At the end of a crazy, incident-packed, red-flag-interrupted AMA Supersport race Sunday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Graves Yamaha’s 17-year-old Josh Herrin had won the first race of his career, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Roger Hayden had won the AMA Supersport Championship and Erion Honda’s Josh Hayes was being transported to a local hospital. Hayes was battling with Hayden’s teammate Jamie Hacking in the first portion of the race when the two appeared to touch and Hayes got off line and out of shape entering Turn Six, ran wide and off the track and suffered a nasty crash. Hayes, who was already racing with two broken feet, was not seen getting up from his fall. According to Laguna Seca’s Ed Nicholls, Hayes was awake and alert and transported to Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. In the restart, Herrin, who had slowed in the first portion of the race after a collision with Hacking knocked his front brake lever out of position, got out in front and stayed out in front to take the win. Hacking finished second and Hayden survived some tense moments to finish fifth, but that was more than enough for Hayden to take the title by three points over Hacking. 2007 Pro Honda Oils AMA Supersport Championship Presented by Shoei Helmets Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Monterey, California September 16, 2007 Provisional Race Results: 1.

Riding his Lee’s Cycle-prepped, Dunlop-shod Suzuki GSX-R1000, Toye took his eighth win in nine starts this season in the 12-lap feature event. Second was World Superbike regular Jakub “Kuba” Smrz, who was at Willow Springs to race the Toyota 200 the following day. Smrz, riding a Suzuki GSX-R1000 for Vincent Haskovic’s Czecher Hypercycle squad, finished ahead of Jason Curtis on the No Limit Motorsports, NLA-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R1000. Jeff Stern, Karl Lowry and Chris Duran rounded out the top six. Curtis took a second in the Open Superbike race, following Jason Perez to the line, with Chris Duran finishing third. Duran also took the Open Modified Production win over Robbie Dowie and Tyler Paulson. Another of the Czecher Wrecking crew, World Supersport regular Pawel Szkopek, came from the back of the 25-rider deep 600 Modified Production race to take the win over Bradley Adams and Ryan Regalado. Full results to follow.

Jordan Suzuki’s Jake Holden got the first race win of his AMA career even though he crashed out of the lead during the Superstock event Sunday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Holden was leading on lap 12 of 17 when he crashed exiting Turn Six. The race was immediately stopped with the red flag, and a four-lap restart was called for. During the clean-up, however, it was found that Holden had crashed in oil from another rider’s blown engine. The clean-up of the oil took longer than expected, and officials called the race complete. Officials then ruled that Holden’s crash was not the cause of the red flag, and he was credited with the win over his teammate Aaron Yates and Graves Yamaha’s Ben Bostrom. 2007 AMA Superstock Championship Presented by Dynojet Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Monterey, California September 16, 2007 Provisional Race Results: 1.

The PRAMAC-D’ANTIN Team has reached an agreement with Sylvain Guintoli to contest the 2008 MotoGP World Championship together. The young French rider, 25 years old and hailing from Montelimar, will be an important part in the formation of the Italo-Spanish Team, and will ride the Ducati Desmosidici GP8 next season. Guintoli’s sporting history began in 2000, where he rode in the Gran Prix of Le Mans. The following year saw him challenge an entire season where he had some hopeful results and finished the season in 14th position – something that hinted at his future potential. In 2003, Guintoli then began as a test rider for the Tech 3 MotoGP team, where he matured as a rider and continued to augment his impressive base skills. His style has grown even further, and should be excellently suited for the 800cc bikes, which emphasize a rider’s ability to be brave, aggressive, and fast.
