Yamaha at Daytona for Bike Week

Yamaha previews the Daytona 200 and Superbike races, plus additional eventsRoad Racing
This year, Yamaha goes for Daytona 200 victory number 22 with two riders who many consider to be the odds-on favorites to take the checkered flag. Yamaha Extended Service/Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha’s Cameron Beaubier and Garrett Gerloff will both be aboard identically prepared YZF-R6 Daytona SportBikes, determined to conquer the high banks, pitstops, 57 grueling laps, and high-speed drafting maneuvers that Daytona presents.

This year’s Daytona 200 is set to go green on Saturday, March 16 at 1:00 PM.

In AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike, three-time champ Josh Hayes will begin defense of his triple-title aboard his #1 Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha YZF-R1. He’ll be, once again, teamed with Josh Herrin, who was last year’s SuperBike Rookie of the Year and rides the #2 Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha R1.

Superbike Race 1 will take place on Friday, March 15 at 4:00 PM, and Race 2 is scheduled for Saturday, March 16 at 11:00 AM.

Two autograph sessions will take place on Friday afternoon, March 15, with Josh Hayes and Josh Herrin signing posters and memorabilia from 1:45 to 2:30, followed by Cameron Beaubier and Garrett Gerloff, who are scheduled to sign from 2:30 to 3:15. The autograph sessions will take place at the Yamaha display located at the Daytona Club Pad.
