Several Parts Canada Superbike Championship teams are at Infineon Raceway for a final warm-up before their season begins in May but with one key rider missing.

Present during Thursday’s promoter practice were Coors Light Blackfoot Suzuki’s Craig Connell and Clint McBain, DXS Diablo Suzuki’s Steve Crevier and Jeff Williams and Honda Canada’s Andrew Nelson.

Honda Canada’s Jordan Szoke, a two-time Canadian Superbike Champion and former AMA regular, was not at Infineon Raceway Thursday and may not make it to the track due to trouble entering the United States, according to a crew member who asked to remain anonymous.

Neither Szoke nor Honda Canda Team Owner Alan Labrosse could be reached at post time.

Then riding for the Corona Extra Suzuki AMA team, Szoke ran into visa troubles while attempting to enter the United States in May of 2002 (during a period of increased border security, following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks) and had to finish that season in the Canadian series.

Szoke raced in the AMA event at Daytona International Speedway this past March.
