There are many spectacular settings for racetracks around the world, but Miller Motorsports Park in Utah is undeniably one of the finest. Set on an undulating plain against the backdrop of the Oquirrh mountains, the track guarantees stunning images and wonderful scenery. And along with the fantastic scenery, the track also boasts some of the best names for corners on any track around the world: From Dreamboat, through Work-Out to the fast kink of Scream; from Right Hook to Knock Out and then on to Witchcraft; then the Attitudes, First, Second, and Bad; before the final flick right through Wind Up and out Release - the most appropriately named corner in the world - along the front straight.
Despite the interesting layout - good for some outstanding battles in the World Supersport class, who will not be joining the World Superbike riders in Utah as a way of containing costs for the junior class - Miller has a history of allowing a single rider to dominate proceedings. In the three visits that WSBK has paid to the circuit, each of the weekends has ended in a double win for one rider: Carlos Checa in 2008, Ben Spies in 2009 and Max Biaggi in 2010. The number of winners should really be fewer: Checa was leading both 2010 races comfortably before sidelined by a simple mechanical issue, twice denying him victory.
