Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Hacking Rebounds for Podium at Mid-Ohio

Lexington, Ohio – Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking returned to the podium at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with a hard-fought race that saw him move back and forth amongst the podium positions, eventually finishing as the runner-up. Hayden brushed off the bad luck he’s recently had, putting in a great race to finish fifth.

Leaving Saturday’s race behind him, Hayden worked his way up from his sixth-place starting position to eventually finish in the top-five. He led the mid-pack of riders just about the entire race and was happy to finish with a good result.

“I knew from my lap timer that I was going pretty quick,” said Hayden. “I was really trying to reel in the front guys, but about halfway through they started pulling away. Fifth isn’t bad. The bike felt a lot better and we are moving in the right direction. We have another test this week so we have a chance to improve even more. The team’s working really hard and overall I’m happy with today’s results.”

Mustache Superstition

After not finishing the last two races because of bike issues, Hayden decided to try another tactic to improve his results. He shaved off his attention-getting mustache and went after some great results. It must have worked because he finished in the top five.
