ceased to be the championship's title sponsor, as it had been since 1998. The electronics manufacturer HANNspree took over as the title sponsor in 2008 and this arrangement remained in place until 2010, with the championship officially known as the "HANNspree SBK Superbike World Championship".
The Superbike World Championship
returned to the United States
on June 1, 2008, for the 2008 6th round
of the Superbike World Championship. The round took place at the Miller Motorsports Park
near Salt Lake City, Utah
. This was the first time SBK had raced in the United States since the 2004 round at Laguna Seca. The Superbike World Championship shared the weekend with the AMA Superbike Championship
