Vengeance Motorcycles staff and Nascar drivers Greg Biffle, David Green and Steve Grissom got together for a motorcycle ride before the Stater Bros. 300 / Auto Club 500 this weekend. The drivers all met at the Vengeance factory in Mira Loma Friday morning for a tour of the Vengeance production facility. After the tour, everyone picked out a new Vengeance chopper and took a ride through the Los Angeles County countryside up to the California Speedway in Fontana, California. Although the ride was short, the drivers all had fun and got a little taste of the two-wheel style v-twin power provided by the Vengeance S&S 113ci power plants.
Greg Biffle driver of the Busch series Duraflame #66 car and the Nextel Cup Series National Guard / Post It #16 car was overhead chatting with Fox News later in the day about how much fun he had on the ride with Vengeance Motorcycles.
David Green driver of the Busch Series Kleenex #27 car remarked how relaxed he was after taking the morning ride before practice. Steve Grissom driver of the Busch series Advil Liqui-Gels #49 car was grinning from ear to ear after riding with his buddies.
“Choppers and Nascar drivers are a natural combination, these drivers love high-performance machines and they really seem to enjoy the power and the style of this type of custom motorcycle. It was a pleasure to spend some downtime with these guys and share of our world with them.” Stephen C. Sharpe president of Vengeance was quoted as saying.
Also participating in the ride was Eric Barash the Vengeance dealer in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Eric is one of the partners of Brewco Motorsports who field both the Duraflame and Kleenex cars. Eric flew in from Florida to participate in the ride and proudly displayed the bikes at their team trucks in the garage area all weekend in Fontana.
“It’s amazing to see the reaction at the track when you bring in this type of bike. It seems everybody here loves fast cars and fast bikes.” Eric remarked.
The weekend was capped off on Sunday when Greg Biffle drove the National Guard / Post It #16 car to his 3rd win in Fontana. David Green finished 14th on Saturday to move up to 8th in the Busch Series points standings. Unfortunately, Steve Grissom had a disappointing day finishing 36th in the Advil Liqui-Gels #49 car.
Watch for this ride and interviews with the drivers on an upcoming episode of American Thunder which airs Tuesday nights at 8 pm on the Speed Channel.
