"That night was a memorable event for motorcycle fans the world over," said Bob Starr, General Manager of Communications for Yamaha Motor Corporation. "Kenny's accomplishments over the years played a major role in the basis of what Yamaha's performance image is today. This will be a great tribute to a great man and his accomplishment 34 years ago will live on forever in the history of motorcycling."

You could hear that bike screaming no matter where he was on the track with Kenny hanging on for the ride of his life," said Mike Kidd, Director of AMA Pro Flat Track. "Running about mid-pack early in the race, Kenny pulled up along side me down the front straight, then he shifted gears and I never saw him again."

Jamie Hacking Penalty Suspended and Rider Placed on Probation for Remainder of 2009
Hacking to Race at Road Atlanta After Meeting with AMA Pro Road Racing Officials in Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (March 27, 2009) - Attack Kawasaki rider Jamie Hacking has been placed on probation for the remainder of the 2009 AMA Pro Road Racing season and his minimum one-event penalty that was assessed following this past Sunday's race at Auto Club Speedway has been suspended for the balance of the season following a productive meeting today with AMA Pro Racing President Roger Edmondson and his management team at AMA Pro headquarters in Daytona Beach.

Hacking has paid the related $4,000 fine and also delivered to AMA Pro management in the meeting a letter of apology following the penalty for "conduct detrimental to the sport of professional motorcycle racing" that was assessed Sunday evening following the second and final AMA Pro Daytona SportBike presented by AMSOIL race of the weekend. Hacking used a string of profane language while exiting the press interview area in the Auto Club Speedway media center in addition to displaying additional acts of inappropriate behavior in both public and media interviews throughout the weekend.

Hacking will be permitted to compete in next weekend's event at Road Atlanta but any violations of his probation in that event or any other on the 2009 schedule will result in the immediate enforcement of the one-event penalty, in addition to any other fines, penalties or suspensions related to the infraction.

In the meeting and through his formal letter, Hacking apologized to the "AMA organization and staff, Auto Club Speedway, event sponsors, media and all of the race fans." AMA Pro officials were satisfied with Hacking's actions and demeanor during the meeting. The organization wishes to thank Hacking, his wife Rachel and Team Attack Kawasaki principal Richard Stanboli, who were all in attendance at the meeting, for their cooperation and professionalism in addressing this situation.

This press release will be the extent of AMA Pro Road Racing's comment on the matter.
