Nate Kern (BMW HP2 Sport), Pirelli, DNS More, from a press release issued by AMA Pro Racing: Daytona Beach, Fla.–Honda Racing’s Miguel Duhamel was black-flagged during the running of the Daytona 200 for entering the pits at the completion of the first lap and changing to his back up motorcycle in violation of AMA rules. The rule states that, in a red flag condition, a rider who was present at the starting grid but was unable to start or dropped out after the start, is permitted to restart on a back-up motorcycle until three laps have been officially completed (leader has crossed the finish line to begin the third lap), and when the rider has obtained permission from the Chief Steward or Race Manager. At the time that Duhamel changed motorcycles, an AMA race official, who is not the AMA Chief Steward or the Race Manager, was asked by the Honda team if there was time for the bike swap and the race official incorrectly indicated that there was time. Riders and crew chiefs acknowledge that they have read and understand the rules as a condition of AMA competition. “After an exhaustive review, it became clear that the conditions stated in the rules that permit a bike change were not present,” said Keith Kizer, the AMA’s senior director of racing. “We apologize to Duhamel and the Honda Racing team for allowing him to continue racing but we wanted to provide Duhamel any benefit of the doubt before issuing the black flag.” The AMA rules that apply in this situation are copied below: 7.8 Motorcycle Usage Riders must start and complete any race on the same motorcycle (same main frame) except where a back-up motorcycle may be used under certain red flag conditions. See Procedures for Red Flag Stops and Restarts. 7.22 Back-up Motorcycles a. Back-up motorcycles are permitted in all classes. b. If more than one motorcycle is to be presented for initial tech inspection they will be numbered, on the triple clamp and easily visible, with a “1” or “2” to identify each motorcycle. c. When a race is restarted following a red flag, a rider who was present at the starting grid, but was unable to start or dropped out after the start, is permitted to restart on a back-up motorcycle until two laps have been officially completed (leader has crossed the finish line to begin the third lap), using the following procedure: 1. Rider must obtain permission from the Chief Steward or Race Manager. 2. All back-up motorcycles must be staged on pit lane or in a designated area and identified to grid officials. 3. Rider will be grid on the last row of the restart grid in a position determined by scoring. 4. Riders who are present at the grid but are unable to start may join the race from the pit road/grid until the time the race leader completes the first lap. d. Tire warmers are permitted on backup bikes provided they are unplugged from the start of the sighting lap to the start of the race. More, from a press release issued by Daytona International Speedway: Erion Honda’s Josh Hayes Wins Daytona 200 By Honda DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Erion Honda rider Josh Hayes had perfect pit stops and avoided mishaps aboard his No. 1 Erion Honda on his way to winning the 67th Daytona 200 By Honda AMA Formula Xtreme Series race on Saturday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway. Rounding out the podium was Attack Kawasaki’s Chaz Davies and Steve Rapp, the 2007 Daytona 200 By Honda winner. The margin of victory for Hayes over Davies was 32.762 seconds. He led a race-high 53 laps. “My race just couldn’t have gone better,” said the 32-year-old Hayes of Gulfport, Miss. “I had the best team. I had the best crew. I had the best motorcycle. I definitely had the best tires. “On the 23rd and 24th laps of my stints I was able to put down some good times to try to drive the nail in the coffin on those guys. To have two No. 1 plates,­ it’s about time we finally got one of these. I’m pretty stoked about it.” Hayes, whose previous best result in the Daytona 200 By Honda was a second in 2006, delivered Honda its 12th Daytona 200 By Honda win. In the opening round of the AMA Superbike championship, six-time Superbike champion Mat Mladin led all 15 laps on his way to a 3.368-second victory over his Suzuki teammate Ben Spies. Rounding out the top five were Pegram’s Racing Larry Pegram and M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Martin Cardenas More, from a press release issued by BMW Motorrad Motorsport News: AMA Formula Xtreme 67th Daytona 200 Saturday March 8th, 2008 Conditions: Dry, sunny, very windy SENSATIONAL BMW DUO IN TOP SEVEN! Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport riders Richard Cooper and Brian Parriott finished a sensational sixth and seventh respectively in the Formula Xtreme Daytona 200 today. Both riders had heart-stopping moments on the opening lap, with Parriott crashing, but both brushed aside the difficulties and carried on to record impressive finishes. Rico Penzkofer was hit from behind on the opening lap and crashed, almost taking out team mate Cooper in the process. He suffered heavy bruising and was unable to remount his bike and continue. Nate Kern had crashed in the morning warm-up and injured his right hand, but decided to try and start the race. But on the opening lap, he couldn’t feel the throttle so he was forced to pull out. Current Formula Xtreme champion Joshua Hayes (Honda) won the 69 lap race, with Chaz Davies (Kawasaki) second and Steve Rapp (Kawasaki) third. Richard Cooper – 6th I can’t tell you how surprised, but happy I am over this result. This is my fourth time at Daytona and every time before I’ve had some misfortune or other. On the first lap, I nearly hit Rico, when he was nudged from behind. I managed to brake hard and just missed him, but it was pretty close! After that the race settled down and I had no problems whatsoever. I knew that a top fifteen finish was the goal, but I was thinking more of a top ten result. So to get sixth is amazing and particularly as this place is so special for me. The pit-stops were perfect and the bike was a dream and that’s down to all the hard work the team put in. Brian Parriot – 7th That was a pretty eventful race for me, starting with the crash on lap one! I think it was because the tyres might have not been warm enough, because I lost the back end without warning and was thrown up into the air and onto the windscreen, before falling. I went over to the bike, made sure all the levers were OK and started off again. I suppose I was a bit lucky, because a bit later on the course car came out and I was able to recover some of the ground I’d lost. The rest of the race was good and throughout it I felt I learnt more and more about the bike and got more and more comfortable. In fact, I felt that the bike was better then it had been all week. There were a couple of ‘close moments’ during the race, but pretty much normal stuff anyway. My ribs were a sore after the race, but I’m completely satisfied with the result today. Before the race, I believed that a top ten was definitely possible, because I had looked at last year’s race and the lap time, so I had an idea of how we would do. But to get seventh is a tremendous result and a just reward for all the hard work the team have put in. Nate Kern – DNF Of course I am disappointed because I felt I could’ve got a good result here today. I crashed in the morning warm-up and badly hurt my right hand. I don’t think I broke anything, but it was really sore. I decided to try to make the start and see how it felt, but once I got off the line and went through a couple of turns, I realised that I couldn’t feel the throttle at all! So, for the safety of everybody, I pulled in. Congratulations to Richard and Brian though for doing such a good job and sorry to all my mechanics after all the effort they made this week. Rico Penzkofer – DNF I am very disappointed with the crash. I think I was bumped from behind – there are marks on my tailpiece – and I couldn’t control the bike and fell. That was that for me and I was pretty angry because we’ve put in so much good work this week and it would’ve been great to bring the bike home and get another strong finish for the team. Berti Hauser (Director of BMW Motorrad Motorsport) At the moment I feel the result is bit of a dream. To get two riders in the top ten in such a famous race is a big achievement indeed. Sixth and seventh are fantastic results for us and a testament to our great team and their never say die attitude. They work so hard and they all work for each other. Richard used great strategy and thoroughly earned his result and I’m proud of the way he conducted his race today. Brian crashed in the beginning, but showed his fighting spirit and made a super result. Rico’s crash was not his fault, because he was hit from behind, and I know he’s sorry that he couldn’t finish the race. Nate tried his best to start the race, but he knew that his hand wasn’t up to it and he made the right decision to pull out. The bikes ran like a Swiss watches (or Bavarian bikes) today and we learned a lot because the procedure for the Daytona 200 is nothing like an Endurance race. The team adapted to this superbly and we want to dedicate our success today to Thomas Hinterreiter. More, from a press release issued by Pirelli: Pirelli Sweeps Daytona 200 from Second to Fifth Rome, Georgia: Pirelli riders pulled off a nearly perfectly dominating finish, taking all of the top-five places in the 67th Daytona 200, except one. Attack Kawasaki’s Chaz Davies rode his ZX-6R to second place with teammate, and last year’s winner of the Daytona 200, Steve Rapp taking third. Next in line in the AMA Formula Xtreme class that competes in the Daytona 200 were Pegram Racing’s Larry Pegram on a Ducati 848 in fourth, and Martin Cardenas in fifth on an M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R600. Overall winner was Josh Hayes. Davies said, “One thing I tried working on this year was exiting the pits. I watched video of last year’s race and saw that I wasn’t being aggressive enough there so I made sure to run faster through the long pit exit. During the race it’s hard to figure out exactly where you are with the other riders around you, so it’s hard to plan ahead. Finishing second is great for us and a good way to start the season.” Rapp, second-place finisher in the 2007 FX championship, said, “We had a new team but everything went quite well, except for a miscue with one of our pit stops when I was sent back out. I still got on the podium again so that’s the main thing. The tires are even better than last year so the season looks good.” Pegram said, “We considered whether or not we could do the race in one stop. Fortunately, the team called me in and the bike was running out so I’m glad we did that or we wouldn’t have made it. I couldn’t ask for anything better really than our fourth-place finish.” Adding to Pirelli’s sweep of second through fifth, with its Diablo Superbike Slicks in the Daytona 200, was Brian Marriott’s stunning ride to seventh place. Riding a BMW HP2 Sport for BMW AG/Mersoleil Wine/San Jose BMW, Parriott moved forward from his 33rd starting position on the inside of row nine of the grid, getting by 26 bikes on his way to the front. In the AMA Superbike race run late in the day due to early morning winds, Pirelli rider Blake Young finished first amongst riders on Superstock-spec bikes, taking ninth overall for the M4 EMGO Suzuki team. Ninth also put Young in front of some factory Superbike riders. Rounding out the top 15 was Chris Ulrich, again this week showing the consistency of his performance at the top end of the results sheets. Pirelli heads to the next race at Barber Motorsports Park with three podium finishes under its laurels for the 2008 season after just one event. More, from a press release issued by Build Momentum: LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Takes Fourth in Daytona 200 Larry Pegram and the New Ducati 848 Deliver in The Bike’s Inaugural Race Daytona, FL (March 8, 2008) – Larry Pegram of the LeoVince Foremost Insurance Team rode a phenomenal race on the new Ducati 848 in the 67th Annual Daytona 200. After a small tire issue on lap four, Pegram rode an amazing 65 laps to finish fourth in the 69 lap race. The Ducati rider even led the race at one point. Pegram started the race on the third row after qualifying in tenth with a 1:41.003. This is the second year that Larry Pegram, as team owner, is running the Ducati team and racing for Ducati North America. Last season Larry was on the podium three times with a modified Ducati 749 and close to making the podium two in two other races. In 2007, Pegram finished 24th in the Daytona 200 due to an odd mishap where his front tire collected carbon fiber from the front fender while compressing in turn one. The carbon fiber made the tire slick and forced Pegram to slow his pace to keep from falling. The team was forced to pit numerous times to try and resolve the problem, but were unable to determine the cause until after the race. “The Daytona 200 is a race that leaves little room for error, yet lots of things can go wrong. I couldn’t be happier with my finish on the brand new Ducati 848. The bike performed extremely well given that we were pressed for time preparing for the race and were not able to get all the development and testing completed that we wanted to,” commented Larry. “This year started out with our sponsors stepping up support for the team, which is always nice. Now finishing in the top five at Daytona just confirms what I thought – we have a team that is going to be fighting for the championship. The new 848 is a bike I can win on. We are in great shape coming out of Daytona in fourth place. Barber Motorsports is a track that will play to the nimble handling of the 848. I am looking forward to that race,” added Larry. Pegram’s next race is at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama on April 19, 2008. More, from a press release issued by Honda: Honda Wins Daytona 200 Erion Honda’s Josh Hayes began the season in spectacular fashion, becoming the 12th Honda rider to win the prestigious Daytona 200, his first Daytona win coming on a cold, windy, and sunny afternoon at Daytona International Speedway. The reigning Formula Xtreme champion, his teammate Jake Zemke, and American Honda’s Neil Hodgson led all but one of the 69 laps of the 2.9-mile road course. But it was Hayes who carried most of the load. From their second row starting positions, Hayes and Zemke quickly set the pace, distancing themselves from the rest of the 67-rider field. The lead went back and forth through the 24th lap, when the first round of pit stops began. Hayes’ stop went flawlessly and he was back in the lead on lap 28, and led every lap but one to the checkered flag. Said Hayes, “This is huge. This is a great way to start the season. Unfortunately, I kind of wish Neil (Hodgson) had gotten another Honda between me and these guys to give me a little room going into the next round. But I’m starting off better than I did last year, and I was able to win the championship.” Zemke had an unfortunate problem with his rear sprocket, and lost valuable time in the pits. He finished 13th. In his first ever race on a 600, Hodgson was running in a strong second place. But late in the race gremlins struck. First, he ran off the track in the chicane, but recovered without losing his second position. Then he had a mechanical problem that knocked him out of second place on the 64th of 69 laps. Teammate Miguel Duhamel burnt his clutch at the start of the race, then pitted at the end of the opening lap to swap to his spare Honda CBR600RR, after being given the OK by race officials. The officials were mistaken-the rules don’t allow a change of machinery without a red flag-but Duhamel rejoined the race in last place and made up over 60 positions before he was black flagged less than 12 laps from the end. Hodgson finished seventh in his Superbike debut, after an eventful race of his own. Hodgson ran off the track at one point, but recovered and took his final position on the last of 15 laps. Duhamel crashed in the Superbike race, remounted, and finished 12th. The Superbike race was won by Mat Mladin (Suzuki) from teammate Ben Spies. Josh Hayes, 1st Formula Xtreme “The race actually, for us, I think the biggest thing is it went exactly to plan. Our pit stops were good. I ran the pace that we knew we’d be able to run, and we were hoping that that would put pressure on everybody else. Jake (Zemke) and I were working together really well early on in the race. At some point, I think with a little bit of help from some traffic, I got a small gap. I remember seeing +2 on my board, and I said “Man, this is where I’ve got to start trying to drive the nail in,” and I just started putting the best laps I could together and trying to get a small gap and work it out and work it out. It kept stretching a little bit. Like I said, I had the race that my team planned to have. Everything went to plan. We showed up with a good motorcycle that ran the whole race. My Dunlops were amazing. ” Neil Hodgson, DNF, Formula Xtreme “I’d no rhythm at all at first. It was my first 600 race and there’s the wind and the track’s not in great condition, because they’ve had obviously had all the rain. It was the same for everyone, but I just didn’t feel too good. And unfortunately I had to run my number three engine, because my number one engine we put in the bike that I crashed. It all looked OK, tried it for the warm-up and it wasn’t running properly. And that engine was quite a bit faster. It’s a bit frustrating because then I had to run my number three engine that we’d already done quite a lot of laps on. And in the end the bike didn’t do 69 laps. And then that middle section was really going pretty good until I ran off the track going into the chicane. I thought I’d be down in 20th and I got back on and it’s still saying P2. Just kept my head down and worked as hard as I could and then I were about 17 seconds behind Josh (Hayes) and I’m sure he was just cruising around the last laps, so I just thought well I’ve got to keep my head down and keep pushing, because you never know in this race, do you? The pace car comes out or something and then my clutch just went. I went into turn six, hit the brakes, got a false neutral and my clutch just went completely. I thought what’s happened, I’ve no clutch. So I carried on riding the rest of that lap and then got onto the banking and the bike just stopped. That were that.” Miguel Duhamel, DNF, Formula Xtreme “The bike seemed fine until I got out of the infield and got on the power on the back straight and the clutch started slipping. I guess I overdid it on the start, which would be the first time in my career that every happened. It definitely seemed to be my fault, so I’ll take 100% of the blame. I think the bike was fine, I think everything else was fine. I just pushed it a little bit too much to get the holeshot. I came in because the bike wasn’t going to last, there’s no way, the clutch was slipping and I was trying to ride it easy to see if it like grabbing again, maybe there was something wrong with it. I came in and the boys told me that I could get back out because it was less than three laps, it was at the beginning at the start of the race. And I questioned that in the riders meeting and they said that yeah, you could, and I guess they weren’t being specific, saying that you need a red flag. Which being Daytona, there’s no red flags, there’s only pace cars. I guess it would be no possibility of getting back in the race.” Miguel Duhamel, Superbike, DNF “I got a good start and, you know, just hanging in there. Obviously the bike set-up wasn’t”¦we just ran out of time, didn’t get quite get what we wanted out of it. My plan was just to stay in the top ten, not do anything too spectacular. Going in there on the front brake, I don’t know if the tail wind was a little bit more for me that time or mistimed it and just tucked the front. I didn’t feel like I was pushing it that hard, but obviously I was. I leaned over and the front end just tucked and I just couldn’t believe because my thought was, OK, let’s just follow these guys and see what happens and tire wear and racing and lapped riders and see how it turns out. maybe we’ll be able to get top five, but I was more realistic in saying top ten. It’s probably the worst Daytona weekend I’ve had or at least it ranks up there.” Neil Hodgson, 7th, Superbike “I was actually pleased with the Superbike to be honest, because I really struggled all weekend. It’s been a bit embarrassing to be honest. I feel I’ve not rode to my potential on the Superbike. But I find it actually difficult jumping from one bike to the next. And trying to concentrate, because it’s always back to back. The racing wasn’t too bad. I’m still working on traction control and everything like that and I think I got too much on at one stage and I was messing with it during the race. I could only make my time up on the brakes and again going into turn six, I was in a bit of a dice, and I hit the brakes, lost the front and I were a passenger. Nothing I could do. Tried to stay on the track as long as I could and then ran off the track. But then I was quite pleased with myself because I really kept my head down and managed just to get Roger (Hayden) at the end.” American Honda Road Race Manager Ron Heben “It kind of looked like it was going to be a two way battle with Neil and Josh and obviously with Josh being the Formula Extreme champion, he did what he does best which is why he’s champion. Neil kind of got him in his sights, starting to close in, and kind of had a miscue and run off the track. We still were looking at a strong one-two finish which is always very positive for the 200, but later in the race Neil ended up having more off-track issues and that ended up with a mechanical that put him out of the race. It’s a good thing that we’re not racing that series and Josh is, because winning the first race is great for the Erion team with Dunlop tires. They did a phenomenal job and we’re real proud of what they’ve done and Jake (Zemke) came back real good too, for the little bit of the issue he had. “As far as the superbike, I think everyone knows we’ve got brand new bike and we’re trying to do the best we can to sort it out and we made some headway this morning’s practice, but the conditions were so different than anything we’ve experienced with the wind and the wetness on the track, so we kind of had to roll the dice a little bit. And with Neil and Miguel both starting on the third row, it makes it a tough nut to crack to put it on the box. ” Formula Xtreme: 1. Josh Hayes (Honda) 2. Chaz Davies (Kawasaki) 3.
