Once again, the second AMA Pro American Superbike final from Daytona International Speedway was a full-on drama, this time in the second act it was National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Jake Zemke crossing the finish line 0.009 seconds ahead of Rockstar Makita Yoshimura Suzuki's Tommy Hayden. The victory slammed home a victorious Daytona doubleheader from the native of Paso Robles, California.

In the waning stages of the race, it looked like Hayden was poised to score his first career Superbike win, heading pell-mell up the 31-degree banking with a handsome lead over Zemke. But “Earthquake Jake” pinned the throttle of his GSX-R's and went streaking by Kentucky’s Hayden at the finish line stripe. And while Zemke and Hayden led most of the race, Jordan Suzuki's Aaron Yates, Foremost Insurance Ducati’s Larry Pegram, Team Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Blake Young, and Pat Clark Motorsports' Ben Bostrom were all there at the bitter end.

Bostrom also went for it on the white flag lap and drove for the win. He followed in Zemke's clean air on the high banks and nearly won it, but had to settle for third just 0.081 seconds off the victory. Yates placed fourth - again missing the podium - crossing the line 0.212 seconds behind teammate Zemke. Pegram and Hayes were just a short distance further back in fifth and sixth, respectively.
