Davie Stone: Did you try to get TV time (by racing the leaders as you were lapped)? Johnny Rock Page: Absolutely not. I was racing as hard as I could. I was in 20th position and in the money. When I saw the blue flag I knew someone was coming. Just not when they were coming. In the section that I was going into there was only one line. When I did have the opportunity to swing out wide Hayes went under me and there was no one else sticking a wheel in, so I went back in line to complete the hard left corner and next corner. DS: It looked like you were trying to hang with Hayes. JRP: Hayes was not faster than me by much going through the turns. Only in the straights. Once out of the turns Yates passed me and Hayes gapped me. DS: Did you pre-meditate being set up with a microphone, etc. when you showed up at tech? JRP: Absolutely not. Once in the pits we always mic me up and they start the cameras rolling. I was excited that I finished in the money and we wanted to get it on film along with the fans. I had no idea that I was in trouble. DS: Why was your bike in the tech garage? JRP: They impounded it and kept me in the garage for almost two hours. DS: People are thinking that you pre-meditated the camera and confrontation. JRP: Absolutely not. We always have the camera rolling and I was talking to fans with the camera on me when I was hauled off to tech. We just kept it rolling. DS: What happen before the youtube video? Was there more to the story and did you do something that pissed-off Al? JRP: That is the beginning of the confrontation with Al. It surprised the hell out of me and I wish that I would have said more. But I was shocked and along with the threats scared for my future in AMA racing.
