First of all, a local guy - Josh Day on the Team E.S.P. Yamaha - to the Daytona track took the pole position in the AMA Pro SuperSport National race. The race does not award points but it does award a number 1 plate for the nation. Any AMA SuperSport competitor is allowed to run and plenty of good racers from all over are in attendance. Sunday will see the race and that final championship for the 2009 AMA SuperSport season.

And, over in the Moto-GT series, Josh Hayes has decided to run a Westby Racing Yamaha R6 along with teammates Jeff Wood, Dane Westby and Dustin Meador. He was in town anyway to be with his wife, Melissa Paris, as she is set to compete at the Fall Cycle Scene Championship Cup Series - she has just returned from injury. Well, Hayes took pole for Sunday's race in the GT1 class. Martin Cardenas is right behind him on the Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki GSX-R600. Over in GT2 Barrett Long took the pole position on the KRM Racing by Motocorse Ducati PS1000LE after he was only asked to ride this morning!

Josh Herrin Takes a Trip to His Past for AMA Road Race Grand Champioships
He traveled to the event - which is cool in and of itself - and raced a Yamaha 450 4-stroke in the USGPRU 250GP race. He won in his class, but the main purpose was to go and have fun - mission accomplished! And, Herrin wasn't the only professional enjoying the track...
