Dafan Zhang Wins ASRA Solo Challenge at VIR
09.24.06
Fresh on the comeback trail, Dafan Zhang returned to the beautiful Virginia International Raceway on Sept 24, 2006 to compete in the American Sportbike Racing Association's Team Challenge Event. The race pits teams and solo riders together for a 69-lap or 2-hour long race. It was a challenge indeed.
Under a cloudy sky and threats for rain, Dafan completed 61 grueling laps and emerged as the clear Solo Challenge winner, one lap up on 2nd place solo rider and 3rd overall among all the team and solo entries while remaining on the lead lap the entire race.
This was a special victory as it was the first victory for Dafan since his near life-ending crash and resulting injuries at Summit Point in 2003. The subsequent semi-retirement has given Dafan time to improve his tuning knowledge, fitness and his riding, and ultimately allowing this comeback to racing to take place.
From an ASRA press release:
"In the A&J Recognition Solo Challenge, Dafan Zhang took his first national win in convincing fashion by more than a lap ... Only at Daytona have we seen a A&J Solo rider finish in contention for the Overall win so Dafan Zhang’s performance at VIR was one for the record books."

Dafan would also like to thank all his other sponsors and supporters. DafanZ Tuning. Team Pro-Motion. Crossroad Powersports and the Kawasaki Team Green Program. Galfer Brakes. GP Suspension. Nate Panek, Krishna Pribadi and Henry Deluca for all your help this weekend.
