Jake Zemke on the Team Honda CBR1000RR Superbike during qualifying for the AMA round at Barber Motorsports Park in April of 2007. Jake won the second superbike race today at Daytona to make it 2-0 on the competition and for Team Jordan Motorsports for a fine start to the 2010 AMA Superbike season. Today was Jake's second win as well on a Suzuki after having ridden Honda's for the better part of the last decade. Looks like a pretty good career move....

Tommy Hayden on his Team Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 during superbike race one action at Barber Motorsports Park in April of 2007. Hayden came up .002 seconds short of his initial win again today after garnering second in yesterday's race one. Still, a good start for Tommy Gun.

Ben 'B-Boz' Bostrom on his Team Graves Motorsports Yamaha R1-based SuperStock bike during qualifying for the Barber AMA round in April of 2007. The '98 Superbike Champ and 2009 Daytona 200 Champ came from 1.2 seconds behind setting the fastest lap of the race on lap 9 to nab third place today .081 seconds behind Jake Zemke and Tommy Hayden. It looks like Ben and Pat Clark Motorsports may have something to bring to the table this year and bringing in outside-the-industry sponsors in the Palms Resort and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Jake Zemke made the career switch of his life this year and he more then proved it today by winning his second Daytona SuperBike race in as many days and giving Team Jordan Suzuki it's second premier class victory in as many days as well. Zemke made a run at the end on Tommy Hayden and beat him to the line by .009 seconds. Ben Bostrom was third .081 back on Zemke.

I wanted to add the press conference from the second superbike race as was put together for us fans by Susan Haas over at Dean Adam's super site www.superbikeplanet.com. If you can't read the whole thing, take the time to scroll down to the bottom and the comment that Ben Bostrom makes about the great week it was for all at Daytona, and how the feeling in the paddock was MUCH better to start the year off from the DMG-run series then the stain it left on everyone's shirts from the 2009 version. Very good sounding news for the fans and the competitors after what everyone had to endure last year. Bravo to the AMA and the DMG folks! Keep up the great work!
