DECATUR, TX (March 23, 2012) The 2012 AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Grand National Series presented by Motorcycle-Supserstore.com kicked off with back to back Short Track Nationals that was full of action, side by side racing, explosive fireworks and plenty of drama during the 71st annual Daytona Bike Week at the Daytona International Speedway.
 
Kenny Tolbert Racing made their debut as a new team, new rider, new Kawasaki motorcycles and after two nights of bar banging short track racing came away with a 5th, 3rd and sitting 6th overall in the GNC points standings.

Just two days before loading the truck for the trip to Florida, Kenny and Brad picked up their new 2012 Kawasaki to begin converting the motocross bike to a championship caliber flat tracker. “The stock 2012 450cc Kawasaki was very impressive right out of the box,” said Kenny Tolbert. “We lowered the bike, put a D&D exhaust, played with the electronics, threw it in the truck and went to Daytona.” 

With Daytona the first race on a Kawasaki and the opportunity to work with Kenny, Brad had plenty to say, “I am so impressed with this team. Kawasaki is new to both Kenny and I so we struggled a little in the beginning but kept working together on different combinations. Kenny understands so much it is easy to communicate.”

 

Next Race: May 26-27 Springfield, IL
