Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Hacking Sneaks On To Podium with Last Lap PassSonoma, Calif. May 16, 2009
Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking made a spectacular last lap pass to finish second during a hot AMA Pro Daytona SportBike race at Infineon Raceway. Hacking’s run for his fifth podium of the season didn’t come easy as he had to make his way through the pack after a caution restart. Teammate Roger Hayden moved up and down in the running order, eventually finishing one spot better than his starting position in ninth.
Hayden's Run
With just two races weekends under his belt, Hayden came into his third weekend looking to improve on his time at Barber Motorsports Park. He was able to make it into Superpole where he qualified 10th. During the race, he worked his way back up from 12th to finish ninth during the hot race.
“I’m a little bummed with the result, but hopefully we can do better tomorrow,” said Hayden. “I felt good and didn’t think the heat was a factor, but I had a pretty big gap in between some riders and it was hard to move forward. I know we can change a few things so I can improve on my finish from today.”
