It has been announced that Roger Hayden will represent the Army National Guard and its 358,000 soldiers in the 2012 AMA Pro Racing National Guard Superbike Championship. He will be riding the MJM GSX-R1000 Suzuki.
Last season saw Hayden earn two podium finishes and finally finish in a respectable sixth place in the rider points standings at the AMA American Superbike Championship series.
Roger Hayden: “I’m really excited to be returning to Michael Jordan Motorsports and representing the Army National Guard again. The team and I really came on strong near the end of the season and I hope that we can keep that momentum going into next year. I feel like I have one of the best crews in the paddock so it’s great to keep the same unit together. I am especially honoured to represent the men and women of the National Guard this year as they celebrate 375 years of service to our country.”
Kreig Robinson, MJM Vice President of Corporate Relations: “Roger gave us a first-class effort in 2011 and proved that he deserves the opportunity to ride a Superbike. His ‘ready to work’ attitude towards development made him an easy choice to return to ride for us and to represent the National Guard in 2012. We always set our sights on championship contention, and we’re confident in Roger Lee’s commitment to excellence.”
