Beaubier and Kelly set the fastest times for all Superbike practice and qualifying sessions, allowing both to start both Steel Commander Superbike races from the front row.
Race 1 was a tough start for Beaubier, which forced back in the field, and he needed to push hard to catch the leaders. JD Beach was running in third and Kelly in sixth as Beaubier worked his way back to join his teammate at the front. Beaubier and Beach were in third and fourth respectively when, with two laps to go, the second place rider went off-course, allowing both Tytlers Cycle Racing riders to capture the second and third podium spots.
In Race 2, Sean Dylan Kelly and Cameron Beaubier both had excellent starts with Kelly getting the advantage and propelling himself into the lead. The race turned out to be a very close battle between Kelly and the Ducati rider until, with 2 laps to go, Kelly was pushed back to second position. Beaubier would finish third.
Stock 1000 riders did not race in Mid-Ohio.
