It was announced during the day that the FIM Superbike World Championship will return to Miller Motorsports Park over Memorial Day weekend in 2012, May 26-28.

In the AMA Pro National Guard Superbike Championship race, Blake Young emerged victorious in a race-long battle with defending series champion Josh Hayes to claim his third win of the year. Young, riding the No. 79 Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000, put a decisive last-lap pass on Hayes after a back-and-forth battle to claim victory by 0.757 second over Hayes’ No. 1 Monster Energy Graves Yamaha YZF-R1. Young’s teammate, Tommy Hayden, shadowed the lead pair to the checkered flag, taking the final podium spot just .059 second behind Hayes. Roger Hayden (No. 54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki) and Steve Rapp (No. 15 San Diego BMW S1000RR) completed the top five.

“For the beginning of the race I just tried to settle into a comfortable pace and just really try to hit my marks,” said Young,” and just for some reason I found myself not being able to do that. When I’d allow myself to get comfortable, Josh would get a gap that was a little bit more than that I was comfortable with him having, so I’d have to run it back down and settle back into my pace again, and it just didn’t seem like that was the way to win the race. So I made the decision that I was just going to put my head down from there, and halfway through, I just tried as hard as I could to the checkers and left it all on the track. I’m pretty comfortable racing with either one of these guys handlebar-to-handlebar like that, because they know what they’re doing there out there. And I’m glad I did that; I think it was great racing, I had a great time racing out there, and it was hopefully a good show for the fans.”

Steve Rapp, riding the No. 5 Parts Unlimited Harley-Davidson XR1200, won the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 championship race in the series’ first visit to Utah, crossing the finish line just 0.975 second ahead of defending series champion Danny Eslick’s No. 1 RMR Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Racing entry. Chris Fillmore, polesitter Michael Barnes and Michael Beck rounded out the top five.

The next major event at Miller Motorsports Park will take place on June 25-26, when the Lucas Oil Off Road Series makes its second visit to Utah. The series will compete on a brand-new high-speed off-road course constructed on the west side of the facility adjacent to the existing rock-crawling course. Also part of the weekend will be the third annual CruiserFest, a gathering for Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts.
