The final AMA Superbike qualifying session for even-numbered machines was stopped within moments of starting at approximately 12:20 p.m. Eastern Time Friday due to rain at Daytona International Speedway.

According to local weather reports, a line of thunderstorms is currently passing just to the north of the Speedway, and heavy rain is falling on the Speedway itself. The Friday forecast called for an afternoon chance of thunderstorms.


The front row of the 62nd Daytona 200 By Arai AMA Superbike race was locked in during qualifying Thursday. Friday’s AMA Superbike qualifying sessions are supposed to set the remainder of the grid positions and allow the front-row qualifiers extra set-up time.
