JUSTIN FILICE TEAMS UP WITH R&B MOTORSPORTS
FOR THE 2009 DAYTONA 200 BY HONDA
Daytona Beach, FL, February 6, 2009 - When the bikes line up on the grid under the lights for the start of the Daytona 200 by Honda, America’s most prestigious and historical motorcycle event at Daytona International Speedway, well-known rider Justin Filice will be representing newly-formed R&B Motorsports, sponsored by Bud Light Lime.
Son of AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Jimmy Filice, Justin will compete for R&B Motorsports aboard their Triumph Daytona 675 built by co-owners Robbie Roberson & Niles Bailey. “We are thrilled to have Justin on our team,†says Roberson. “Having scored a victory in the 8 Hours at Daytona ST-class in October 2008, Niles and I are excited to see Justin do the same in the Daytona 200 by Honda.†Legendary road racer, Gene Romero, 1970 AMA Grand National Champion and 1975 Daytona 200 winner will act as the team’s Technical Consultant, sharing his vast expertise and experience with the R&B Motorsports Team.
Filice was raised around race tracks in Northern California watching his Hall-of-Fame Dad, Jimmy, compete. Justin’s road racing career began in 2005, after several years on the flat track circuit. With his win of the 8-Hours of Daytona last fall, Justin is poised to follow in his father’s footsteps, carrying on the family racing, and winning, tradition.
