winds of Saturday that delayed proceedings, Sunday was a picture perfect day for racing. Making a return to the field was Elena Myers and her Richie Morris Racing Roadracingworld.com Suzuki, feeling fine after her unfortunate coming together with Huntley Nash moments after the start of Saturday’s race. This time, the field got away clean and everyone made it down to turn one. It was after that when things again got interesting when Myers had a close call with Nash and was actually touched by Scott Gilbert who was enjoying a superb weekend after his second place finish yesterday on his Team Graves Yamaha. After the near miss, Nash on his LTD Racing Yamaha took up the chase of the quickly disappearing Pascarella with Gilbert in fourth, followed by a very fast starting Tyler O’Hara, a local Top Gun entry on his GP Bike parts Yamaha, Michael Corbino, another Top Gun entry riding the Aussie Dave Racing Yamaha and Eric Stump on his Rapidimage.com Honda. As Pascarella again checked out to another time zone, all eyes were on Gilbert as he got by Elena and set off after Nash to rejoin their battle of Saturday. Myers and O’Hara waged their own battle until the later stages of the race when Myers pulled away to finish a record-setting fourth place, the highest yet for a female rider in AMA Pro Road Racing competition. Meanwhile, Nash and Gilbert were having a sensational race, Nash getting sideways under braking lap after lap and Gilbert doing everything he could to get by. It was a contrast of styles and experience, as Nash hadn’t seen the track until this weekend while Gilbert has many laps at Auto Club Speedway and even suffered a season ending injury here in 2008. Making his comeback in a big way, Gilbert got by Nash out of the horseshoe only to have Nash get right back by at the next right-hand turn under hard braking. Gilbert passed Nash on more than one occasion but Nash got him back every time. On lap 14, the race had to be red flagged due to an unfortunate fall by Top Gun Lucas Oil Suzuki rider Chris Sromalla who, up to that point, had been having a pretty nice weekend. Sromalla was able to get safely out of harm’s way but, due to his motorcycle being on the race line in the fast turn one banking chicane area, it was decided in the interests of safety to red flag the race. With over eighty percent of the event completed, the race was declared officially complete. Pascarella, who was still in some discomfort from his mountain bike fall earlier in the week commented, “I just didn’t feel that great today. I felt comfortable this morning but for some reason I didn’t feel all that good in the race, I was making lots of mistakes.” Nash was very happy after the race, “I said yesterday that I didn’t have many laps here and today I felt that a lot better, I was riding smoother and I really had a good time today. The bike was sliding a lot, I bet it looked good on TV.” Gilbert also had fun, “The track was slicker today. It was not how I like it but it was fine, I just kept trying, I would pass Huntley but he was really good under braking and he got me back.” Behind O’Hara was Top Gun Charles Strong riding his Envia Yamaha in sixth, Eric Stump in seventh, Michael Corbino eighth, Robert Tinagero on his G&B CyclePro Yamaha in ninth and Chris Sromalla in tenth as he was classified after his fall. AMA Pro SuperSport heads to Road Atlanta for the next exciting round of this class for up and comers and if Joey Pascarella’s form is any indication, he is clearly already on his way up!

More, from a press release issued by Michael Jordan Motorsports: MICHAEL JORDAN MOTORSPORTS SCORES A DOUBLE PODIUM AT AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY FONTANA, CA (March 28, 2010) Michael Jordan Motorsports (MJM) scored a double podium and maintains the championship points lead after completing races three and four of the 2010 AMA Pro National Guard American Superbike Championship held at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA this weekend. National Guard Jordan Suzuki’s Jake Zemke scored a second place podium finish on Saturday and finished fourth in Sunday’s race. After a strong third place finish in Saturday’s race, Jordan Suzuki’s Aaron Yates crashed in the Sunday practice, sustaining a fracture to his lower right leg. During Saturday’s race, Zemke came up just short of the win at the line with a second place finish after leading 12 of the 21 laps. Zemke had started the wind-delayed race from the second row but was in the lead by turn three. On Sunday, Zemke struggled a bit from a poor start, ending up with a fourth place finish. Zemke leaves Fontana with an 11-point lead in the championship. “I got a great jump at the start of Saturday’s race and was able to get to the front after a few turns,” Zemke said. “Aaron and I mixed it up for about the first 10 laps or so. My bike was working great and I was feeling pretty good. (Larry) Pegram was able to get by me there near the end and I tried to catch him at the line but just came up short. It was great to be up on the podium with my teammate. The whole team did a great job. Today’s race was a different story for me. I didn’t get the jump at the start like I did on Saturday and that made it tough starting from the second row. I just wasn’t able to hook up with the front group, so I had to settle in for fourth. My crew did an awesome job once again and we learned a lot from this weekend so we’ll come back even stronger for Road Atlanta. It’s a bummer Aaron broke his leg it was a bizarre, unfortunate incident. I hope to see him back out here as soon as possible.” Jordan Suzuki’s Yates started out the weekend on a positive note by setting the fastest time in Friday’s first qualifying session, earning the pole since Saturday’s second session was cancelled due to the high winds. Yates was strong in Saturday’s race one, leading several laps and ending up on the box with a third place finish. Yates had already thrown down the fastest time in Sunday morning’s practice session when he crashed coming out of turn 10 and was run over by M4 Monster Suzuki’s Chris Ulrich. Ulrich was right behind Yates when he crashed and was unable to avoid the contact. Yates sustained a fracture to his right tibia and fibula and will require surgery later this week. The 2010 Michael Jordan Motorsports team’s next event will be at the Superbike Showdown at Road Atlanta in Braselton, GA on April 16-18, 2010.

More, from a press release issued by M4 Monster Energy Suzuki: TOP FIVE FOR JOHN HOPKINS AND TEAM M4 MONSTER ENERGY SUZUKI IN FONTANA Team M4 Monster Energy Suzuki fought hard on Sunday at Auto Club Speedway to come away with three more top ten finishes, led by John Hopkins’ gritty ride to fifth in the day’s AMA Pro American Superbike final. Despite suffering significant pain and having his physical performance hampered due to issues with his right wrist, the former MotoGP star put on a late-race charge aboard his GSX-R1000. He raced from several seconds back to close on fourth position but ultimately fell less than a half-second short in his bid for the spot. Hopkins said, “The adrenaline kicked in with five laps to go and I did everything I could to finish fourth. It was a tough weekend and not what we wanted, but going into this weekend I hadn’t actually finished a race since Donington last year in World Superbike, which was last summer. I only finished three races all of last year, so it’s nice to get a pair of finishes under my belt this weekend to be honest.” ‘Hopper’ will undergo surgery to repair his wrist on Monday. He explained, “I’ve ridden with it broken for a bunch of years and I’ve had a number of issues with it over that time. There’s so much scar tissue bound up inside that, while at the beginning of the weekend it’s alright, the bones contract and retract and the scar tissue gets in the middle of it and it just locks up as the weekend goes on, especially at tracks like this with the chicanes and everything. When I go down the straightaway, the way I have to use the throttle is by rolling my hand. “My bike was every bit good enough to be up front I felt it was definitely all me that was holding us back this weekend. I’m having minor surgery on it and they’re just going to clean the scar tissue out. It’s only a five-day recovery, so we should be perfect for the next race weekend at Road Atlanta.” Hopkins’ Team M4 Monster Energy Suzuki Superbike teammate, Chris Ulrich, picked up his third top-ten finish of the season, coming home in eighth following a tremendous three-way dogfight for sixth. While encouraged with another impressive result, the Californian claims there’s still more to come. Ulrich remarked, “It was a hard battle. We’ve made a substantial jump over the winter. I made one mistake and that came with five or six laps to go. Both the guys I was fighting with got by me and that mistake cost me. Otherwise, I think I could have kept them behind me, but it was a good run. Last year we had a hard time even staying in the draft of some of the guys we’re fighting for position with now. There are a few things I can improve on with the bike’s setting and with my racecraft, but we’re making big gains. We’ve already equaled as many top tens as we had all of last year, but with the level of guys we’re racing with this year, you can’t make even the smallest mistake or give them a centimeter. “We’ll roll to Atlanta and I’m positive. The guys in the engine shop in Athens, Alabama are giving us bikes with the fastest trap speeds, so that bodes well for some of these faster tracks that are coming up.” Daytona SportBike title hopeful Martin Cardenas was unable to repeat Saturday’s thrilling victory, crashing out of contention for the win on lap 14 of 21 while running a close third. The Colombian appeared to be in the midst of replicating yesterday’s ride, systematically working his way up from sixth early on to close right in on the leaders. Unfortunately, while biding his time to strike in the race’s final laps, he made a slight mistake, which was compounded when he hit a seam in the track, causing him to lose his GSX-R600’s front end. Cardenas managed to remount and reenter the fray, clawing his way to a top-ten result in the end. After finishing tenth, he said, “I was racing with the leaders and I got a little bit off line in the last turn. I touched the seam because I was a little bit off line and I lost the front tire. I tried to stand up as quick as I could and took a look at the bike to make sure it wasn’t leaking oil and I managed to finish tenth, but I’m very disappointed. “I wanted to win, of course, or at least be top three. I was right where I wanted to be; I was waiting until the end because with this heat I made sure to save the rear tire and was just waiting to really start fighting. I tried to save the tire until the last three laps, but unfortunately I crashed before that.” Team M4 Monster Energy Suzuki will next head to Road Atlanta in Braselton, GA on April 16-18 for Round 3 of the 2010 AMA Pro Road Racing Championships. More, from a press release issued by Auto Club Speedway: SUZUKI’S TOMMY HAYDEN RIDES TO FIRST SUPERBIKE CAREER VICTORY AT AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY ~ Herrin grabs SportBike win at finish; Pascarella sweeps weekend SuperSport class ~ San Bernardino County, Calif. (March 28, 2010) – The sun was shining brightly on a chamber of commerce type Sunday at Auto Club Speedway as Tommy Hayden, Josh Herrin and Joey Pascarella all brought home victories in the Suzuki AMA Pro SuperBike Challenge. Hayden, who finished a disappointing sixth in Saturday’s race, rode to his first career victory in Sunday’s AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike. Riding his Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki GSX-R1000, Hayden took advantage of Saturday’s winner and early race leader Larry Pegram’s unfortunate crash. The rest of the race he was fighting off second place finisher Josh Hayes. Hayden’s finishing time was 29:42.326 with a margin of victory over Hayes of 0.485 seconds. “It feels really good and a huge weight off my shoulders to get that out of my way (first win),” said Hayden. “I am feeling really good, especially after yesterday. I had a really disappointing day, and was pretty discouraged last night. The team made some changes, and I made some changes myself. I came out today and felt a lot better. The bike was working really good.” Runner-up on his Team Graves Yamaha YZF-R1 was Hayes, followed by Hayden’s teammate and third place finisher Blake Young on his Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki GSX-R1000. Herrin, who finished fourth in Saturday’s AMA Pro Daytona SportBike race, earned his win after trailing for all but the last few feet. Danny Eslick led the whole race as Herrin stalked him throughout the 2.36-mile, 21-turn road course at Auto Club Speedway. Herrin, on his Team Graves Yamaha YZF-R6, officially led nine of the 21 laps, but that was only because he made it to the finish line on those laps before Eslick. It wasn’t until the two came off the last turn that Herrin was able to reel in Eslick and gain the victory. The margin of victory was a mere 0.028 seconds, and the winning time was 30:46.574. “I was actually trying to have the most laps led by not really leading the race,” said Herrin. “I was able to see what I had on him for the last lap. The Yamaha definitely had the power over him. I want to thank my family and friends, and definitely the fans for coming out when yesterday was so windy and today is hot.” Rounding out the top three were Eslick on his GEICO Powersports/RMR/Suzuki GSX-R600 and Steve Rapp riding the Team Latus Motors Racing Ducati 848. The SuperSport class was again dominated by Pascarella on his Yamaha YZF-R6. After winning yesterday’s race, he led every lap of today’s 14-lap race, which was shortened from the regulation 17 laps due to a rider down in the race line. This caused the race to be red-flagged due it being more than 80% complete Pascarella’s winning time was 19:35.173. Running second was Huntley Nash on a Yamaha YZF-R6 and Scott Gilbert on a Yamaha YZF-R6. “It was a little greasy out there and I actually wasn’t feeling too comfortable,” said Pascarella. “I made a couple of mistakes out there halfway through and kept it together. I hoped no one caught the mistakes. I want to thank my whole team for getting the bike ready.” Top 10 results of Sunday’s races in all three classes show finishing position, name, motorcycle and time completed around the 2.36-mile, 21- turn road course: AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike: 1.
