With a move to road racing in 1984, Haney earned a number of top finishes in AMA and international races, including third place in the 1985 Daytona 200. After retiring at the end of the 1986 season, Haney teamed up with Kevin Schwantz as trainer/instructor, and thus added Bubba Shobert and Scott Russell to his roster of clients.
