Josh Hayes powers out of turn 8 at Road America while qualifying for the AMA Repsol Superstock Series in June of 2006. Riding the Erion Racing/American Honda/Parts Unlimited CBR1000RR, Josh finished the weekend in the fifth position and the year end standings as well. However, he captured his first of two ('06-'07) AMA Formula Xtreme Championships. He's currently leading the premier class AMA Superbike Series over Yoshimura Suzuki's Tommy Hayden, 364-353, with two rounds (New Jersey Motorsports Park/Barber Motorsports Park) and four races to go in the season.
