From a press release issued by AMA Pro Racing:

– Pro Honda Oils Supersport will run 15 laps

– BMW Boxer Cup will run 13 laps (length unchanged)

– Chevy Trucks Superbike will run 57 laps (length unchanged)

– Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock will run 13 laps

Should any AMA Pro Racing-sanctioned support races be stopped in which 50% or more of the laps have been completed by the leader, the race will be considered complete and will not be restarted.

Should the Daytona 200 be stopped in which 80% or more of the laps have been completed by the leader, the race will be considered complete and will not be restarted. If the race is stopped after 50% of the laps have been completed but before 80%, the race may be considered complete at the discretion of the race manager.
