54 IS SHAW’S MAGIC NUMBER IN DAYTONA 200

In preparation for a future 2nd edition of Don Emde’s book: “The Daytona 200. The History of America’s Premier Motorcycle Race,” we’ve updated our database and guess what we found?

Rick Shaw is now only 192 miles behind Warren Sherwood as the all-time mileage leader in Daytona 200 events. Sherwood, who raced in the Daytona 200 from 1950 to 1971, amassed a total of 3,187 miles in his career. Shaw, after the 2001 race, now sits with 2,995 miles and will pass Sherwood when he completes 54 more laps.

As the race currently run 56 laps, Shaw could break the record this year.

Stay tuned.
