Shane Narbonne Secures Second Consecutive Bagger Racing League Title on Pirelli DIABLO Superbike Slicks
Narbonne Takes the Bagger GP Class Win and Championship at Daytona
ATLANTA (October 19, 2022) – Pirelli Tire North America congratulates Trask Performance Racing’s Shane Narbonne on capturing his second consecutive Bagger Racing League Series Championship in the Bagger GP class. The final round of the season at Daytona International Speedway saw Narbonne capture the Bagger GP class victory aboard his Pirelli DIABLO Superbike-equipped Harley-Davidson, which was all he needed to clinch the 2022 title.
“I want to give a huge thank you to Pirelli for the amazing support they’ve provided me all season,” said Narbonne. “The tires Pirelli produces are just amazing and allow me to go out on the track and perform at the highest level. Also, thank you to Oscar and his entire team for their support on and off of the track. Pirelli Nation, we did it!”
Narbonne displayed speed and consistency throughout the four-round championship, finishing the season with two wins and two runner-up finishes. As the checkered flag waved in Daytona, he would be crowned champion with 22 points to spare on his nearest competitor.
“The Trask team with Shane as the pilot has been very exciting to work with,” said Oscar Solis, Senior Racing Manager, Pirelli. “They have come a very long way from their first race in 2021 to now. The entire team work extremely hard day in and day out and are always up for the challenge. Congrats to Shane and every member of the Trask racing team!”
Whether it’s a superbike or v-twin, Pirelli remains the motorcycle tire of choice for North American riders looking to reach the top step of the podium and log fast laps at events and series that do not have a spec tire rule. Narbonne’s Harley-Davidson Road Glide 1753 relied on the performance of the DIABLO Superbike range, displaying the capability and performance required to compete at the highest level in bagger racing.
