In this week’s Throwback we travel back to June of 1995 and the AMA Superbike Championship event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. That weekend the race turned into a great three-way battle between Smokin’ Joe’s Racing Honda’s Miguel Duhamel and Mike Hale, along with Yoshimura Suzuki’s Fred Merkel. In the end it was Duhamel surging in the final laps to score the victory with teammate Hale a close second and Merkel third. Duhamel went on to win the AMA Superbike Championship that season.
