Consistency was the key on Sunday, June 29 as Team Honda Racing’s Josh Hook took out overall honours in round three of the 2014 Swann Insurance Australian Superbike Championship at Queensland Raceway.
Hook finished with second, second and third results from the three races to finish five points clear of Jamie Stauffer (1-6-4) and six ahead of Troy Herfoss (4-4-2) -- a trifecta for Honda in the premier superbike class.
“Today was a great day for us after struggling a little yesterday with set up," said Hook. "We made changes overnight and the bike worked really well in today’s races which meant I was able to score solid points. I am really happy to take the overall round win and would like to thank the team for all its hard work; it feels good to give them the win.”
Stauffer has now taken over the championship lead by 11 points from teammate Wayne Maxwell (15-3-5), while Next Gen Motorsports BMW’s Glenn Allerton won races two and three, but an accident in the opening race proved costly when he finished 18th.
In the Supersport category, South Australian Daniel Falzon produced a brilliant clean sweep, finishing ahead of championship leader Aaron Morris (2-2-2) and Aiden Wagner (4-3-3), all Yamaha mounted.
Morris’ lead in the standings has now been trimmed to five points over Falzon, with Wagner a further 10 points behind in third. Callum Spriggs (Yamaha), who was leading heading into the round, was a non-starter due to injury.
Round four of the 2014 Swann Insurance Australian Superbike Championship will take place at Winton Raceway from August 1-3.
