Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing's Ben Spies captured his third consecutive AMA Superbike victory of the season at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California on Saturday afternoon. The 28-lap race - the first of two in the double-header weekend - saw Spies start from the pole position and take over the lead on the first lap. He went on to lead all the laps and take the win. Additionally, this weekend's pole position is Spies' third consecutive at Infineon; his second of the year; and his 18th career pole position. Securing this one makes him tied for second for all-time career AMA Superbike pole positions.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing's Ryan Dungey capped off the 2008 AMA Supercross Lites season by not only winning the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout for the second year in a row, but by also being honoured with the Rising Star Award as well. In the Las Vegas season finale event, Dungey finished second in his heat race and then came from behind to take the win in the 15-lap SX Lites main. Later in the weekend, he was honoured with the new Rising Star award at the Live Nation awards banquet.
