Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha’s Josh Hayes claimed 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing championships during the season finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park over the Sept. 13-14 weekend. Hayes went 2-1 in the twin SuperBike races to earn his fourth title in the last five years and give the YZF-R1 five consecutive championships.

In Sunday’s dry race two, Hayes charged to the front early but a mistake on lap three cost him several positions and handed control to Beaubier. Hayes quickly recovered and fought his way into an intense four-lap battle for the lead before Cameron fell trying to out-brake his teammate on lap 11, letting Hayes cruise to his 48th career SuperBike win. “I’m glad to win this last race of the season, especially after winning the championship yesterday,” he said. “It’s been an awesome season for Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha, and five straight championships for Yamaha and the R1 is just amazing!”
