Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Hacking Retakes Points Lead in BirminghamBirmingham, Ala. May 3, 2009

Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking rode to his second podium finish of the weekend and took back the points lead during the second AMA Pro Daytona SportBike race of the weekend at Barber Motorsports Park.

Consistent finishes all weekend helped Hacking build a three-point advantage in the points standings. Teammate Roger Hayden pulled in early in the race, finishing 37th. The AMA Pro SuperSport class raced on a wet track with Leandro Mercado finishing just off the podium in fourth.

Roger Finishes Weekend

After a strong finish in Saturday’s race, Hayden was forced to come in during the opening laps. His windshield and helmet shield were covered with a substance and he didn’t feel comfortable continuing.

“My safety is a big issue for me here,” said Hayden. “After getting some liquid on the front of my bike, I didn’t want to risk my safety. I wasn’t sure what it was and I felt better not doing anything unwise.”
