“If you had asked me even on the grid, last week, two weeks ago, how I felt coming into the race, I just would have said I had zero chance,” said defending DAYTONA 200 Champ Josh Herrin. Instead of zero chance, he made history at the 84th running of the historic event. Herrin became the only rider with four consecutive wins. He also tied legends Scott Russell and Miguel Duhamel for the most DAYTONA 200 victories with each of the three riders winning the “Great American Motorcycle Race” five times.
“It was just an amazing race. I can’t thank the entire Rahal Ducati Moto team enough. Thank you to Desnuda. Thank you to Brew Watch, Nimbus Healthcare. Thank you to everybody that came in and helped out just for this weekend. It’s an amazing feeling!”
Capping his history-making ride was Herrin’s custom KYT helmet. “I can’t describe what it feels like, especially to be wearing this helmet that Troy Lee painted himself to honor Scott Russell, and to have Scott share the helmet on his social media and stuff. It’s a special day. It just doesn’t feel real.”
