Maurizio Flammini, president of WSBK rights holders FGSport, said that Miller Motorsports Park is the ideal venue to host the championship's first North American round since Laguna Seca switched to MotoGP in 2005.

"We consider Miller Motorsports Park a very interesting circuit, with top facilities compared with the American standard," he said. "I am sure that the riders, teams, sponsors and media representatives who currently participate in our events - a community exceeding 2,000 people - will very much enjoy this circuit and the State of Utah. I was particularly impressed with the commitment and enthusiasm of Governor Huntsman, and with the professionalism of Larry Miller and his staff. I am sure that the FIM Superbike World Championship event that will take place in Utah next year will be one of the best-promoted and organised ever."

"We are thrilled to bring the FIM Superbike World Championship to Miller Motorsports Park," stated track owner Larry H. Miller. "This will be the biggest international sporting event in this state since the Olympic Winter Games in 2002. We look forward to welcoming the international motorcycle racing community to Utah, as well as thousands of new fans from across the United States and the world, who will be visiting Utah and our facility for the first time."

As at Laguna Seca, the WSBK weekend will be combined with an AMA Superbike round. The AMA Superbike Championship has been a fixture on the annual schedule at Miller Motorsports Park since its opening in 2006.

"We are very excited to once again share the stage with the FIM Superbike World Championship and look forward to bringing the American fans a Superbike weekend they will cherish forever," said AMA Road Race Director Keith Kizer.

The tentative schedule has practice sessions for the AMA Superbike championship on Thursday, May 29, with practice and qualifying sessions for both WSBK and AMA on Friday, May 30.

The WSBK Superpole session plus the first of two AMA Superbike races and the AMA Superstock and formula Xtreme races are scheduled for Saturday, May 31, and both WSBK races plus the second AMA Superbike race and the AMA Supersport races will take place on Sunday, June 1.
