After saying Heartland Park Topeka didn’t meet safety standards, series leader Mat Mladin opted out of this weekend’s American Superbike race. But that was only the first of his media blitz. The Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider with 14 years of AMA racing under his leathers also announced his retirement after the season’s commencement at New Jersey Motorsports Park. He didn’t give any concrete details about why he’s leaving, or what he plans to do, but had previously announced some frustrations with the Daytona Motorsports Group, who run AMA Pro Racing.
