Mat Mladin wins at Road America
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Mat Mladin overcame cold, damp conditions to take his ninth from a possible 10 AMA Superbike wins of the season in the first race of the double-header weekend at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
The six-time AMA Superbike Champion started from pole position and got off to a conservative start in the wet. Even so, he took the lead within several laps and led all the way to the race’s end. This season, Mladin has captured all six pole positions in AMA Superbike, which means he has a career total of 61. Additionally, this victory is Mladin’s 81st career AMA Superbike victory.
