Millennium/KWS Suzuki Gets Superbike Top Fifteen at Miller Motorsports Park
Tooele, UT Ð June 2007 -- Millennium/KWS Suzuki sponsored by Ron Ayers Motorsports
had a solid race weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. Riders John Haner and
David Weber finished back to back in both Superbike races and raced in the
top ten in Superstock before separate incidents took them out of contention
for a top ten result.
David Weber was able to qualify in the twelfth position in Superstock with
a time of 1:54.371. Teammate, John Haner qualified right behind Weber in the
thirteenth position with a time of 154:385. In Superbike qualifying Weber was
able to go faster still with a time of 1:53.617 to qualify in the nineteenth
position. Haner qualified with time of 1:55.034 for the twenty-second position
for Superbike.
Superbike Race One started with a bang when Haner was knocked off track in
turn one. He completed lap one in the twenty-forth position but managed to
fight his way back through the pack to finish right behind he teammate in the
fourteenth position. Weber had an uneventful race on his Dunlop equipped Superstock
Spec Suzuki GSX-R1000 to finish in the thirteenth position.
The Superstock class is the focus for Millennium/KWS Suzuki this year and the
team had a good set up going into the thirteen lap race. Both riders got excellent
starts and were in a four bike battle for most of the race for seventh place.
Unfortunately with a lap and half to go HanerÕs bike over heated. Haner was
able to limp his stricken GSX-R to the line to finish in twenty-sixth place.
Weber was able to continue the battle but crashed making a last lap attempt
at seventh place. Fortunately he was able to pick the bike up and finish in
the thirteenth position. This moved Weber up to tenth on overall Superstock
points.
Superbike Race Two saw both Millennium Technologies sponsored riders fight
back and forth for the duration of the twenty-one lap event. Haner eventually
came out on top to finish in the fourteenth position and Weber in the fifteenth
position. WeberÕs consistent finishes have put him right outside the top ten
in Superbike points and second in the AMA Superbike rookie of the year standings.
John Haner Ð ÒWe had good weekend. The team is working so hard and we are so
close to consistently fighting for a top five finish in Superstock. Dunlop
had a great tire this weekend and the Penske suspension is working awesome.
I canÕt thank my crew enough, Michael Godin, Blake Kelley, and Chip Spalding.
Laguna is the next and a track I traditionally do really well at, I canÕt wait
to get there!Ó
David Weber Ð ÒOverall I am happy with the weekend. I am disappointed with
the crash in the Superstock race, but I was able to pick it up and finish thirteenth
and that moved us into the top ten in points. I want to thank my crew, Rick
Matheny and Matt Hill and the rest of the team. These guys are awesome to work
with.
Kevin Hunt (Team Owner) Ð ÒThe team worked great this weekend. David is getting
faster every weekend and I am very happy to see him running consistently in
the top ten in Superstock. I want to thank Tim Godshall at Penske Racing Shocks,
his knowledge and support is invaluable to our success. We have some down time
between Miller and Laguna to bring the team back to the shop and regroup a
little before the next half of the season. The team has been on the road almost
constantly since April and the break will do them good.Ó
