With MotoAmerica set to bring AMA Superbike racing back to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, August 16-18, we’re taking a closer look at past Superbike races at the iconic racetrack in Lexington, Ohio.

In the first of two Superbike races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2010, Team Graves Yamaha’s Josh Hayes took sole possession of the AMA Superbike Championship with a win over Pat Clark Motorsports Yamaha’s Ben Bostrom. In race two, Rockstar Suzuki’s Tommy Hayden – the man who Hayes was tied with coming into the two Mid-Ohio races – reversed that and beat Hayes to win race two.
