Spies Back On Top As Superbike Battle Roars Into Utah
15 June 2007
Ben Spies is one tough hombre. The defending AMA Superbike Champion crashed in warm-ups for a race earlier this month in Elkhart Lake, Wis. He was bruised and battered, lost to archrival and Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Mat Mladin, and dropped to second in the series standings for the first time this year. The next day in the second round of the Wisconsin doubleheader Spies could hardly walk and had to be helped to his bike. Yet in spite of his obvious pain, Spies rode a brilliant race in the rain and won convincingly to take back the championship lead. Now the series comes to ultra-fast Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, and Spies hopes he can find a way to hold on to his thin series lead at the Honda Summit of Speed doubleheader round on June 22-24.
