Hayden Brothers Look for Victory at Infineon Raceway This Weekend SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELESAE) “” Tommy and Roger Lee Hayden took Kawasaki to the top of the charts on the AMA Pro Honda Oils Supersport circuit in 2004, and the dynamic duo is ready for a repeat performance this season. The brothers from Owensboro, Ky., placed one-two in the points chase, with Tommy capturing his first-ever AMA championship. Tommy had a magical year in Pro Honda Oils Supersport, posting four victories, including three in a row at Pikes Peak, Road America and Brainerd. Younger brother Roger Lee, meanwhile, placed second in points with four victories, as well. Like Tommy, Roger Lee had three consecutive wins at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta. It added up to a stout season for Kawasaki, which dominated the Supersport class. Roger and Tommy Lee also placed third and sixth overall, respectively, in Repsol Lubricants Superstock. The beat has continued in 2005 thus far, as Tommy is second in points in Supersport after three events, including a win at Daytona. He is also fourth in Superstock. Roger Lee, meanwhile, is seventh in Supersport and 14th in Superstock. The Hayden brothers look to continue their success this weekend (May 13-15) at the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown at Infineon Raceway, presented by Supercuts. “It was a good year for me (in 2004) but I want to move up a little more and win a championship. That’s always the goal,” Roger Lee said. “There are a lot of good guys out there but hopefully I can get to the top.” Tommy placed third in Supersport and fourth in Superstock a year ago at Infineon Raceway, while Roger Lee was sixth (Supersport) and 11th (Superstock). It’s a technically challenging course, which should bode well for Kawasaki; Tommy won the 2003 Superstock title at Infineon Raceway. “This should be a good track for Kawasaki and I think it will be,” Tommy said. “We’re really looking forward to coming back out there again.” Overall, there will be racing in four divisions over the weekend “” Superbike, Supersport, Superstock and Lockhart-Phillips USA Formula Xtreme “” which should provide for an action-packed weekend.
