PJ Jacobsen to Ride with Moroney’s 1800-Fasthog at the Indianapolis Mile

August 23, 2010

NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (August 23, 2010) - PJ Jacobsen will take another crack at the sport he grew up with on his Moroney’s 1800-Fasthog sponsored Harley XR750. The infamous Indianapolis Mile will be welcoming the 13th Round of the AMA Pro K&N Filters Grand National Championship (GNC) presented by Motorcycle-Superstore.com this weekend, August 28, 2010.

Jacobsen is a bit younger than most of the riders at this caliber of racing. He has a bright future in both AMA Pro Road Racing and AMA Pro Flat Track. Jacobsen, who raced with some of the Pro Singles riders, moved up a class as early as possible to take his chances in the AMA Pro GNC Expert Flat Track Series.

Pat Moroney of Moroney’s Harley Davidson says, “I predict that PJ will win a lot of races in the future.” Pat has had a few of the greats ride for him, for instance: Aaron Yates, Jared Mees, Nicky Hayden, Roger Hayden, Will Davis, Mike Hacker, Jake Johnson, Brian Smith and now PJ Jacobsen.

PJ’s comments on the upcoming race,” We hope to continue making the mains. It’s not easy. These guys are fast and have so much experience. If we keep it fun, that’s what counts. I am sure the guys back at Moroney’s (Pat, Rich, George and Bobby Weiss from Weiss Racing) will have the bike ready to do battle.

This will be Jacobsen’s fourth go around with the Moroney’s equipment as he leads the AMA Pro Saddlemen Rookie of the Year points chase.

After the Indianapolis Mile, Jacobsen will be heading to the AMA Pro SuperBike Weekend with his Celtic Racing team for Round 9 at the New Jersey Motorsports Park.
