A news release issued by AMA Pro Racing states that Josh Hayes, who crossed the finish line first in Saturday’s AMA Pro Superbike race one at New Jersey Motorsports Park, was assessed a penalty and dropped to second place. That makes Roger Hayden the winner.
It marks the first win of the year for Hayden.
Hayes still clinched the championship.
In the AMA Pro Racing release Hayden was quoted as saying:
“It’s not really the way I’d like to win them but I do remember at that point in the race the waving yellow when he came by me in Turn 1,” Hayden said. “I rode hard enough and good enough to win so I feel good for me and team. We didn’t want to let Yamaha sweep the whole series this year so we’re excited about that. Hopefully we’ll get one without any controversy tomorrow.”
We will issue more information on the matter as it becomes available.
