The first race of the season is behind us, and what a race. Travis #10 put his Saddlemen Racing Harley-Davison on the front row of the grid. After a six lap chase, he was perfectly positioned to take advantage of the complex draft on the banking that makes Daytona unique among MotoAmerica race tracks. Coming out of the infield in P2, he used the draft and pulled out to pass for the win. His Harley hit the rev limiter and he missed out by 0.042 seconds. Truly less than the blink of the eye (0.1-0.4 seconds).
A heartbreaking loss, but a podium finish in the first race of the season is a great way to start the year. Travis also set the fastest lap of race 1. Race 2 is next.
