PROGRAMMING NOTE: The AMA Pro Road Racing action from Road America will air on SPEED at 11:00pm ET on Saturday, June 3rd and Sunday, June 4th.
The fast and flowing 4.05-mile natural road course at Road America will serve as the theater of war for AMA Pro Road Racing this weekend as each of the Series' four title chases continue to heat up. An iconic American motorsports facility with a rich history in motorcycle racing, Road America is also one of the most exciting and challenging tracks on the AMA Pro Road Racing calendar. Since 2009, there have been five different AMA Pro National Guard Superbike victors on three different brands in the last six race finals.
Once again leading the AMA Pro National Guard Superbike charge heading into the event weekend, Josh Hayes (Monster Energy Graves Yamaha) put on another masterful display last weekend at Miller Motorsports Park to recapture the points lead from Blake Young (Yoshimura Racing Suzuki). Heading to Young's home track, Yamaha's leading man now leads the Wisconsin 194-187 in the standings and each of this season's seven wins have been claimed by one of the two riders.
The results of last year's National Guard Superbike doubleheader in Elkhart Lake would fit right in with the pattern seen in 2012; Hayes took pole with a time of 2:11.913, Young took Race 1 by a slim margin over Hayes on Saturday and Hayes topped the box in Race 2.
Despite an unfortunate lowside while challenging for a podium finish last weekend at Miller Motorsports Park, Roger Hayden (National Guard Jordan Suzuki) is still holding down third place in the Championship chase with 114 points. Just five points behind, Hayes' teammate Josh Herrin (Monster Energy Graves Yamaha) grabbed an impressive second-place result last weekend after a thrilling race-long battle with Young.
Larry Pegram (Foremost Insurance Pegram BMW) sits fifth in the standings and is the third and final active National Guard Superbike rider with a Superbike win to his credit at the facility. Three other Superbike riders have class victories here: Herrin (2011 GoPro Daytona SportBike Races 1 and 2), Chris Fillmore (2011 Vance & Hines XR1200 Series) and Danny Eslick (2010 Vance & Hines XR1200 Series).
Geoff May (Team Amsoil/Hero EBR) and Danny Eslick (Hero Moto Corp. EBR) hold positions six and seven in the standings, respectively, and are also on a homecoming of sorts, as Erik Buell Racing is headquartered in nearby East Troy, Wisconsin. The team has posted impressive qualifying and race results of late including two front-row starting positions at Miller Motorsports Park and three podium results in the previous four race finals.
Steve Rapp (Attack Performance Kawasaki), Chris Clark (Yoshimura Racing Suzuki) and Chris Fillmore (Team HMC KTM) round out the top ten.
The Subway Superbike Doubleheader will take place this weekend, June 1-3. AMA Pro National Guard Superbike will take to the track for the first practice session Friday, June 1 at 12:00 p.m. and will be featured in 13-lap races on Saturday, June 2 at 3:15 p.m. local time and Sunday, June 3 at 3:30 p.m. local time. SPEED will broadcast each of the races in same-day delayed broadcasts scheduled to begin at 12:00 midnight ET/9:00 p.m. PT on Saturday and Sunday.
