Danny’s race could not have started in a better position after winning pole, earning himself a second Rolex Daytona Cosmograph watch. Danny led 44 of 57 laps with two flawless pit stops performed by the Riders Discount Triumph crew allowing Danny to maintain his lead.

The last stint started with a margin of 2 seconds over second place rider Jake Gagne, increasing to over 10 seconds by the finish all the while waving to the fans, spurring the bike like a horse, and riding wheelies in classic Danny form. The victory lap saw a stop at a Danny Eslick fan club bus where he briefly celebrated before returning to the bike and proceeded to do rolling burnouts and ride wheelies along the banks of Daytona.

Danny Eslick:

“Hats off to the crew. (Crew chief) Richard Stanboli is the guy I worked with like ten years ago in my first year in the AMA Pro Road Racing. So in a big, roundabout way, this is payback for that first year,” said Eslick. “It’s awesome. I’ve gotten the pole before and, my very first 200, I got fourth. So there’s been a lot of hard work and a lot of years passed by to get this victory. It really means a lot. There’s been a lot going on at home, losing people close to me. This one is for Tommy Aquino and some good friends from home. So it means a lot.”

Brian Gibson, Team Owner:

“To win the Daytona 200 at the start of only our 2nd AMA Pro Road Racing season is just incredible. I can’t thank Danny and the entire crew enough. These guys have been burning the midnight oil for 6 weeks getting everything prepared and Danny capped off the effort by performing flawlessly. A huge shout out to all of our sponsors for believing in our program and also I want to thank all the fans of Danny and Riders Discount that cheered us to victory!”

Constructed from premium 1.2 – 1.4mm cowhide, the Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 3.0 has a look and feel that outpaces its relatively modest price. This sturdy frame is built for maximum abrasion resistance and is backed by CE-rated armor in the back, knee, elbow and shoulder. The shoulder also features a new style of titanium-capped protector that sits atop the leather on the exterior.

Despite the thick leather and the array of armor, the Twist of Fate 3.0 is a incredibly comfortable suit that feels broken in the first time you try it on. This is due in part to the high-quality and very supple leather used by Speed and Strength. Adding to the overall broken in, comfortable feel is the generous use of Schoeller® Keprotec® stretch material in the arms, crotch, thighs, and calf. The Twist of Fate 3.0 also provides plenty of ventilation, with perforated leather throughout the chest, upper arms, thighs and lower back.

Like both of its predecessors, the Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 3.0 is a suit that performs at a much higher level than its price-tag would suggest.

With the AMA sharing the track with WSBK for the weekend, there would only be one race instead of the standard two; and both of the team’s riders, Jake Zemke and Joey Pascarella, aimed to make the most of it. The pair started out the weekend well and managed to earn top-ten starting positions during qualifying, but they would end up with varying results.

Zemke managed to give the team their best finish of the season by putting in an excellent performance during what was only his third race aboard the Triumph Daytona 675R. He passed and held off multiple riders in the last few laps before crossing the finish line in 6th place. Pascarella, however, wasn’t quite so lucky during Sunday’s race, and went down in turn one after coming together with another rider. He was able to pick the bike up, get back on track and make his way back up through the pack, but a mechanical issue resulting from the crash forced him back into the pits early.

Jake Zemke – “The race went well for us. Once again, the Riders Discount team kept improving the Triumph 675R every time we went out. We didn’t qualify as well as we wanted to, but things went a lot better in the race. We were able to pass a few guys to finish 6th, which is not too bad at all considering it’s only our 3rd time on the bike. It makes me wish that the season was just starting instead of ending! We made great progress with the Triumph and haven’t reached the potential of the bike yet.”

Joey Pascarella – “This weekend was a strange one for myself and the crew. Qualifying was tough because we had a problem with the bike that caused us to miss the first session. Luckily things were up and running for the second and I was able to get into a groove where I threw down a couple of good laps that put me in 8th. Considering the missed session, we were pretty happy with that result. In the race I got off to an okay start before I unfortunately got into it with another rider and went down in turn one. When I got back on track I started working my way back through the pack until I got a weird feeling with the bike and had to come in. We had a bad day on Sunday, but that’s how racing goes sometimes! I can’t thank the whole Riders Discount Triumph team enough, and I’m looking forward to 2014!”

The post Riders Discount Triumph Wraps Up 2013 Season At Laguna Seca appeared first on Riders Discount.

“I’m very excited heading into Laguna,” said Joey Pascarella. “Its always nice to not only race close to home, but also to have it be a track that I enjoy as much as this one. The team has been putting a lot of effort into working on the bikes and we’ve made a lot of progress in the weeks leading up to this round. I have a good feeling about this weekend and think it will be a good one on the Riders Discount Triumph.”

“I’m really looking forward to the race this weekend at Laguna Seca,” commented Zemke. “The Riders Discount team made some great improvements to the Triumph last time out, and I know they’ve been working on the bikes non-stop since then. The crew and I are excited to get back out to the track so that we can see how much more we can get out of the bike. I’ve only been with the team for a few races, but I’m looking to finish off the season strong.”

Team manager Bree Poland had this to say, “I can’t believe we have just one round left! The team has really come together and we are starting to see some major progress. We may not have lit the world on fire with our results this year, but had we had a little more time I think we would have. The riders have been great as well. This is my third season working with Joey Pascarella and I believe in his talent. I would love to see him leave Laguna with a good finish. Bringing Jake on the team for the last few rounds was a really good choice as well. He has really helped bring our program to the next level.”

“I want to personally thank Triumph for providing us the opportunity to race their bikes”, she went on to say. “As well as all of our sponsors who have supported us and stood by our side. I’m hoping that we can do everyone proud at Laguna this weekend, and go into the off-season on a positive note.”

The post Riders Discount Triumph Looking To End Season On A High Note At Laguna Seca appeared first on Riders Discount.

The weekend started off well for both Zemke and Pascarella, with the pair consistently improving their pace throughout practice and into qualifying. By the end of these sessions, Pascarella had earned the 9th spot on the grid and Zemke would be starting from 11th. Things went a little differently in race one, however. Zemke got off to a solid start that had him running in 8th place after a few laps and ran a lonely race from then on. He maintained this position until the checkered flag. Pascarella had worse fortunes and unfortunately ended his race early with a crash in the second lap.

Sunday began with both riders looking to improve upon their performances from the first race. This showed in the morning warmup, where Zemke put in his fastest lap of the weekend. He led a trio of Triumph Daytona 675R’s that included DiSalvo and Pascarella. Race two saw Zemke get off to an even better start than the day before, and had him in the mix running a much less lonely race. He was able to fight as far up as 6th before finishing the race in 7th. Pascarella’s second race also got off to a better start, but it was unfortunately not going to last. An engine failure brought things to a halt before he could get going in earnest.

Jake Zemke – “The Riders Discount team did a great job of giving me a better motorcycle each time we went out on track this weekend. In only our second race on the 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R, we were able to come away with two top 10 finishes. Sunday’s race was much better and had us in the battle for 4-7th position. Our setup allowed us to run with those guys, but unfortunately as the race wore on we were also fighting rear grip issues that prevented us from moving up the order. We are really looking forward to the next race at Laguna Seca in two weeks to build on our performance from this weekend.”

Joey Pascarella – “This weekend was a learning experience for the Riders Discount crew and myself. We got the 2013 Triumph 675R working better than it has been all season, and I found a lot out about the bike. I feel like we would have had a good pace in the races but unfortunately we didn’t have the best of luck. In race one I got a bad start and knew I had to make up for it by passing fast and latching onto the group, but in doing so I got a little ahead of myself and crashed on the second lap. Going into race two I was feeling really good and wanted to make up for Saturday’s crash. My start was much better and I was right where I needed to be until the engine failed going down the straight in lap one. I wasn’t happy, but I had to let it go. This is racing, and things can happen that no one has control of. We all learned a ton this weekend and, despite the bad luck, I think we can still carry the positive momentum into Laguna in two weeks time. My crew worked their butts off and I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work.”

The post Top Tens for Zemke And Bad Luck For Pascarella In New Jersey appeared first on Riders Discount.

Qualifying had Pascarella starting from the 10th spot on the grid for Saturday’s race, but an issue with a hose during the warm up lap forced him to pull off and push the bike to the wall. Luckily this all occurred close enough to the pits that he was able to sprint back to the paddock. As soon as they realized what had happened, the crew worked quickly to remove the tire warmers from the backup 675R and get it off of the stands so that Pascarella could start his race in earnest – all while the rest of the competition sped away. Despite being on a bike that he hadn’t intended to race, Pascarella was able to put his head down and churn out an impressive run of steadily improving lap times that brought him back up to 13th from well behind the very back of the field.

“I was feeling good going into the first race after making some changes to the setup in order to get more rear grip,” said Pascarella on Saturday. “Unfortunately we had the water leak just before the start and I had to push the bike to the pit wall. I made it onto the backup bike and started from pit lane, so I was pretty much riding by myself for a while. On the plus side, I did get some good data for the crew and was able to put in some quick laps that ended up being faster than I had gone in any of the previous practice or qualifying sessions.”

Team manager Bree Poland added, “Even though we finished the race in 13th, I’m really glad Joey was able to get back to the pits and back out on track. Everyone else had a solid head start at that point and he was still able to put in a couple of his fastest laps of the weekend up to that point – even though he was on a bike he didn’t mean to ride. We also have to give big thanks to the AMA Pro Road Racing crew for lifting our stalled bike over the pit wall before everyone came back around track again. Not only did they get it safely out of the way in time, but they lifted it over the tall Mid-Ohio wall by hand!”

Prior to Sunday’s race, the Riders Discount Triumph crew was able make the most of the data gathered on the backup Triumph 675R used during race one by improving the setup for Pascarella. This showed in the race, when Pascarella put in substantially faster times than the day before. He ended up finishing just outside of the top ten in 11th place.

“Overall, this wasn’t the weekend that the team and I were hoping for, but we are all very determined to improve. I am looking forward to next weekend and I feel that Laguna will suit us better.” 

Joey Pascarella and Riders Discount Triumph are very optimistic going forward and they are ready for the next challenge. This challenge will come in just a few days time, when the Riders Discount Triumph truck and crew arrive at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in California for the 5th round of racing during the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.

The post Joey Pascarella And Riders Discount Triumph Looking Forward To Laguna After Tough Weekend At Mid-Ohio appeared first on Riders Discount.

“This past weekend’s riding was great,” said Joey Pascarella. “We were all relaxed and having fun, but also working really hard. It was a good atmosphere and we were able to make a ton of progress with the new 2013 Triumph 675R’s as a result. It’s always a great feeling to be able to work and have so much fun at the same time. I am so excited and confident going into Mid-Ohio. I just can’t wait to get back out on track!”

Brian Gibson had this to say: “After being off the bike since competing in the 2012 AMA Supersport race at Road America it definitely felt good to be out on the track again. My body might disagree, but it is wonderful getting out there and twisting the grip on these new 2013 Triumph 675R’s nonetheless. Getting to test with Joey at my home track of Grattan Raceway was great fun. I have many, many laps under my belt there and Joey ended up going very, very quick – and in less than ideal conditions, no less.  I am very satisfied with the results of the test and look forward to improvements at the next AMA round at Mid-Ohio.”
