Reader Shalonda Daniels pointed out in an e-mail that a press release issued by Daytona International Speedway yesterday (see 2/27/2003, Pre-packaged Daytona Quotes) quoted and described Mat Mladin as follows:
“… We’ll see what happens.” – two-time Daytona 200 By Arai champion Mat Mladin, rider of the No. 1 Yoshimura Suzuki.
To which Ms. Daniels asks, “No. 1? Doesn’t he wish!”
Of course, three-time AMA Superbike Champion was dethroned by Nicky Hayden in 2002; Mladin is actually running #66 in 2003, and the reference was a mistake made by the Daytona PR staff.
Roadracingworld.com publishes press releases as received, labels them as being press releases, and does not correct errors in them.
This just in, from Mat Mladin himself, via e-mail:
Tell Ms. Daniels they are keeping it warm for me.
