here's little doubt that there
will eventually be a passing
of the baton in AMA Su-
perbike racing with veteran Josh
Hayes giving way to his hugely
talented young teammate Cam-
eron Beaubier. Hayes knows
it, Beaubier knows it and the
rest of us know it. But that time
might just be a little farther down
the road than the majority of us
thought because Hayes doesn't
seem to be in a giving mood of
late – and that was most definite-
ly the case at Mazda Raceway
Laguna Seca. Instead of giving
way, Hayes seized his fourth race
win in a row and his fifth of the
season, padding his points lead
and adding a big, bold exclama-
tion mark to the story of the 2014
season: Back off kid, the old man
ain't done yet!
Hayes was impressive on the
racetrack in the hills east of the
Monterey Peninsula, winning a
red-flag shortened race flag to
flag and crossing the finish line
with over three seconds in hand.
Yes, Beaubier was second, but
