Birmingham, AL - June 22, 2014 – Tying the consecutive SuperBike wins record at Barber Motorsports Park wasn’t even remotely on three-time AMA Pro SuperBike Champion Josh Hayes’ mind during Sunday’s SuperBike Race 2, but his dominant victory not only tied the record at Barber, but it also marked the third year in a row that Josh notched the double win at the 2.38-mile, 14-turn Alabama road course.
“It was a lot different race than how I expected it to play out,” Josh commented after his record-tying win. “I was able to get a good start and work on stretching out a lead, so the last few laps were pretty smooth. My conditioning was important this weekend with the hot temperatures and high humidity, and I’m glad that I put in all those miles on my bicycle between race weekends because it really helps. My Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha crew always gives me a great R1 that performs flawlessly, so hats off to them.”

Birmingham, AL (June 22, 2014) - Yamalube/Westby Racing’s Dane Westby emerged victorious again on Sunday. The Tulsa, Oklahoma, native staged an unlikely charge through the pack to earn a second win of the weekend to sweep AMA Pro Daytona SportBike at Barber Motorsports Park. Dane moved from sixth to the front, picking off one rider at a time in the Turn 14, 15, and 16 section and setting the race’s quick laps in the process. After the checkered flag, Westby found himself hoisting another trophy.

“Yesterday was a first for me when I led the race and won it that way. Today, I felt like these guys had a leg up on me,” said Westby. “I wasn’t quite as comfortable as I wanted to be early on. I was a little slow in some parts of the track but I was really good in the ‘Alabama Rollercoaster,’ as they call it. It was a real barnburner of a race, super hot out there and the conditions were tough. I put my head down and waited until my moment. I passed everyone back there in the back, just a block pass and then making it stick. I had some different lines where I could hold it until the end and earn the position. It was a really great race, and I am proud of what we were able to accomplish.”
