There were a lot of motorcycle racing celebrities at the Indy Mile Saturday night, but one I was surprised to see was Hall of Famer Jeff Ward. Wardy was in town to do expert commentary for the IMS Radio broadcast of the MotoGP (he did an excellent job by the way). Ward revealed at Indy that his final motorcycle race would be the Supermoto finale next weekend in Utah. He’s moving on to off-road truck racing. Ward is certainly one of the most versitile racers ever. His test at Daytona a few years back proved he could have done well road racing as well. After 30 years motorcycle racing will be missing one of its all-time greats when Wardy hangs up his helmet.
