Race 1 saw 22-year old Sean Dylan Kelly start from the second row on his No. 40 EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing Team BMW M 1000 RR, followed by the Tytlers Cycle Racing pair of JD Beach (No. 95) and Troy Herfoss (No. 28), who started from the 3rd and 4th rows, respectively.
Kelly had an excellent start and moved up one position, into 3rd at the first corner. JD Beach held 7th position and Herfoss 9th heading into Lap 2. On Lap 5 however, Kelly was forced to relinquish the 3rd and final podium position and was pushed back to 4th. By Lap 10, the front group of five, including Kelly, had broken away from the rest of the pack and were battling for the top spot amongst themselves. At the checkered flag, it was Sean Dylan Kelly 4th, JD Beach 7th and Troy Herfoss 9th.
Spectators of the second Superbike race would see a scary moment for Sean Dylan Kelly on lap 5 when he slid out and was thrown off the bike as it snapped back in the other direction. Tytlers Cycle Racing riders JD Beach and Troy Herfoss would finish 6th and 8th respectively while Aftercare Scheibe Racing BMW rider Ezra Beaubier would work himself through the field to finish 10th.
