Daytona 200 Week: Dunlop Set Historic Benchmark At Daytona

Buffalo, NY: Daytona 2013, the opening AMA Pro Road Racing event of the year, ushered in a new era for Dunlop tires—a milestone that carries huge importance for racers and track-day riders all across the country. For the first time in the long and outstanding history of Dunlop’s achievements at Daytona, all Bikeweek 2013 road races were won on Dunlop race tires manufactured in Buffalo, NY. And Dunlop’s Buffalo-made slicks and DOT race tires are available not just to these pros, but to club racers and track-day riders as well through Race Tire Services (www.dunlopracing.com). Daytona 2013 also marked the first time in history that a Superbike victory took place on Buffalo-made racing slicks rather than slicks made in the UK, and that success was repeated in the second Superbike race. Furthermore, all Daytona SportBike, SuperSport and Harley-Davidson-class races were won on Buffalo-produced DOT-approved Sportmax® D211™ GP-A race tires. On the podium following his Superbike victory, Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing’s—and Dunlop-sponsored—Martin Cardenas said, “A big thanks to Dunlop. It’s the first time that we raced here at Daytona on the US-made rear tire…. So a big congratulations to them. They made very good tires and I’m happy to ride on them.” Dunlop extends its thanks and congratulations to all racers participating at Daytona, with special recognition going out to all six race winners: Superbike victors Josh Herrin and Martin Cardenas; Daytona 200 winner Cameron Beaubier; Supersport winners Stefano Mesa and Tomas Puerta; and Harley-Davidson-class winner Tyler O’Hara. All racers and track-day participants can purchase Buffalo-made race tires through Race Tire Service at 800-772-TIRE (800-772-8473).
