“Mr Daytona” himself, Scott Russell will be returning to action at the famed Daytona International Speedway, where he’ll ride a Harley Davidson again, but this time it will be a XR 1200 for Harley Owners Group and taking part in the seven-lap Vance & Hines XR1200 class race on March 11th.
The five-time winner of the Daytona 200 race and 1993 World Superbike Champion will be donning his motorcycle racing leathers again after three long years (his last time at Daytona was in 2008 with a Yamaha YZF -R1).
“I’m excited to get on one of those Harley XRs,” said Russell.
“I ran some endurance races last year and I think I still have some gas left in the tank.
It will be fun to race with the rest of the guys at Daytona and hopefully run up front.
”At least twenty racers are expected to take part in the featured race.
