Jeremy McWilliams to take on the Yanks in AMA XR1200 series

CURRENT BRITISH XR1200 champion, Jeremy McWilliams, is set to race in the final round of the AMA XR1200 series at Motorsports Park in Alabama, US, on 25/26th September 2010.

In August, McWilliams took the UK 2010 Henderson Harley-Davidson XR1200 series championship title at Cadwell Park, Linconshire, UK. With a total of seven poles and five wins from seven races, McWilliams romped home with a 41-point lead over his rivals.

Speaking on the impending race in Alabama, Williams said: "I have had an awesome season riding my Warr's XR1200 and winning the championship was our goal!  For sure I am excited about returning to the AMA paddock and cannot wait to fire up that XR1200 for the final round of the Vance & Hines XR1200 series. Barber Motorsports Park looks like a truly fantastic track."

Other well-known entrants into the AMA XR1200 series this year include custom bike builder, Roland Sands and two top AMA riders: Danny Eslick and Jake Holden.
