Roger Lee Hayden is one of three motorcycle racing brothers, and all three have risen to the top of the sport. The Hayden family name has captured the hearts and imaginations of motorcycle racing fans across the United States and around the world. Roger, Nicky and Tommy Hayden are racing royalty, the first family of American road racing. The youngest of the three brothers, Roger Lee followed oldest brother Tommy and middle brother Nicky from the amateur ranks to the professional racing scene, and dominated championships just as his brothers had done.Like so many American road racers before him, Roger pursued flat-track racing doggedly during his early teen years and in the process he won the AMA Dirt Track Horizon Award in 1998 in recognition of his blossoming skills. He then began road racing professionally immediately after his 16th birthday (per AMA licensing requirements) even though the 1999 season was well underway. He finished an impressive fifth in his first professional race. After a few years of gaining experience Roger won the AMA Supersport title in 2007For Roger Hayden, his AMA Superbike career just keeps getting better and better. Most recently, Hayden had an outstanding campaign last season and finished on the podium in all but three rounds resulting in a second-place finish in the championship. Prior to that he raced the premier class for one of Suzuki's support teams and really began to come into his own. In 2012, Hayden picked up his first-ever Superbike victory and pole position. Winning championships is a Hayden tradition and one Roger fully intends to continue.
