Suzuki 1-2-3 at Barber

From Team Suzuki

Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing swept the AMA Superbike podium in the second of two AMA Superbike races at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL on Sunday afternoon.

A large crowd turned out to see six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin follow up Saturday's win with a victory on Sunday. This win is Mladin's third of the season, his seventh at Barber and his 66th career AMA Superbike victory.

Defending AMA Superbike Champion Ben Spies charged hard on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 but was unable to catch his teammate and Tommy Hayden also put in an impressive ride and picked up his second podium of the year and of the weekend by finishing behind Spies.

"Today was a great day for me and my guys and it was a great day for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team," Mladin said. "For me, it was a pretty good race. I just tried to put in a good, solid ride and be consistent. Our goal all along was to come out and win as many races as possible. We've gone three for three; we've gotten both pole positions and led the most laps so I reckon that's not too bad. Hopefully, we can do it again next weekend at Fontana."
