Jordan Suzuki returns to Miller Motorsports Park June 21, 2007

Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki rider Aaron Yates looks to defend his podium finish when the Jordan Suzuki team returns to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, June 22-24, 2007.  At last season’s races at Miller Motorsports Park, Yates piloted his Suzuki GSX-R1000 to three top-10 finishes, including a second place podium slot in the Superstock event.  Also competing for the checkered flag in this weekend’s 13 lap (60K) Superstock race is Yates’ teammate Jake Holden.

Miller Motorsports Park is the only track on the current AMA race schedule at which Yates has not won.  With the backing of a new team and with team owner Michael Jordan expected to be in attendance, Yates hopes to change that by giving his crew their second AMA Superstock win in 2007 on Sunday.  Holden, who has enjoyed two podium finishes of his own this season, would love to challenge Yates for the coveted top spot on the podium.

In addition to Superstock racing, both Jordan Suzuki riders compete in the AMA Superbike series.  While Holden races both classes on his Superstock Suzuki GSX-R1000, Yates rides a full Superbike in that event.  “Since Road America, the crew has spent a lot of time on Superbike engine development,” states technical manager, Pete Mauhar.  “We are really looking forward to getting the bikes off the dyno and out on to the track.”  Yates, who qualified his Superbike for the front row at the last two rounds of racing, briefly led each race and also grabbed the holeshot in race two at Road America, proving he has the skill and Superbike power needed for podium contention.

Jordan Suzuki fans can watch Yates and Holden race on the 3.048 mile outer course at Miller Motorsports Park on Saturday in the AMA Superbike race and then again on Sunday in the AMA Superstock and the AMA Superbike race two.  “We enjoy Miller Motorsports Park, with its challenging layout, and great garage facilities.  The Utah Jazz staff is also great to work with,” General Manager Ken Abbott notes.
