Danny Eslick Wins Daytona 200 Danny Eslick returned to the AMA Daytona SportBike class with a statement. The Broken Arrow, Okla., native and two-time series champ claimed pole position and then outlasted the competition to take victory at the 73rd Daytona 200.
Eslick, aboard a Riders Discount Racing Triumph, won Triumph's first Daytona 200 since 1967 by 10.975 seconds.
"That was a lot of fun," Eslick said. "That first stint was pretty incredible. We were knockdown, drag-out like it was a sprint race. Even after the pit stop, me and Dane [Westby] and [Jason] DiSalvo hooked up and that was a lot of fun. The last stint seemed like forever, but that was literally like the shortest 200 miles of my life."
