U. S. REPRESENTATIVE BISHOP (R-UT) INTRODUCES RESOLUTION HIGHLIGHTING WORLD SUPERBIKE EVENT IN UTAH SCHEDULED FOR MAY 29-JUNE 1

Washington, D.C., May 15, 2008 - Congressman Rob Bishop (R-UT) has
introduced a resolution (H. Res. 1121) commending Miller Motorsports
Park, the County of Tooele and the State of Utah for hosting the first
FIM Superbike World Championship race on American soil in four years.
The races will be held May 29-June 1 and will feature the teams and
riders from one of the top three international racing series. The
resolution, H. Res. 1121, also salutes the riders and teams that compete
at a professional, world-class level in the FIM Superbike World
Championship.


The resolution notes that the race weekend will be the biggest
international sporting event in Utah since the Olympic Winter Games in
2002, and the most significant racing event in the history of the State.
Bishop commented, "As stated in the resolution, I am confident that
Tooele will be an excellent host to the teams, riders and spectators who
will attend the event, and I am pleased that motorcycle racers and race
fans from home and abroad will have the opportunity to enjoy all that
Utah has to offer including remarkable natural scenery and premier
outdoor recreation."


Miller Motorsports Park CEO/General Manager Alan Wilson stated, "It is a
distinct honor to be recognized for our efforts in bringing the FIM
Superbike World Championship to Miller Motorsports Park, marking the
series' return to


North America for the first time in four years. It is quite an
achievement for us, as

well as for Tooele County and the State of Utah that the series
organizers have chosen to bring this event to our facility. We very much
appreciate the Motorcycle Industry Council's efforts on our behalf, and
we look forward to a very successful event."



"The FIM Superbike World Championship returning to the U.S. is an
exciting opportunity for motorcycle race fans and will highlight the
sport of motorcycling for all riders," commented Duane Taylor,
Government Relations Specialist with the Motorcycle Industry Council.
He continued, "The resolution offers an opportunity for Congress to
recognize this international event that will draw tens of thousands of
fans, riders and teams from all over the globe."



Congressman Bishop urged motorcycle race fans and all motorcyclists to
contact their Members of Congress and urge them to sign on to H. Res.
1121 as cosponsors. "Utah is proud to host an international race of
this magnitude, but in truth this is the U.S. round of the FIM Superbike
World Championship and as such belongs to all Americans."
