Brit Chaz Davies looks like he has won the Daytona 200 after Josh Hayes, who crossed the line first, was disqualified for technical reasons.
The Welshman had being lying third behind Hayes and Neil Hodgson, but the Isle of Man resident retired after his bike decided it didn't need any of its fluids any more.
The crankshaft on the race-winning Honda was found to be "polished, surface treated and metal was removed from it," AMA Pro Racing said in a statement. "This is in violation of the 2008 AMA rulebook section 5.4."

The release cites a section of the rulebook which states that for multi-cylinder liquid-cooled machines, homologated crankshaft "maynot be altered from the originally homologated model except that the "Bearing surfaces may be polished or surface treated."
"We've appealed their decision and basically that's our side of it," Rick Hobbs, Hayes' crew chief said. "We've appealed the technical inspection and also the penalty, disqualification." He added, "At this point we're not going to make any statement on what our version is until we file the appropriate paperwork with them."
The DQ means BMW Motorrad Motorsport riders Brit Richard Cooper and American Brian Parriott move up the order to fifth and sixth places respectively. After the news was broadcasted, Berti Hauser (Director of Motorrad Motorsport) said, "The news is fantastic for sure. We were very happy with the results yesterday, so to now get fifth and sixth makes us even more happy and an even bigger reward for all the hard work the whole team have put in this week."
Rob Frost was 13th and Tristan Palmer finished 23rd.
