Danny Eslick wins the 2011 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike Championship at AMA Pro Road Racing Championship Weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park!
From AMA Website
The fast and furious number-crunching that followed today’s AMA Pro Daytona SportBike race was nothing compared to the class’ on-track action, but at the end of both the ultimate victor was revealed: GEICO Powersports RMR Suzuki’s Danny Eslick has clenched the 2011 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike Championship. Eslick – who adds this year’s crown to the class title he earned in 2009 – dedicated the championship to recently departed race legend Gary Nixon.
“It hasn’t set in yet,” said Eslick, grinning. “At first I didn’t think we were far enough up there to get the job done. When I came in I saw my team looking around, then we looked at an official and they gave me the checkered flag, and then it started kicking in a little bit. It was an awesome race; I don’t know how many lead changes -- a bunch, probably more than any other race this year. There were seven or eight of us for a while going back and forth … it was pretty spectacular. It’s nice to get it done with a race to go, and we’ll go out and give it a heck of a shot tomorrow, too.”
Congratulations Danny!
