Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Mladin Wins Sunday’s Superbike Race at Road America
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Spies brings home second place
Round 11 – AMA Superbike Series
Elkhart Lake, WI
Road America
June 6 - 8, 2008
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Mat Mladin captured the win in the second of two AMA Superbike races at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, on Sunday. In spite of semi-wet conditions, six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mladin rode hard on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSXR1000 and picked up his fourth win of the season and his 67th career AMA Superbike victory. Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Ben Spies challenged Mladin for the lead multiple times during the 16-lap race before bringing home a second-place result. Two-time, defending AMA Superbike Champion Spies, who won Saturday’s race, currently leads the points chase in AMA Superbike and Mladin is in second place. Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Tommy Hayden is recovering from injuries sustained at a recent round of AMA Superbike and did not race this weekend.
Ben Spies:
“It was a good race, but it was just difficult to fly up in there after it had been raining all morning. Today, we went with a bit of a set-up change on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000, and between that and how green the track was, I was just happy to finish"
