AMA Superbike: Laguna Seca Preview -ozzy go- motorcycle-usa.com

This year's racing has been closer than ever in all AMA premier
racing series, both on dirt and on asphalt. Roadrace fans have
been treated to a battle royal in both AMA Superbike and the Pro
Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei. The
entire six-month long season all comes down to Sunday's last
race, which will decide who will bring home the big championship
bonus in addition to the coveted Number-1 plate next year.

Yoshimura Suzuki teammates Ben Spies and Mat Mladin have
raced wheel to wheel all season long. Mladin and Spies have been
head and shoulders above the rest of the Superbike field - with
174 points separating the Yoshimura Suzuki duo from their closest
competitor, Honda's Jake Zemke. After teeter-tottering back and
forth in the point's battle, this year's championship all boils down
to one winner-take-all race at the picturesque Mazda Laguna Seca
Raceway in Monterey, California - a track that both riders know
well.

Spies has been the model of consistency all year. The young
Texan has been on the podium all 10 rounds, finishing no worse
then second place. Mladin on the other hand has had somewhat of
a less consistent season. The six-time series champ's season
started off poorly with a 10th place finish at Daytona - his worse
finish of the season. click on ozzy go to the full story
