KYLE WYMAN 3RD IN VANCE & HINES XR1200 SEASON FINALE |
| BATAVIA, NY - (September 8, 2011) |
| The AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series was at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ this past Labor Day weekend for the season finale of the 8-round series. Kyle Wyman finished 3rd in Sunday’s XR1200 final with a last-lap pass for the final podium position. |
| Wyman struggled in practice and qualifying, only being able to achieve 6th place on the grid for the race. |
| “I didn’t qualify that well on Saturday,” said Wyman, “I really struggled to find the feeling I was looking for in the bike, but in the race it kind of just clicked once I had a carrot out in front of me to chase.” |
| Kyle ran down Tyler O'hara for the final podium spot. |
| “I knew if I was going to pass him I had to do it just once and make sure it stuck. Tyler is strong on the brakes, so I knew I would really have to push it in front of him if I wanted to have a chance to hold him off. Fortunately I was able to do that and he never showed me a wheel on that last lap; I was pushing really hard.” |
| Kyle finished 5th overall in the XR1200 season standings. |
|
| “I really want to thank everyone who was involved this year: Richie Morris Racing, Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing, Revolution Performance, Geico, Lucas Oil, Kuryakyn, Lenny Albin from Race Tech, EBC Brakes, Chicken Hawk Racing, Arai, Sidi, Held, Motion Pro, Webster Dental group, Kicker, Long Pond Autobody, TioHero Tours, 505bluesmusic.com, Rivalus, Pilot, my Dad and Uncle Bill, Jason Jones, Clint Brotz and everyone else who was involved. It has been a great learning experience for me, and I couldn’t have done any of it without them.” |
