2009 MotoGP hopeful Ben Spies wins his third consecutive AMA Superbike title.

"I am looking for a pretty good weekend and it looks like the Suzuki has been working well over the last few races, so that should help us to be competitive. It should be fun and we'll try our best to get a good result for all the American fans that will be turning up to watch us!"

Spies has an extraordinary 90 percent podium finishing record in AMA Superbike, the highest in history. Four time 500cc world champion Eddie Lawson is next closest, with an AMA Superbike podium percentage of 77.

The last AMA Superbike champion to lift the 500cc/MotoGP crown was Nicky Hayden. Hayden won the AMA title in 2002 and MotoGP World Championship in 2006.
