The round will take place at the Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah.[cite web|url=http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=5180&Page=1|title=World Superbike to Miller for 2008!|publisher=motorcycle-usa.com|accessdate=2007-09-14] This will be the first time SBK will race in the USA since the 2004 round at Laguna Seca. Superbike World Championship will share the weekend with the AMA Superbike Championship and its support classes. However to avoid direct comparisons between World Superbike and AMA Superbike, and because of sponsorship issues the 2 championships will race on different configurations of the circuit. World Superbikes will use the 3.048-mile Outer Track, while AMA Superbike and its support classes will use the 4.5-mile Main Track.][cite web|url=http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=30021|title=World Superbike And AMA To Run Different Courses During 2008 Event At Miller|publisher=roadracingworld.com|accessdate=2007-09-14] ]The provisional championship calendar was made up of 15 rounds but the Indonesian round in Sentul International Circuit was removed from the final calendar.[cite web|url=http://www.fim.ch/sec/documents/f_5339.pdf|title=Superbike & Supersport World Championships, Superstock 1000cc FIM Cup 2008 final calendar|publisher=fim.ch|accessdate=2008-03-04] ]Australian rider Troy Bayliss won his third Superbike World Championship riding the factory supported Ducati 1098.
