Bearing races for front rotors?

A quick question- do the front rotors use bearing races? My shop manual doesn't show them using one but I wanted to double-check. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Ok, next question- do replacement rotors come with races already installed? The reason why I ask is the new rotors I got (Bendix- finally found someone who carried them) seem to have races already in them, but I can't tell for sure. The bearings fit in the rotors just fine, in fact it looks like if I did remove the races from the old rotors and tried to install them they wouldn't fit....

Every new rotor I've bought has had the bearing races already installed.

Ok, guys- thanks. It seemed to me that the races were already in there, but the last time I rebuilt a set of disc brakes (some years ago, I'll admit) I had to swap the races to the new rotors...
