PRO MOTORCYCLE ROAD RACING RETURNS TO
ROAD AMERICA FOR THE HONDA SUPERBIKE SHOWDOWN OF WISCONSIN JUNE 3-5

ELKHART LAKE, Wis., May 26, 2016  - America's fastest production-based road racing
motorcycles return to America's National Park of Speed June 3-5, as the MotoAmerica
(AMA/FIM) series comes to Road America for the HONDA Superbike Showdown of Wisconsin.
The fast and flowing 4-mile road course at Road America is one of the most exciting
and challenging tracks on the MotoAmerica schedule and will serve as the field of
battle for round five of the 2016 MotoAmerica campaign. This year, all eyes will
 be on four-time Superbike Champion Josh Hayes.
For the past six years, "The Mississippi Madman" has won a whopping total of eight
Superbike races at Road America. And every single one of those victories has been
aboard the all-conquering Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike, albeit in two dominant iterations
of the iconic machine.
Hayes has won at least one of the two Superbike races at Road America every single
year, starting with his breakthrough Saturday victory in 2010. And he also swept
 both Road America Superbike races for two years in a row, in 2012 and 2013.
So, what is it about Road America? Why is Road America's 4.05-mile, 14-turn natural
road course one of Josh Hayes' all-time favorite racetracks? "It's like home to 
me," Hayes says. "I'm really comfortable there. It's got everything I love about
 racing a motorcycle: top speed, changes in elevation, and hard braking. I like 
long tracks and fast tracks, and Road America is it for me. I love the place."
The feeling is mutual. Among a lot of Wisconsin's motorcycle road racing fans, the
always-likeable Hayes is an honorary Cheesehead. In the land of the Green Bay Packers,
it's obvious that people like winners, and Hayes is the Bart Starr, the Brett Favre,
and the Aaron Rogers of motorcycle road racing, all rolled into one. He's a true
 hero in every way.
While Hayes tops the charts for Yamaha riders who have won at Road America, numbers
two and four on the list have all done something that even the all-conquering Hayes
has not done at famed circuit. While Hayes has notched all eight of his victories
aboard the Yamaha R1 Superbike, Jake Gagne and Cameron Beaubier have each won races
aboard both the Yamaha R1 and Yamaha's middleweight-class road racing overlord, 
the YZF-R6.
In 2015, Jake got the double-win aboard his RoadRace Factory/Yamaha R1 in MotoAmerica's
Superstock 1000 class, while Cameron won Saturday's Superbike races at Road America
in successive years: 2015 and 2014. Both riders raced the R6 to victory in recent
years, as well. Jake carded a double win in AMA Pro Racing's Daytona SportBike class
in 2014, and Jake and Cameron split the victories at Road America in 2013's two 
Daytona SportBike races.
Road America's winningest Yamaha R6 rider is Josh Herrin, who won Saturday's MotoAmerica
Supersport race in 2015, got the double win in AMA Pro Daytona SportBike in 2011,
and also won Saturday's DSB race aboard his R6 back in 2010.   Two-time race winners
at Road America include Yamaha R6 riders JD Beach (MotoAmerica Supersport in 2015
and AMA Pro Racing SuperSport in 2010) and Travis Wyman (MotoAmerica Superstock 
600 in 2015 and AMA Pro Racing SuperSport in 2011).
Four other Yamaha road racers have tasted victory at Road America over the past 
six years, including last year's Sunday Superstock 600 race winner Joe Roberts; 
Stefano Mesa, who won Sunday's AMA Pro SuperSport in 2012; David Gaviria, who was
victorious in Saturday's SuperSport race in 2011; and Huntley Nash, who won Sunday's
SuperSport race in 2010.
It's been quite a six-year stretch at Road America for road racers competing aboard
Yamaha machinery, and, all indications are that the Yamaha string of success will
continue. As the saying goes, success breeds success, and in Wisconsin, Road America
bodes well for Yamaha.
The on-track action gets underway at 9 a.m., on Friday, June 3, with practice and
first qualifying sessions throughout the day. Final qualifying will take place on
Saturday morning starting at 8:30 a.m. The afternoon's races begin at 1 p.m., and
the day will conclude with the KTM RC Cup race at 4 p.m.
Sunday's schedule starts with warm-up sessions at 8:30 a.m., and the Dunlop Fan 
Walk/Autograph Session that begins at 10:50 a.m. Sunday's races start at 12:30 p.m.
