Jason DiSalvo, Daytona SportBike Racer - Team M4 Suzuki
Up until about a month ago, Jason was even sure he would be racing this season. However that all changed when he landed his ride with Team M4 Suzuki. Now after the first round of the Daytona SuperBike Series he sits in third place with his first podium of the season. DiSalvo finished the 2008 Superbike season in third place overall. In his career, Jason has won races in the U.S. and overseas in Europe. He is a serious racer but also has a sense of humor as evidenced by his Mr. T impersonation last year.

Charlie Mullins, GNCC Racer - Team FMF Suzuki
Charlie Mullins won the GNCC season opener in Daytona Florida taking the holeshot and leading from start to finish. The prestigious race took place at the all-new River Ranch track. Charlie spent over a month in Florida training for the race. At the second GNCC Round in Georgia, Mullins finished fourth overall after starting in last place. His impressive charge was severely hampered when he caught his foot in a rut and twisted his ankle on lap two.
