osh Herrin's career has
been one of two halves.
Ditched by the factory-
backed Yamaha team at the end
of 2021, Herrin's career was on
life support before getting the
call to head Ducati's supersport
program in 2022.
Little did he know this would
signal the beginning of the
second half of his illustrious
career, one that would see the
now Californian emerge from
the wilderness to claim the 2022

-
pionship, the 2024 MotoAmerica
Superbike Championship, and,
after this past weekend, three
straight Daytona 200 victories
to elevate him into the World
Center of Racing's pantheon
alongside fellow four-time win
-
ner Danny Eslick and five-time
winners Miguel Duhamel and
Scott Russell.
Herrin's win in the 2025 Day-
tona 200 marks the first time in
the race's history that a rider has
won three in a row. He did it not
by the ease of his 2023 victory
but by playing the waiting game,
ensuring he was in the right
place at the right time over the
race's 57 laps to jam the knife
into his opponents when they
could no longer retaliate.
