KAYLA YAAKOV Locks Down 8th in Supersport Time Attack at Daytona Speedway

March 7, 2026

• KAYLA YAAKOV secured 8th place in the high-stakes Supersport Time Attack at Daytona, earning herself a crucial third-row starting position for the 84th running of the DAYTONA 200. Racing for Rahal Ducati Moto with Droplight, she held her ground against an elite field where only the top 12 riders advanced to the final qualifying shootout.
• The Supersport Time Attack saw riders reset their previous qualifying times and battle for pole position in a 15-minute session that separated the contenders from the pretenders. While Tyler Scott claimed his third consecutive Daytona pole with a blistering 1:48.908, YAAKOV proved she belongs in this company by securing her spot on the third row alongside veteran Josh Hayes and rising star Wristin Grigg.
• YAAKOV’s performance puts her in prime position for the Great American Motorcycle Race, starting from 8th on the grid in what promises to be a fiercely competitive field. With the DAYTONA 200 set for March 7 at the “World Center of Racing,” she’ll be looking to make her mark in one of motorcycle racing’s most prestigious events aboard her Rahal Ducati Panigale V2.
