Lee
Acree to replace injured John Haner on the Millennium/KWS Suzuki.
What was once old is now
new again.
North Charleston, SC –
May 2006 -- Lee Acree will temporally replace the injured John Haner at
Infineon Raceway on the Millennium/KWS Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike sponsored by
Ron Ayers Motorsports. ÒWhen we received the news of JohnÕs injury, the first
person we thought of was Lee AcreeÓ said team owner Kevin Hunt. Acree rode the
Millennium/KWS Suzuki GSX-R1000 in 2005 and finished the year 10th
in Superbike points.
Millennium/KWS SuzukiÕs
regular rider, John Haner, injured his shoulder at Barber Motorsports Park
April 23rd in the AMA Superstock race. John was examined by Dr. Ting
in San Jose, California and it was determined that he had suffered two ruptured
tendons and a torn rotator cup. John had surgery on Monday May 1st to
repair the damage and is resting at his home in Pearland, TX. John will be out
of action for 5 – 12 weeks, but is hoping for a quick recovery.
Lee Acree is currently
riding for the Vesrah Suzuki WERA Endurance team. Fortunately there is not a
scheduling conflict and Vesrah Suzuki was gracious enough to help another
Pirelli sponsored Suzuki team.
ÒWe are obviously unhappy
that John was injured and we canÕt wait to have him back,Ó said team owner
Kevin Hunt. ÒJohn Haner is a team player and when he showed up at Fontana in
pain to support the team it really showed what kind of person he is. Lee is one
of the best riders in the country and we are very happy to have him back on the
bike even if it is only temporary.Ó
