The defending AMA Superstock Champion is also the first rider to get back-to-back Superstock wins at Road America. “The Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 is just going really well at Road America,” said Yates. “I’d really like to say thanks to my guys for putting me on such a fast bike.” Starting out the weekend on Saturday, Yates had a good qualifying session on his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. Posting a 2:14.567 lap time, the Georgian qualified on the front row of the grid in third position. Sunday’s main event on the undulating four-mile circuit saw Yates get a good start and settle into third place. He put his head down on his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 and moved up into second place halfway through the race. With just a few laps to go, he made a daring pass to take the lead and held it to the race’s end. “I wasn’t really as comfortable as I would have liked to be in the race,” said Yates. “The last three or four laps were really stressful for me. But I tried to go as hard as I could because I knew Jamie (Hacking) would be charging hard. I just tried to concentrate on going forward, not backward. I’m just glad to get the win and get some points.” Going into the Miller Motorsports Park race later this month, Yates is just nine points out of the championship lead.
