THE CHASE IS ON!
Ben Spies was playing catch-up on his Suzuki GSX-R1000. Spies knew he didn’t have much time. Only a few laps remained in the 2008 American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Superbike race at California’s Auto Club Speedway.
At the start of the race, Mat Mladin had jumped into the lead. By the 24th lap, Mladin’s lead over Spies had grown to more than three seconds. That’s when Spies started chipping away at the gap.
Several sport bike racers leaning in as they turn a corner on a race track.Enjoying the preview?
