John McGuiness, Kaw ZX-10R, -14 laps, DNF *known to be on a Superstock bike More, from a press release issued by Daytona International Speedway: Aussie Mat Mladin Dominates AMA Superbike DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (March 12, 2005) — Aussie Mat Mladin captured the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited in dominating fashion on Saturday at historic Daytona International Speedway. Mladin, aboard the No. 1 Yoshimura Suzuki, broke away from the competitive field early in the race and earned a 3.475-second victory in the 15-lap event on the 2.95-mile motorcycle course. “We saw what happened in the Supersport race, so we had a pretty good idea of what could happen today if you got it right,” Mladin said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t quite get the start we wanted but after a couple laps we got the lead and managed to cut some decent laps and get out there and put some gaps on everybody. “We did what we had to do to bring it home. The bike’s amazing. This is the best bike I’ve ever been on. Suzuki has done some hard work on the Superbike.” Mladin, who is shooting for his sixth AMA Superbike championship this year, earned his fourth Superbike win at Daytona and his 33rd of his AMA career, which puts him atop the all-time wins list. England’s Neil Hodgson, whose lone start at Daytona was back in 1995 when he finished 16th in the Daytona 200 By Honda, came home in second place aboard the No. 100 Austin Ducati. “I’m really pleased,” Hodgson said. “I’ve got mixed feelings. You feel happy to get this out of the way and get some good points, but you feel sickish you didn’t win.” The fight for the lone remaining podium spot in the AMA Superbike Championship was claimed by Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies, who nipped teammate Aaron Yates by .119 seconds. For Spies, it was his first career podium finish in AMA Superbike. “This was my first podium in my second Superbike race,” Spies said. “You want to win, but I’ve got to be realistic.” Motorcycle action continued on Saturday with the Daytona 200 By Honda.
