FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JORDAN SUZUKI READY FOR MAZDA RACEWAY LAGUNA SECA Yates and Holden to Compete in AMA Superbike Aurora, IL (July 16, 2007) - Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki riders Aaron Yates and Jake Holden look to revisit the podium when the Jordan Suzuki team visits Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, July 20-22, 2007. Last season at Laguna, Yates qualified his Suzuki GSX-R1000 for a front row start in the AMA Superbike event. Having previously won in both the Supersport and Superstock classes at Laguna Seca, Yates hopes to add a Superbike win to his list of accomplishments. The weekend's racing action includes the running of the U.S. Grand Prix (MotoGP) and an abbreviated AMA class schedule, with both Jordan Suzuki riders competing only in Sunday’s 28-lap (100K) Superbike event finale. Jake Holden hopes to make a strong showing and use his track time to prepare for the team's return to Laguna Seca for the AMA Championship’s full class schedule, September 15-17. Holden is currently 11th in overall Superstock points and has earned two second place podium finishes for the Jordan Suzuki team this season. Yates, who qualified his Jordan Suzuki Superbike for the front row in two previous rounds of racing earlier this season, hopes this is the weekend he gives his crew the elusive Superbike podium finish. Earlier this season, Yates grabbed the holeshot in race two at Road America, ran as high as second place at Infineon Raceway, and rode in third place for most of the 28-lap Superbike race at Barber Motorsports Park, proving he has the skill and Superbike power needed for a podium finish. Yates is currently seventh in overall Superbike points and only 31 points from the top five. The race's winner earns 36 valuable points towards the championship.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JORDAN SUZUKI'S AARON YATES 3rd AT MILLER MOTORSPORTS PARK Earns Podium Finish in AMA Superstock Race
Tooele, Utah (June 25, 2007) - Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki's Aaron Yates rode his Suzuki GSX-R1000 to a third place finish in Sunday's AMA Superstock race at Miller Motorsports Park. This is Yates' third podium for the Jordan Suzuki team and his second podium at this track. With team owner Michael Jordan in attendance, Yates qualified for the event with a time of 1:51.574, earning a front row start next to teammate Jake Holden, who started from third place with a qualifying time of 1:51.261. Both riders got off to a good start before the race was red flagged after Holden crashed going into turn two. Holden visited the medical center as a precautionary measure and chose not to restart the race. Yates, who was quickest in Sunday's AMA Superstock morning practice, found himself in 11th place on lap one of the restart after another rider knocked his handlebars, causing a broken clutch lever. Yates overcame the damage to his bike and moved rapidly through the field into fifth place in the 13 lap race, eventually crossing the checkered flag in third place. "It was great to have Michael here," said Yates. "I just wish our results could have been better. We'll go home, regroup and get ready for the next round." Today's podium finish puts Yates third in total points for the Championship and only six points out of second place. The next stop for the Jordan Suzuki team and the AMA Superbike Series is Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California July 20-22, 2007, featuring an abbreviated AMA Superbike racing schedule and Moto Grand Prix World Championship racing. AMA Superstock racing will resume at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in August. For more information on the team, visit the race team website at www.23race.com.
