Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ben Spies will try to make history this week-end as he will attempt to win his 7th race in a row during the next AMA Superbike Doubleheader that will be held this week-end at the Infineon Speedway in Sonoma, California.
This Saturday, Spies has the opportunity to accomplish a feat never before reached in the 33-year history of AMA Superbike as he could become the first to earn seven wins in a row. Spies, along with Suzuki teammate Mat Mladin and Honda's veteran Miguel Duhamel, are the only pilots to have reached the six-straight threshold.
"That's a record I want to win before I leave AMA Superbike," Spies said without hesitation. "I'm not going to sit here and say records like that aren't important. Championships are what I'm shooting for no doubt, but it's nice to be able to look in the record books and see your name up there with all the great riders of the sport."
