Beaubier Ties Hayes With 89th Career Victory

BRASELTON, GA (May 4, 2025) – Cameron Beaubier is now tied with Josh Hayes atop the all-time win list across all AMA road race classes, with the five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion racing to his 89^th career victory on Sunday at Road Atlanta. The win was his third of the young season and his 68^th career AMA Superbike victory.

Beaubier and his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR nailed the holeshot and wasted little time gapping the field, ending his weekend with two victories – one in the rain on Saturday, and today’s race in the dry.

The man who came closest to matching Beaubier was Bobby Fong, with the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing rider clawing into Beaubier’s lead mid-race and keeping the pressure on to the finish, where he eventually ended up 2.3 seconds behind at the completion of 19 laps.

Fong was safe in second, with some 10 seconds in hand over Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin, who matched his third-place finish from Saturday. Fong, meanwhile, was 11^th in the rain on Saturday after crashing and remounting.

Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly was fourth, some three seconds behind Herrin and another three seconds ahead of Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne. Gagne, who finished a close second to Beaubier in the rain on Saturday, had his hands full in the closing laps with Kelly’s teammate Richie Escalante.

Escalante ended up just .197 of a second behind Gagne at the finish line.

A day after earning his career-best Superbike finish of fifth, FLO4LAW/SBU Racing’s Benjamin Smith raced to seventh on Sunday, holding off the fast-closing twosome of Hondas ridden by Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates and Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim. Yates and Gillim came up a bit short and finished eighth and ninth, respectively.

Tenth place went to Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach, who in the process kept his perfect Superbike Cup record intact with a fourth straight victory.

With two rounds and four races in the books, Beaubier leads Gagne by 23 points, 95-72. Herrin is third with 59 points, three more than Fong. Kelly rounds out the top five with 52 points.
