Dan Kruger and Team KYT Americas used EBC components on their Kawasaki
Canadian road racer Dan Kruger has been using EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX track/race brake pad formula on his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R for his recent campaigns, in an ongoing relationship with EBC Brakes that has lasted over a decade.
Sitting at the sharp end of the AMA/WERA Superbike/Superstock standings, Kruger recently entered the debutant six-hour N2RA Superbike race at Virginia International Raceway with the Team KYT Americas outfit, where he secured Superbike class victory alongside Brandon Cretu and Brian D’Apice.
Read how the weekend panned out in the team’s words below…
“Team KYT Americas earned a hard-fought Superbike class victory at the inaugural N2RA 6-Hour Endurance Race at Virginia International Raceway, overcoming a mechanical failure that put the team more than 20 minutes behind just minutes into the six-hour event.
“The team consisted of Rise Moto founders, Brandon Cretu and Brian D’Apice, along with KYT Americas-sponsored athlete Dan Kruger. Rise Moto serves as the North American distributor for KYT Americas.
“Cretu and Kruger are long-time friends and international road racing veterans, with both having competed at the legendary Isle of Man TT and Macau Grand Prix.”
“The team’s race took a dramatic turn just three laps after the start when a clutch failure forced an unscheduled pit stop and complete clutch replacement. The repair cost Team KYT Americas more than 20 minutes, leaving them with a significant deficit almost immediately.
“Over the remaining hours, Cretu, D’Apice and Kruger steadily fought their way back through the field, ultimately overcoming the early setback to secure first place in the Superbike class. Proving that anything can happen in endurance racing and a team should never give up!
“Following the victory, the team collectively decided to donate its entire $4,000 first-place purse to the Roadracing World Action Fund, supporting the organization’s efforts to provide Airfence and other soft-barrier protection at motorcycle racing and track-day events throughout the United States.”
