Ben Spies (1) got the jump on the field in the first of two AMA Superbike races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2007. Eric Bostrom (32), Miguel Duhamel (17), Aaron Yates (20), Tommy Hayden (22), Mat Mladin (66), Roger Hayden (95) and the rest give chase. The win would ultimately go to Mladin. Photo by Brian J.

With MotoAmerica set to bring AMA Superbike racing back to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, August 16-18, we\u2019re taking a closer look at past Superbike races at the iconic racetrack in Lexington, Ohio.<\/em><\/p>
Mat Mladin needed to come away from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2007 with two wins if he had any hope of keeping his teammate Ben Spies from earning the AMA Superbike Championship. Despite a weekend that teetered on the brink of rider boycott and culminated with Sunday\u2019s Superbike race not starting until 7:15 p.m., Mladin was able to do what he needed to do to keep his hopes alive.<\/p>
When all was said and done, Mladin had his 58^{th<\/sup> and 59^{th<\/sup> AMA Superbike wins in his pocket and left Mid-Ohio trailing Spies by 17 points as those two continued their domination of AMA Superbike racing.<\/p>}}
\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m not thinking about the points and that\u2019s it,\u201d Mladin said. \u201cIf I win this championship, then we\u2019ve done a really good job. We\u2019ve given a lot of points away this year. At Daytona and Utah, I made a silly mistake and crashed out of the lead. So, we\u2019ve given up a few this year. So to be in the position we\u2019re in is very good, anyway. To win the next five races would honestly mean a lot more to me than winning a championship. To win 13 races in a year \u2013 that\u2019d be pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>
Saturday\u2019s race began with Mladin botching the start and dropping to seventh. By the time he got to second place, Spies had 4.6 seconds in hand. Then came a red flag. So, what did Spies think of that?<\/p>
