Next week, there will be a lap of honor, sponsored by Dunlop Tires, taken at Virginia International Raceway, by a legendary American motorcycle racer with roots in road racing. Former champion, Jamie Hacking, was supposed to ride that lap of honor. But, he cannot, due to scheduling conflicts. Therefore, the honor will go to Doug Polen, who is standing in. Polen, is also an American Superbike racing champion, and a great of the sport.
Polen will ride a Yamaha YZF-R6 for Dunlop tires, and present the winner's trophy for the MotoAmerica Superbike races. Polen is deserving of the honor. As you will read in the article, during the 1991 and 1992 AMA Superbike seasons, he set some records, that still stand, to this very day.
