I want to thank Peggy, all the crew members, George and Jackie Bryce, George Smith, and everybody at G2 Motorsports for making this season so successful.

"Our plans are not yet finalized for 2008, but we are interviewing several riders. I really want to thank our partners Rush Racing Products, Tucker Rocky Distributing, PJ1, Motion Pro, Royal Purple, Wiseco Pistons, Precision Motorcycle Products, Darcy Racing and DynoJet Research for their continued support."

The 2008 POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle season resumes at the ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals, March 13-16, 2008 at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida.
