Barber: AMA XR1200 Sunday Results

Barber XR1200 Results

The first motorcycle race of the day at Barber Motorsports Park was run in the most difficult conditions.

The Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XR1200 series lined up with the visiting British champion Jeremy McWilliams taking the win over veteran Michael Barnes and New Jersey winner P.J. Jacobson.

McWilliams, over thanks to Warr’s and Roadracingworld.com and HOG Racing, showed the way from start to finish with Barnes riding the Jones Brothers Harley XR1200 shadowing his every move.

The two ran nose to tail for the entire eleven lap American v-twin motorcycle race but it was McWilliams who pulled away at the end to take the win, making him unique in that he has won on XR1200 Harley-Davidsons on two continents this year.

Barnes was delighted to be riding and Jacobson backed up his fine form from New Jersey to take another motorcycle racing podium finish.

Due to his early season three race wins, it was Danny Eslick riding the RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing XR1200 with valuable support from GIECO Powersports and Lucas Oil who captured the initial Vance & Hines AMA XR1200 championship and the number one plate that goes with it.

All in all, it has been an exciting, memorable and historic 2010 motorcycle racing season for AMA Pro Road Racing and with five champions crowned in four classes (AMA Superbike, AMA Daytona SportBike, AMA SportSport and AMA XR1200) on the final day of the season, the season ended on the highest note possible.
