Graves Yamaha’s Jamie Hacking won his second consecutive AMA Superstock race Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

Hacking went from third to first on one lap, held the lead over Kawasaki’s Roger Lee Hayden and Tommy Hayden with a comfortable pace and pulled away late to win by 2.349 seconds.

The Hayden brothers fought back and forth in the late laps with Tommy Hayden, the elder brother, coming out with second place. Roger Lee Hayden held on for third.

Aaron Gobert came back from ninth on the opening lap to finish fourth. Josh Hayes brought his Attack Kawasaki ZX-10R home fifth, just in front of Steve Rapp, who rode a Michelin-shod Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki GSX-R750. Running off track in the middle of the race set Jason DiSalvo back to seventh. Alex Gobert recovered from a terrible start to finish eighth on his Erion Honda CBR1000RR. Damon Buckmaster soldiered through pain from a crash in Sunday morning practice to collect valuable ninth-place points. Hooters Suzuki’s Eric Wood beat Jake Holden out in a battle for tenth.

Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies led the race for the first few laps on a GSX-R750, slipped back after a mistake and continued dropping positions until he crashed out hard in turn seven on lap 12 of 17.

Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Vincent Haskovec crashed out of the race in turn seven on the first lap.
