No. 6 Beaubier began the first Steel Commander Superbike race from pole position, looking to build on the success of 1st and 2nd place finishes at the MotoAmerica Superbike race weekend at Road Atlanta. Lap 3 of the first race saw Cameron make an unusual mistake and crash out of the race however, putting pressure on both the team and rider to excel in Race 2 and 3. JD Beach, Beaubier’s new Tytlers Cycle Racing teammate, brought his No. 95 BMW M 1000 RR home in 7th position while No. 40 BMW rider Sean Dylan Kelly and TopPro Racing Team finished in 4th.
Race 2 would show that the crash from the first race was forgotten and Beaubier and Tytlers Cycle Racing captured the win with Sean Dylan Kelly and TopPro Racing bringing their BMW M 1000 RR across the finish line in 2nd position. Beaubier started Race 2 from pole and built a commanding lead before capturing the win. Kelly started from 6th before riding his way onto the podium. It was unfortunately, JD Beach’s turn to experience bad luck as he went off track on lap 8 of Race 2 and DNF.
Beaubier and Kelly continued to ride their BMW M 1000 RRs to perfection in the third race of the weekend, finishing 1st and 3rd, and moving Beaubier and Tytlers Cycle Racing into the points lead of the Steel Commander Superbike Series with Kelly and TopPro Racing just behind in 3rd position. JD Beach is currently in 9th overall this season.
The second win of the weekend was Cameron Beaubier’s 62nd Superbike win, catapulting him into second overall among all AMA Superbike winners in history.
