McWilliams to ride at Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP Former MotoGP star Jeremy McWilliams will make a return to the MotoGP arena at the Red Bull Indianapolis GP Aug 16-18. The 2010 UK Harley-Davidson XR1200® Trophy Champion will race in the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200® series for the double header. McWilliams is no stranger to Harley-Davidson XR1200® racing. Riding for London-based Warr’s Harley-Davidson Racing, McWilliams took the inaugural title by a 41-point lead and chalked up seven pole positions en route. This led to an invite to enter the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200® at Barber 2010, where he rode for the Roadracingworld.com/HOG Racing team. McWilliams took the win in style, leading every lap of the race. McWilliams will return to the AMA/MotoGP paddock once again, riding for multi award-winning dealer, Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, Indiana with support from Warr’s Racing, having previously ridden for the team at the XR1200® round at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2011. Jeff Stevens, owner of Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle drag racer, four time AHDRA National champion, and team owner with many years of experience on the track. He is the 2010 H-D/Screamin’ Eagle V-Rod® Destroyer Champion. Being a racer himself he understands the demands of running at the front of the field. Stevens said, “Having Jeremy ride for Bloomington H-D in 2011 for the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200® races was such a pleasure and it’s great that our schedules have worked out so we can repeat this experience To be able to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and have McWilliams ride for us is truly a fantastic opportunity. Racing is an important part of H-D of Bloomington.” AMA Pro Racing’s newest class, which features intense competition on nearly identical Harley-Davidson XR1200® motorcycles, the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 series features handlebar-to-handlebar action that puts a premium on rider skill and strategy due to spec-based machinery. The AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200® division adds a fourth class of racing to the Red Bull Indianapolis GP weekend, as it joins the three world championship classes – MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc – competing on the 16-turn, 2.621-mile circuit that combines part of the famed IMS oval with an infield section. Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, Indiana would like to thank it’s partners, Vance & Hines, Warr’s Racing, Harley-Davidson, RoadracingWorld, Alpinestars, Dunlop, Rizoma, Warr’s Customs , SBS Scandinavian Brake System, MotoSpec, Claridon, Shark Helmets, Johnny’s Signs, Rich Hankins, Joe Stines, Hoosier Hills HOG, and French Lick Harley-Davidson.
