2011 AMA Pro Superbike New Jersey Motorsports Park race report/results—Young gets win, Hayes gets title

Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes won the AMA Pro Superbike title that went down to the final lap at New Jersey Motorsports Park.MILLVILLE, NJ, SEPT 4 - The AMA Pro Road Racing Superbike championship was one of the most exciting ever, with the fight for the number one plate coming down to the final half lap of the final race of the all too short season.

With just over half of the 2.25-mile New Jersey Motorsports Park road course to be covered the championship was in the hands of Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Blake Young. In order to wrest the title from Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes, Young not only had to win Sunday's season finale, but he also had to lead the most laps and he needed Hayes to finish fourth or worse, and that's exactly where things stood with just over half a lap to go.

Young, who'd been a disappointing fifth on Saturday, was leading, narrowly, but leading all the same. Second was National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Roger Lee Hayden, Jordan Suzuki's Ben Bostrom was third, then came Hayes, watching his championship hopes slip away with every corner.
