AMA SBK: Hayes Slays ‘Em In Wisconsin
Josh Hayes notched up a second double-digit victory at Road America to complete a perfect points haul weekend in Wisconsin.

Josh Hayes proved simply unstoppable for a second straight day at the Subway SuperBike Doubleheader, powering away from the field to claim the checkered flag in what can only be viewed as demoralizing fashion by his would-be challengers.
The Monster Energy Graves Yamaha superstar simply owned Road America over the weekend, rounding off his maximum points haul weekend with a conquering 13.906-second victory on Sunday afternoon.
Hayes had nearly a second advantage after just the opening lap and then really closed out the hopes of his opponents with a string of laps in the 2:11s, including a 2:11.216, which stood more than a tenth of a second inside lap record he established on Saturday morning.
The flawless ride confirmed a turning of the season as the Mississippian has taken a big step forward in his search for a third consecutive AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike title.
Hayes' Sunday win marked his sixth of the season, doubling his 2011 tally, and upping his career total to 23.
"I don't really know too much of what to say other than the same thing except the same things you always hear: big thank you to an amazing crew. I have an amazing crew, I have a great motorcycle, and it allows me to just come here and focus on one thing and that's riding my best.
"I've had a great race weekend; I've got good starts and my bike was just great from the beginning. We haven't really changed anything chassis-wise since last weekend at Miller. Things are just clicking and rolling well."
Meanwhile, Blake Young once again found himself dicing with Hayes' rookie teammate, Josh Herrin, rather than his title rival. The #79 Yoshimura Racing Suzuki hero and the up-and-coming Yamaha pilot engaged in a thrilling duel for the runner-up position, regularly trading positions and glances as they jockeyed for the spot late in the race.
Young ultimately won the last-lap battle, avenging his defeat for second at Herrin's hands less than a week ago at Miller Motorsports Park.
Young blasted across the stripe ahead of Herrin by a meager 0.039 seconds.
