total of six AMA Superbike week-
ends since opening in 2006.
"The racers and teams have
nothing but good things to say
about Miller Motorsports Park
and we're happy to have them on
our schedule for 2015," said Mo-
toAmerica president and three-
time 500cc World Champion
Wayne Rainey.
The Miller Motorsports Park
staff is also eager and ready to
host a round of the championship.
"We are very excited to be a
part of the inaugural season of
the MotoAmerica Road Racing
Series," said Brian Smith, Gener-
al Manager of Miller Motorsports
Park. "The organization looks
well positioned to lead North
American professional motor-
cycle road racing into the future,
and we look forward to a great
partnership."
