2023 MotoAmerica Daytona 200 - FULL RACE 

How the Daytona 200 is not a nationally televised race is beyond me. So much more exciting than NASCAR, NHRA or IMSA

didnt think the winner would be sponsored by onlyfans LMFAO

Thank you MA for sharing the replay the day after the race! And what a race it was! I hope you do this on the You Tube channel all year!

I'm confused as to your rules specifying which motorcycles are eligible for this race. Hey you guys - in the graphical display of the race order on the left of the screen - you need to also list what machine the respective rider is on. That is important to me. Thank you for all your efforts to get this great race back to where it used to be. You are doing a good job. Thanks - A Grame Crosby fan sitting here in New Zealand.

Man MotoAmerica you are killin it for us. THANK YOU soooo much for posting all of this stuff so fast. I was able to watch some of the live races Friday while working. Amazing!!!!

Appreciate the coverage & making it available for us.

670K views.. I see a whole lot of market that MAVTV isn't getting to! Sure wish MA was covered on a major channel. I have streaming TV, android box, and over air (as much as I can afford) and I still can't watch the premier racing class in the US live in 2023!

Scott 'Mr. Daytona ' Ru$$ell is the real deal 🏍 🏁 🏍 🏁

Herrin runs wide at a lot of corners, but Escalante runs a tighter line throughout the latter parts of the race. So, when Herrin goes for a tighter line for the pass, and Escalante tips it in at that same moment, it's no wonder they collide.

I was a part of the safety crew for this race on turn 5! It was awesome seeing the race up close while performing my job, and awesome seeing the full thing here too! That's me at 34:51!

Great race. Excellent coverage. Thank you so much.

Why are the stands empty,I'm sure it wasnt like that in the 70s,still a great race, ❤

That last lap was amazing, all out war till the end! Thanks for the coverage guys!

Why are the manufactures machine not identified in the rider line up ? The machines are as important as the riders.

They have Superbike races, baggers, stock, super hooligan. , the Daytona 200, man ,This Moto America guys are really into something!!!!!! I want Moto america to succeed so badly..! I want to continue to have this content.

And frankly, no one else should be using #69 other than Nicky Hayden...WTF !!!

This was the first motorcycle race I’ve watched, I’m a fan

(Not watching live ) seeing Herrin on the inside as it happened ,it looked like he caused the accident …but seeing the first replay(and everyone after) it looks like dude was pissed herrin got position and didn’t want to give up his line .. mostly because he lifts briefly then recommits aggressively to original line while pushing his elbow out instead of holding his secondary line ….not saying it looked “wrong “ just saying it looks just to be a “racing incident “ or whatever it’s called when no fault is laid… will see after restart how my guess goes 🤷🏼‍♂️😜

Man josh is such an animal. I just had him for a day of coaching a couple weeks ago before my races in SoCal and its so cool that he practices what h preaches.

Ducati power 💪🏼🇮🇹🏍️

I don't understand that when they post the leader boards and spots where the riders are, why don't they put the Bike they're riding on ??, Cause Frankly, who really gives a Shit of some rider you have no clue who it is ?? t's all about the bike, and what place it's running in.

THE GREAT "DIRTY HERRIN"

Thank you for showing this race. I watched it from end to end. I'm not sure how I feel about the re-start with ten laps to go. Everyone worked their ass off for 180 miles only to be put back at the start again for the last twenty. It just doesn't seem fair. Am I wrong somehow?

As much as I love you for uploading yet another edition of this fantastic race, I gotta tell you this... PIT STOP VIOLATION = Added post-race KNOCKING YOUR MAIN OPPONENT DOWN = Can be just a measly grid penalty in the restart That's some major BS, you got it all wrong and here's how NORMAL race organizations would deal with it: ANY MAJOR VIOLATION = A time penalty served at the next stop (if there's such a thing), a ride through, a big grid penalty in the restart (back of the field!?) OR added post-race Evil won this race, the guy that kept running wide and ended up knocking his main opponent down won this race, this edition is STAINED

I wish it would show the bike manufacturers next to the rider names.

Soooo cool seeing bikes drafting. always love watching the 200

WOW! Awesome race. Thanks for the feed.

It’s heartbreaking what happened with Escalante, but damn Herrin earned tha win, he fought for it every single second of the race.

The Daytona 200 motorcycle race is the best race off the year!

Great racing, so awesome seeing the different cc bikes preform so much better at certain areas of the track. I get there’s different levels of race tunes. Per cc. But displacement helps at times, hurts at other areas. Very cool race!!! Awesome video!

Thanks for sharing MA!

Love this race. If there were a motorcycle triple crown, this would be part of it. Daytona 200, Isle of Mann TT, and and the 8 hours of Suzuka are my "triple crown" since there is no official one.

Herrin made a clean pass The announcer complaining about “ taking out “ Escalante is wrong Escalante fell over on Herrin and almost took Josh out , glad Herrin held on . The 6 position penalty was complete crap , at least Herrin was able to still overcome that and win the race 👍

There's not a single soul in the stands!, just saying

Bom dia a todos desde Coimbra, Portugal 🇵🇹

What an exciting event the Daytona 200 is! MotoAmerica races always bring such an intense and thrilling atmosphere. The skill and precision required for this kind of race are truly remarkable. It's amazing to see how the riders navigate the track at such high speeds, showcasing their talents. The Daytona 200 has a rich history in motorcycle racing, making it a highlight for fans and racers alike. Do you have a favorite moment or rider in this year's race? 🏍🏁

Greg says Herin takes out Richie, how so? never even touched him

Thanks for the upload, great coverage!

In the interview during the red flag break, I recall Herrin saying he basically made the move to try shake Escalante psychologically. In other words, there wasn't an immediate racing imperative to make the move. Looks like he got some coaching to change his tune to "I saw an opening and went for it." Between taking out the guy who was clearly the strongest, and well prepared, and flashing his silly Only Fans helmet sponsor every chance he gets, the guy's a liability. Seriously, MA, have a little class with who you allow for sponsors.

Give me the penalty!!! I still win!!! Great job!!!

Omg I can’t wait to watch this!!

He was in front he hit the back of his bike was fair pass .

Wow what a race!

We met Brandon Paasch with our toddler at a local AMA Supermoto event. What a great friendly and upstanding ambassador for your sport. It's made us new fans.

Oww es genial esa carrera es muy asombroso de verdad

Great coverage!! This is the kinda thing that's going to get people talking about, watching, and generally more interested in Motorcycle Road Racing in the U.S.A!!! Way to go Moto America. Thank you M.A.

Congrats Josh your a hard worker . All I know. Is when Yamaha comes out with an R9 or some variant along those lines. It better be allowed in super sport. They have already left these super-sized super sports in. Because that’s what it took to finally knock the tried and true R6 off. That Ducati is murder. And it should be in its own class. That bike has no business R6’s and 636’s or even the de tuned face 750’s out there. None of them have anything for that Ducati. And it’s irritating . Cause it’s not even close

Amazing race! Thank you! MotoAmerica!

These Race officials were TERRIBLE!!!! MotoAmerica should send them off to officiate 9yr olds on Pocket Bikes! Luckily Josh Still Won anyway despite officialz trying to throw the race in Josh Hayes favor... How could anyone in there right mind have determined that Herrin did anything remotely resembling a Penalty towards the Escalante / Herrin incident?! Escalate went to hot into the corner leaving a MASSIVE GAP for Herrin to go for... ESCALANTE CLEARLY came in too Hot causing him to stand the bike up ESCLANTE got GREEDY. Instead of just going a bit wide he wanted to close the door & had a lack of Situational awareness.. Instead they penalize Herrin how ridiculous.. And Yet Josh STILL WON!!! CONGRATS j.

Remember Danny Eslick on the Big Buell racing in the 600 class.🤣 It was madness.

What a race! Herrin killed it!

Thank was a awesome race to watch in person. Made it worth riding across the state to watch

*Now this is what racing is all about!* *Thanks MA!*

This is a Good & Fair Race. The Best

Just watched Drayton 200,they said it was the best race in the world, HAVE U EVER SEEN THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES, HA GREETINGS FROM DOUGLAS

Amazing racing and it was action packed and the 10 lap restart after red flag made even more exciting. Daytona 200 never disappoints. Thanks to MotoAmerica for uploading the full race and very much appreciate it. I am from the other part of the world and there is no other way to watch MotoAmerica in India, so thank you very much.🤩👍👍

A couple of minutes in and I'm not liking the announcers who can't seem to follow the action as they keep providing way too much color and commentary, meanwhile several seesaw battles going on for the lead and through the pack that are not being dramatized. At 17 laps to go the lead changed a dozen times, exciting racing, yet the announcers natter on about rider training regimens, previous wins, bike setup, yadda yadda, I'd turn off the sound, but would miss out on the screaming motors, the same reason that electric motorcycle racing will NEVER become a thing. Also the camera placement and flow sucks. Did I mention that this track is an abortion for motorcycle racing. MotoAmerica needs a production savvy upgrade. If you look at the slomo of the Herrin/Escalante incident, it is evident that Escalante didn't anticipate Herrin taking the turn tighter to the inside and stuck with his original line of cutting the apex which, when he saw Herrin on his inside, caused a brief bobble away from Herrin, which, when checked reflexibly to keep things under control, took him the other direction back to his original line where Herrin now rode and into contact. Escalante reacted with surprise to Herrin's inside pass and that triggered the incident. Red flag at 5 laps was idiot. Two guys down, well off the track, no evident injuries, race could have continued under caution for a lap.

Pitiful that 5 minutes later the guy that crashed out is still in the top 10. Crying for MC roadracing at Daytona..... The 200 is NOT what is used to be.....

Incredible race!!! I just don't understand why Motorcycle Racing is not more popular than Nascar. Motorcycle racing is much more exciting!

What a fantastic race! Thank you MotoAmerica!!! 😃👍❤🏍

Thanks! fantastic race great coverage nice to see triump up there very professional

Thank you MotoAmerica for keeping the paddock girls! I'm so tired of organizations buckling to the PC Bull Shite.

Thanks

thanks for the race on youtube!!!!

I have seen racers been penalized for the proxemently same incident,but oposit,it could not called safe too go wide and steer into line,without checking if someone is there, so this was a race incident,at best,if both had go down,it had bee a different story,,soon the only safe place too pass is on straights,with a lot of room,cause if you been penelized for been hit att the svingarmof one you passed,at turn out ,,,well,,,,,

That was a hard earned race for Herrin . He was always being pushed by the fastest bikes and in the most challenges . His tires were on their last leg and he had to take a 6 position penalty and 10 laps were issued for the restart but he pushed on to win ! Congrats ... very exciting race to watch !

I certainly was on the edge of my seat at the end, but for the wrong reasons. Clearly race directors though Herrin was a fault or they would not have given a penalty (though it wasn't much). Letting Peterson in the thick when down a lap was a disservice to those who rode consistently fast for 180 miles. Then arbitrarily adding another 5 laps to the end of the race. There was complete confusion by everyone: the announcers, the riders, and the viewers. Even the announcers did not realize Cam had a chance to win it until half way into the restart. It is not clear the riders knew either. While it certainly made it exciting, it also was in complete disregard for rider safety. Sure, the riders know the danger and are packed at the start, but there they all have equal fuel load, and equally good tires. Letting damaged bikes out after a long down time seems to go against the idea of endurance racing. Seems like nothing should be allowed to be added to the bikes at that point, even duct tape. It turned into a cluster phuq. The race director Hanna interviewed said "we're adding 10 laps and it will be a fast start". I was like, WTF does that mean? What are the positions? What about those a lap down? Complete chaos and confusion ensued. Is there a rule book? Was it even followed? It had the look and feel of being made up on the spot with disregard for the riders safety or fairness, but the only important thing was to make it exciting. I guess it got too boring to have someone in the lead by 15-20 seconds. We can't have that! We need a photo finish. Not well run AT ALL.

WHAT A RACE!!!!

love the vid bro. keep doing your thing.

Scary moment for Escalante, I hope he's alright. That was a fast crash.

How about gallons and mph boys we are Americans and it looks like you all are not.

Wow!!!!! Balls to the wall racing for 200 miles. What a show of great talent on awesome bikes!

I don't claim to know shit but it looked to me like Escalante left the door open and should have followed his wide line through that turn instead he assumed the line was clear and took himself out.

Ducati wins Daytona 200 looks like Ducati is going for total dominance in 2023 trying to add moto america to it's dominance on the world stage it should be interesting to see how they do since Yamahas lock on moto america

Damn!!!!! I thought for sure Josh Hayes had it. 😭😭😭😭

WOW, fantastic racing all race long. LOVED IT.

I wish you'd to show the manufacturers. Like you did back in the day. AMA. Someone else had mentioned this in the comments also. Win on Sunday sell on Monday. Any rivalry sells. And that means views!

This race means nothing to me these last years when they are not 1000cc Superbikes !!!

Ton's O' Fun! Thanks for posting.

What an amazing race by Herrin. One of the best performance I've seen by a Ducati rider.

I love this , thank you for posting it.

What a race! Fantastic! Than you for sharing, @MotoAmerica !

Amazing race

The aussie supercar series have a good way of deciding in that who ever is ahead before the 50 m braking marker gets the corner or rights to said corner if anything happens seems to work for them

Add this track to MotoGP calendar.

Thank you MotoAmerica!

This is what motorsport is all about. Edge of the seat action, and most importantly, competent race direction. You listening, F1?

I’d like to see the manufacturers posted alongside the riders. It seems the bikes themselves aren’t celebrated like they used to.

Herrin made a clean pass, Escalante turned in on Herrin AFTER the clean pass was made. Why penalize Herrin for racing? Pathetic

Thanks for putting the races on RU-vid. What happened to the tribute lap to John Ashmead? It was supposed to be done by Michael Barnes on one of John's old bikes.

Haron put the big FU! To that penalty!! Awesome win!!! Perfect!!

é fantástico está é a primeira vez que eu vejo uma corrida como está parabéns a todos os pilotos.

The guy on the outside needed to go wide to avoid the hit! and he did'nt...night night!

THAT was good racing!!!

You guys still have to sort out a Transatlantic Trophy meet with the BSB in their mid-season break. Don't forget to bring the baggers too! 🤟✌🤘

They should have retired the number 69 when Nicky died.

My first time watching a bike race at these speeds ...fantastic! Now I'm hooked will have to go to one LIVE! So Thrilling! I want Herrin to win the last lap. WOW! What a race.

Always enjoy the show fellas! Any plans to upload your shows as a an audio podcast on Apple Podcasts? Survival.

The last 5 laps were intense.

Good Race!
