n hopes of attracting big-name riders and teams
to Daytona, the American SportBike Racing As-
sociation, in conjunction with Daytona Internation-
al Speedway, have announced the breakdown of
its rather significant $175,000 purse for the March
14th Daytona 200.
With MotoAmerica opting not to visit the venue
in 2015, the American SportBike Racing Asso-
ciation has stepped in to keep road racing alive
during the Daytona Bike Week in Daytona Beach,
Florida. The top finisher will be rewarded with a
$25,000 check, with second place taking home
$20,000 and third place $15,000. The purse
pays all the way back to 40
