Former Superbike World Champion Scott Russell returned to a road racing track on Friday when he rode one of brother-in-law Mike Smith’s 600cc back-up bikes during practice for a WERA Regional weekend at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway, according to his sister. Reached by phone at Talladega, Suzzie Smith said that Russell ran at a 1:00 pace. Suzzie Smith also said that Mike Smith set a new track record for Talladega GPR today, winning the A Superstock race with a last-lap pass on Robert Jensen. Russell said at Daytona last month that he is unable to participate in professional motorcycle races under terms of a Lloyds of London disability insurance settlement he received for career-ending injuries several years ago.
