Superprestigio of the Americas Rider Spotlight - Jake Johnson
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 4, 2015) - Two-time Grand National Champion Jake Johnson is one of the original invitees to compete in the inaugural Superprestigio the Americas. Johnson went into semi-retirement this summer, but was called back into action by the Factory Harley-Davidson team when Brad Baker was injured.
Johnson immediately made an impact as he was the top qualifier at the Springfield Mile and led the race coming out of the final turn before getting passed by Bryan Smith and Jared Mees at the last second.
Johnson is somewhat of a short track specialist with six of his 18-career AMA Pro Flat Track wins coming on the smaller tracks, and these credentials are why he received an invitation to the inaugural Superprestigio of the Americas.
The Superprestigio of the Americas (SOTA’15) will bring together leading motorcycle racers from various motorcycle-racing disciplines from around the world to compete head to head with the stars of AMA Pro Flat Track on a specially-designed indoor short track at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 21, 2015. The special race is part of the big Las Vegas doubleheader weekend with the AMA Pro Flat Track finale taking place the night before Nov. 20, 2015 on the same track. For tickets and additional information regarding the special event, fans are encouraged to visit www.superprestigio.com or call toll free 1-844-722-6453.
