Corona Extra Honda announces line-up

From Corona Extra Honda Racing

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Corona Extra Honda Racing has announced its rider and team lineup for the 2008 AMA Superbike Series. The big news is participation in SuperStock, a class the team knows very well with two prior AMA national championships. The expected competitiveness of the new-for-’08 Honda CBR1000RR convinced the team to return to the class.

Riding the Corona Extra Honda CBR1000RR Superbike will be Matt Lynn. Lynn, who hails from Georgia, rode the factory MV Augusta in the 2007 AMA Superbike class. In its first year of U.S. competition, Lynn took the MV to six top 10 finishes.

Racing the Corona Honda Superstock CBR1000RR is former Team Jordan rider Jake Holden. Holden racked up six top 10 Superstock finishes in 2007 and four visits to the podium. His final ride of the season netted him first place at Laguna Seca, a career-best performance.

Racing operations will be led by manager Dwayne McCracken, supported by crew chiefs Walker Jemison and Marty Ashmore. Bree Poland will make sure the Coronas are cold and food hot in the world renowned hospitality program!
