Sonoma, CA - Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jamie Hacking took the runner-up position in the AMA Supersport race at Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., with teammate Roger Hayden finishing a spot behind to round out the podium in third.
After setting a new track record and capturing the pole position on Saturday on his Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-6R, Hacking was in great position to pull off the win on day two in Sonoma. He was running out front for nearly four complete laps after passing teammate Hayden, but was then passed by Joshua Hayes who held the first position till lap 16. On that lap, Hacking retaliated and made his move back into the lead.
Unfortunately, shortly after advancing into the lead a red flag went out and the race was brought to a stop. A decision was made by AMA Racing officials to take the racing order on the track back to the last full lap prior to the red flag, which dropped Hacking back to second.
“It was really disappointing after making my pass into the lead that they red flagged the race,” said Hacking. “But even more disappointing was that I was pushed back a position and forced to accept it. I really feel like I earned that win.”
Attack Kawasaki riders Steve Rapp and Ben Attard also finished in the top ten of the AMA Supersport, earning the sixth and ninth positions, respectively.
In the AMA Superbike race, Hacking who had put in an eighth-place finish on day one, kept it consistent and put in a solid tenth-place finish aboard his Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-10R. Teammate Hayden, who also had a strong run on day one placing sixth, was in fourth and closing on third before a mechanical issue sent him back to the truck, ending his day.
“It was a really unfortunate that we were not able to finish the race because I really felt good out there and it was looking promising,” said Hayden. “I really wanted to put my Kawasaki up on the podium since Kawasaki was the title sponsor of the race and also for my team that has worked so hard.”
The Monster Energy Kawasaki and Attack Kawasaki race teams will return to action at Road America Raceway in Elkhart Lake, Wis. June 1-3.
