Ryan Elleby, 56 More, from a press release issued by American Suzuki: Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Spies Wins Second AMA Superbike Race of Miller Weekend Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Mladin finishes fourth on Sunday Round 9 AMA Superbike Series Tooele, Utah Miller Motorsports Park May 29 June 1, 2008 Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Ben Spies celebrated the end of an excellent AMA Superbike double-header weekend at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, on Sunday. The defending AMA Superbike Champion won Sunday’s 14-lap race, after having already won Saturday’s race and capturing pole position for the weekend. Sunday’s result marks the two-time AMA Superbike Champion’s 24 career AMA Superbike victory and increases his standings in the overall championship points standings. Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Mat Mladin was right behind Spies off the start but he was overtaken over the course of the race and finished in fourth position. Six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mladin remains in second place in the overall championship points standings. Ben Spies: “After the first few laps, I saw I had a gap on Mat. But I knew Jamie (Hacking) would be strong after doing so well yesterday. So I just tried to put in some good laps on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000. I tried to keep the gap the same and just bring home the win in the end. Everything was good this weekend, and I’ve got to thank my crew for giving me such a good bike in the Suzuki. This weekend definitely helped us out in the whole championship points chase. What we’ve been doing this year has worked so far. We’ve won six in a row and we’re going for that elusive seven. That’s a record I definitely want”¦ so we’re going for it at Road America. We’ll see how it goes. We’re definitely going to give it a go and just try to keep winning races.” Mat Mladin: “I was looking forward to a good race with Ben today and my Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000 was working fine. But I reckon yesterday’s crash banged me up a little bit more than I thought. There’s nothing seriously wrong or anything but I was pretty stiff and not 100 percent. I’m not making any excuses, we just didn’t get it done today. Now I’m just going to focus on rebuilding my confidence for next week’s race at Road America, where we won a race last year and have had some success in the past.”
