Welcome To American Road Racing

Yamaha Motor Corporation is very proud to celebrate its 50th year of professional Grand Prix racing. It stands true that

much has filtered down over all these years in terms of innovation, technology, and excitement to national events such

as those brought to American fans through the AMA Professional Road Racing Series. Just as we share in the pride

of Jorge Lorenzo winning the MotoGP World Championship for 2010, Yamaha fans throughout the United States take

similar pride in their own hero and champion, Josh Hayes, who claimed the American SuperBike Championship title

aboard the cross-plane crankshaft equipped YZF-R1.

On behalf of Yamaha’s U.S. racing division and its partners, we thank you for your interest in helping to preserve the

anticipation and the excitement that only road racing can bring to American fans.

Thank you and enjoy the racing!

Keith McCarty

Racing Division Manager

In 2010, Day 2 - Josh Hayes took advantage of both of those features for the SuperBike class win as did Josh Herrin in the Daytona SportBike class. J.D. Beach came out with even better results winning both days of the SuperSport class.

The Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Sports/Graves Yamaha

team will field AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike con-

tender Chris Clark on the championship winning YZF-R1 prepared by

Graves Motorsports. This will be Chris’ second year in the SuperBike

class. In 2010 Chris’ highlights were a pair of ninth place finishes

at Road Atlanta and finishing 12th in American SuperBike.

Chris began his racing career early by competing in junior

dragster and go-karting events all over the country and was suc-

cessful in winning a national championship as well as two club

championships. He moved on to road racing in 2006 at age 14. One

year later in 2007 Chris began his racing career in WERA West. He

went on to dominate the WERA West Novice class and ended the

season with top point standings in B SuperBike and B SuperStock

classes. In 2007, he won a combined total of eight novice cham-

pionships, six of which were national events, including podium

standings at both WERA Grand National Finals and CCS Race of

Champions. In 2008 Chris began working with the Bazzaz Perfor-

mance team and by the end of the season achieved a tremendous

honor when he was presented with the AMA Sports Road Race

Horizon Award, which recognizes the amateur competitor with

the best prospects for a successful professional career. He also

earned National #1 plates in Expert Unlimited Grand Prix and Ex-

pert Unlimited SuperBike at the AMA Road Race Grand National

Championships. The 2009 season marked the beginning of Chris’

professional career.

Tommy Aquino #6

- Seventeen -

Returning for his fourth professional season aboard a YZF-R6

riding for Y.E.S. Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Sports/Graves

Yamaha, Tommy Aquino proved he belongs at the top level of AMA

racing with his three pole positions during the 2010 season.

Returning to the Daytona SportBike class for 2011, Tommy has the

experience, team and proven R6 to help accomplish his goals of

getting his first career AMA win and the Daytona SportBike

Championship.

Tommy has been riding and racing motorcycles since he was

six-years-old. He cut his teeth in motocross before following his

father’s footsteps and switching to road racing in ’03. Later that

year, he made his first international start at the World Mini Grand

Prix in Valencia, Spain, where he finished 7th in a field of 50 inter-

national riders. During the 2004 and 2005 seasons he proceeded to

make a name for himself in CMRRA, SoCal Mini GP and WERA racing,

racking up many wins in the expert classes. He also competed in

the AMA Supermoto Invitational where he finished fourth at the

season ending event in Las Vegas.

In 2006 Tommy continued to hone his skills when he finished

2nd in the West Coast USGPRU and 4th at the WERA Nationals

after traveling to selected rounds of the series. By now working

with Chuck Graves, he was instructed to focus on the 2007 WERA

National Challenge where he won the 600 Expert SuperBike Class

and finished 2nd in the 600 Expert SuperStock as well as winning

both championships for those classes in the WERA West.

Anxiously awaiting the start of his professional career by

finally obtaining his AMA license, Tommy made his AMA pro debut

at Miller Motorsports Park in 2008 at the age of 16 years and 2

days. He finished a very credible 7th place and continued the rest

of the season with top ten finishes, paving the way for his 2008

AMA Rookie of the Year award. He joined the Graves Motorsports

Yamaha Team in 2009 and finished inside the top ten in the

Championship standings in both of his first two seasons.

AMA Pro National Guard American SuperBike Championship2011 will be the 36th anniversary of SuperBike racing in the United States. Josh Hayes

and his Monster Energy Graves Yamaha R1 are the reigning class champions. The AMA

Pro National Guard American SuperBike class features the biggest, fastest flagship motorcycles available on the market today. American SuperBikes

approach 200 horsepower, tip the scales at 370 lbs. and feature the most talented veteran racers in the series as they battle it out at over 195 mph on

some of the fastest tracks in the country. Over the past decade many former AMA SuperBike champions, including two of the last three, have gone

on to become FIM Moto GP Champion and FIM World SuperBike Champion. Nicky Hayden, the 2002 SuperBike champion went on to claim the 2006

MotoGP title while three-time AMA SuperBike champion Ben Spies most recently earned the 2009 World SuperBike title aboard a Yamaha R1 in his

rookie season. These past few years, race fans have witnessed the re-emergence of the American SuperBike class as one of the most competitive in

the AMA Pro Road Racing Championship.

AMA Pro Daytona SportBikeThis is the class that hones the skills of the young racers as they prove they have what it takes to become an AMA Pro Road Racing champion. With more

eligible motorcycles from more manufacturers than any other class in the world, Daytona SportBike has produced some of the most action-packed races

in the AMA Pro Racing series over the past two seasons. Racers move up from the SuperSport class to compete in the faster Daytona SportBike class

to show they have the mettle to earn an American SuperBike ride. With such a wide variety of riders and machines filling the grid at each and every

round, the Daytona SportBike Championship is in a class all its own.
