In a sea of V-twin engines you could clearly hear the distinct sound of the British motor. Triumph was out in force at Daytona Bike Week with two large trucks and an abundance of fans. The area was bordered by blue Triumph flags and fronted by two custom bikes painted with the Union Jack. The announcement was plain and difficult to miss - the Brits have landed.

Eslick grabs the 2009 AMA Pro Racing Daytona SportBike championship, giving Buell its first road racing championship Buell Press Release 
Bruce Rossmeyer's Daytona Racing/RMR/GEICO Powersports rider Danny Eslick made history by clinching the 2009 AMA Pro Road Racing Daytona SportBike championship at New Jersey Motorsports Park, his own and Buell Motorcycle Company's first professional AMA road racing championship.
Coming into the race, the second of the double-header weekend at NJMP, with a 22-point lead over Graves Yamaha's Josh Herrin, his only remaining title rival, Eslick needed to secure at least a 12th place finish to hold off the fast-charging Herrin. Herrin needed to sweep both weekend races to have a chance at catching Eslick, including today's thriller that featured a dramatic Lap 1, Turn 1 three-rider incident that forced both Herrin and Eslick to ride off track. |

His race win opened Sunday's races in the AMA Pro Superbike Championships on Thunderbolt Raceway at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP).

Eslick finished seventh Sunday and ended his successful championship run with 387 points to Herrin's 382.
