Spies Achieves Impressive Sixth In Latest MotoGP Cameo
September 17, 2008
Ben Spies continued his impressive venture into the MotoGP series last weekend with a personal best finish of 6th place at the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP.
It was the Rizla Suzuki rider’s third foray into the premier racing series, having previously finished 14th in his MotoGP debut at the British round in June followed by a slightly better 8th the following month at Laguna Seca.
Spies had qualified 5th for the Laguna Seca race ahead of the other Rizla Suzuki pair of Chris Vermeulen and Loris Capirossi, also beating them both in the main race.
The three-time AMA Superbike Champion, feels his performance should be enough to earn him a seat in MotoGP.
“Like I’ve said before, I think I can do this - I can run with these guys,” Spies explained. “We went to a track where, at the end of the day, they were as comfortable on it as I was and we were right there on the brink of finishing in the top five. I think we can do it and I’m looking forward to the future.”

Spies Happy With AMA Title
September 9, 2008
Ben Spies has announced that winning the AMA Superbikes Championship for fourth time has made him and his team very happy, even though the controversy surrounding the win (none of it their own making) has put a slight dampener on the news.
Spies was originally expecting to be crowned champion on the last race day of the season, requiring just a 19th place finish to ensure he won the title. However AMA Pro Racing, the team behind the championship, announced on Friday that Spies’ teammate Mat Mladin’s disqualification from the Virginia races will stand, ending the battle for top spot early.
“Obviously this is not the ideal way for me to clinch the championship,” said Spies, who set a new AMA Superbike record of seven straight wins this summer. “Still, I’m happy for my crew who worked their butts off this year. It was a great season. We overcame a lot to win the title. I’ve won it just about every way imaginable now.”
The final race of the AMA Superbike season will be on September 28 at Laguna Seca.
