Hooligan Race 2 is in the books

Six, count ’em, six bikes in the lead group going through the infield on the final lap of Super Hooligan Race #2 of the 2025 Daytona 200 weekend. A few seconds of shuffling and bar-banging action later Travis (#10) leads onto the banking. This is not normally where one wants to be. The draft at Daytona is so powerful, the lead bike often does not win. But with no other choice at this point, Travis rolls onto the banking with five bikes chasing him. Four riders behind tussle with each other, searching for the draft advantage. Travis is closing in on the win, only seconds away from the checkered flag.

Then a remarkable thing happens. The bike that is in sixth uses the draft of the bikes in front of him and comes flying forward, seemingly out of nowhere. Final result? Travis takes second by 0.032 seconds. Wow what a race! Sure makes my heart pound fast watching the bikes fly around the high banks at Daytona. And with two second places, each loss by only thousands of a second, #10 is off to a great start to the season. Go Travis!
