AMA Hall of Fame Breakfast

The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame is pleased to announce that 1993 World Roadracing Champion Kevin Schwantz will be the featured guest at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame annual Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser, set for the Friday of Bike Week, March 16, at the Daytona 500 Club in the infield of Daytona International Speedway.

The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame is pleased to announce that 1993 World Roadracing Champion Kevin Schwantz will be the featured guest at its annual Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser, set for the Friday of Bike Week, March 16, at the Daytona 500 Club in the infield of Daytona International Speedway.

Texas native Schwantz, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999, rocketed to prominence as one of America's best roadracers during the mid-1980s. By the end of the decade, Schwantz had moved to international competition in the 500cc Grand Prix World Championships. He was a perennial top rider in that series and won the world championship in 1993. During his Grand Prix racing career, Schwantz racked up 25 500cc GP victories, putting him second all-time among American riders.

"Kevin Schwantz stands among America's greatest motorcycle racers, and holds a special place in the hearts and memories of a generation of racing fans," said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which raises funds for the Hall of Fame. "We're honored that one of the Hall of Fame's most decorated members is joining us at our annual Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser and will provide a first-hand perspective on his world-championship career, and the people and companies that he worked with along the way."

Schwantz, who today runs the Schwantz School, which offers performance motorcycle rider training at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Road Atlanta, said he's excited to share stories of his successful career -- and take audience questions -- at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona.

"While today my focus is on creating better, safer riders through the Schwantz School, my passion has always been competition at the highest level," Schwantz said. "The Motorcycle Hall of Fame is a great institution, and it will be great to revisit stories from the past with true enthusiasts at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona on the infield of one of the world's most famous racetracks."

The Breakfast at Daytona also includes a silent auction of unique items related to the Hall of Fame, and an autograph session with Schwantz and other Motorcycle Hall of Famers.

Matt Kenseth Wins Wild 2012 Daytona 500

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - FEBRUARY 27: Matt Kenseth, driver of the #17 Best Buy Ford, poses for photos with the Harley J. Earl Trophy in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 27, 2012 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

After a day and a half of rain and a fiery explosion that caused a two-hour delay, Matt Kenseth took home the checkered flag at the 2012 Daytona 500.

54th Annual DAYTONA 500 feb 27th 2012 Full story & photo & result 27-02-2012

Matt Kenseth captured the win at the 2012 DAYTONA 500.

In a bizarrely epic Daytona 500 that had both fire and rain, Matt Kenseth's calming influence prevailed in the early morning hours at Daytona International Speedway.

Kenseth survived a 30-hour rain delay and a two-hour fire damage delay to win his second career Daytona 500.

He pulled it off by edging Dale Earnhardt Jr. to the finish line and having Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle finish behind him.

Biffle attempted to hook up with Kenseth on the final lap, but Earnhardt Jr. stuck to the No. 16 car's back bumper – and the pair couldn't catch Kenseth.

"They just couldn't get attached, and I could get away from them," Kenseth said. "It just came down to whoever was in the front, and he had a really fast car as well."

At the finish, Earnhardt Jr. pulled off on the outside lane past Biffle and came home second.

"We couldn't ever get to Matt," Earnhardt Jr. said. "So I just tried to pull out to get the second spot if I could."

Said Biffle: "I wanted to be locked on to the 17, but I couldn't get to him."

The race will likely be remembered for the unusual circumstances more than Kenseth's victory, and the most surreal moment occurred 40 laps from the finish. It was then when, under caution, Juan Pablo Montoya abruptly spun out on the backstretch and slid up into a jet dryer located in the upper groove of Turn 3.

The contact resulted in an explosion with flames shooting high into the air and jet fuel pouring down the track – burning it all along the way. The incident required NASCAR to put the race under a red flag for just over two hours.

Both Montoya and the driver of the jet dryer miraculously escaped without injury.

"I told them when I left the pits something wasn't right and I felt a weird vibration when we were with the pack," Montoya said after being released from the infield care center. "Every time I got on the gas, it vibrated. So, I came back in and they checked the rear-end and they said it was OK.

"I was going down the back straightaway. ... I got on the brakes to travel up and while I was telling the spotter to have a look on how the rear was moving, the car just turned right."

There were plenty of other wrecks, too.

The action started fast and furious on lap 2 when a six-car crash was triggered as Elliott Sadler tapped the rear bumper of Jimmie Johnson and sent the five-time Sprint Cup champion spinning through the tri-oval.

Among those involved included defending Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, Danica Patrick, Kurt Busch and David Ragan, who hit Johnson savagely in his driver's side door. No injuries were reported

"I'm just really, really bummed to start the season this way," Johnson said. "For all the hard work that has gone into getting this Lowe's Chevrolet ready for tonight; we didn't get to complete two-and-a-half miles of green flag racing. So, I'm pretty bummed."

The wreck quickly ended the hype of Patrick's Sprint Cup Series debut. She finished in 38th place, 62 laps behind the leaders.

The bad night for former champions of the Great American Race continued when 2008 winner Ryan Newman cut a tire off of Turn 2 and spun down the backstretch. During the subsequent yellow flag, Newman lost a left-front tire on pit road and was hit from behind by AJ Allmendinger. And later, three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon lost an engine 88 laps into the 200-lap race.

After a caution for an accident between Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears set up a double-file restart with 19 laps to go, yet another wreck caught seven more cars.

In the latter accident, Joey Logano got into Jamie McMurray and triggered a multi-car crash that also collected Kasey Kahne, Aric Almirola, Tony Stewart, Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Regan Smith.

The race then restarted with seven laps to go, and Kenseth led Biffle and Earnhardt Jr. But contact between Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Joey Logano and Tony Stewart caused a big, eight-car crash at the exit of the tri-oval heading into Turn 1. That set up a green-white-checkered situation to decide the race.

Here are the results for the Daytona 500:

Matt Kenseth
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Greg Biffle
Denny Hamlin
Jeff Burton
Paul Menard
Kevin Harvick
Carl Edwards
Joey Logano
Mark Martin
Clint Bowyer
Martin Truex Jr.
Marcos Ambrose
Bobby Labonte
Dave Blaney
Tony Stewart
Kyle Busch
Terry Labonte
Tony Raines
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Ryan Newman
Landon Cassill
David Gilliland
Regan Smith
Casey Mears
David Reutimann
Elliott Sadler
Joe Nemechek
Kasey Kahne
Michael McDowell
Jamie McMurray
Brad Keselowski
Aric Almirola
AJ Allmendinger
Trevor Bayne
Juan Pablo Montoya
David Stremme
Danica Patrick
Kurt Busch
Jeff Gordon
Robby Gordon
Jimmie Johnson
David Ragan

So much for Danica Patrick's much-hyped NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut in the Daytona 500.

Patrick didn't even make it through the second lap before she was collected in a six-car crash that was triggered when Jimmie Johnson got spun by Elliott Sadler at the end of the trioval.

Matt Kenseth captured the win at the 2012 DAYTONA 500.
