Herrin Battles To Daytona 200 Victory

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — With a thrilling dive to the inside apron as a pack of five bikes prepared to cross the finish line within a half-second of each other, Josh Herrin captured the second Daytona 200 championship of his career 13 years after first topping the podium. The 13 years between wins is the longest gap between Daytona 200 victories in the history of the race. Herrin sat on pole for the 81st running of the Daytona 200, but the race wasn’t straightforward for the rider of the No. “I’m just trying to figure out where I could win the race from. The grid penalty didn’t hurt Herrin as he made his way back to the lead a lap after the restart. A battle reminiscent of Herrin and Escalante earlier in the race developed between Herrin, Hayes, Gillim and Petersen. Coming to the white flag, Herrin led a tightly packed together lead group of seven riders.
