E
stenson Racing announced
its new director of racing op-
erations—Tommy Hayden. In his
new position, the two-time AMA
Supersport Champion (2004
and 2005) will oversee the
team's race operations, includ-
ing everything from the nuts and
bolts of the team to the market-
ing side with sponsor relations
and sponsorship development.
Hayden was the Global Road
Racing Manager for Monster
Energy.
"I have become more and
more excited about this project
everyday that has passed since
making the decision to join
Estenson Racing," Hayden said.
"To think back over the years on
everything I have been involved
with in the motorcycle racing
industry and now for it to come
full circle back to flat track where
it all started, it puts a smile on
my face. With a five-rider team,
it is going to be a big project to
get the infrastructure built and
everything put together in the
short amount of time before the first race in Daytona, but I am confident that we
will show up there ready to compete at a high level."
"I'm so excited to have Tommy on board," Team Owner Tim Esentenson said.
"After working together for a couple of weeks, I've already elevated his role to
director of race operations. It all came together for me from the understanding of
his history as a successful racer and his background with marketing and sales. It
made sense to make him the manager of the whole program."
For 2019, Estenson Racing has more than doubled in size with five riders and
plans to compete in all three classes of American Flat Track. With its partnership
with Attack Performance, Estenson Racing will make its first foray into Mo-
toAmerica with JD Beach in Superbike. CN
Tommy Hayden
has been named
director of racing
operations for
Estenson Racing.
