BRASELTON, Ga. — Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Cameron Beaubier turned in a masterful wet-weather riding performance in Saturday’s MotoAmerica Superbike race at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, with the five-time champion putting in the fastest two laps of the race on the final two laps to thwart the efforts of Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Jake Gagne.
The win was Beaubier’s 10th MotoAmerica Superbike win at Road Atlanta and the 67th Superbike win of his career. It was also his first wet-weather race win on the BMW M 1000 RR.
Beaubier led every bit of the race, but not without pressure. Gagne latched on to the back of Beaubier and didn’t let go, trailing the BMW for all 15 laps. Gagne and his Yamaha YZF-R1 were quicker on the first part of the 2.54-mile track, but Beaubier had him covered on the rest, making it difficult for Gagne to get close enough to attempt a pass.
Those two cleared off at the front, leaving Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin to finish third, some 12 seconds behind. Herrin rode mostly alone, but a mistake allowed Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly to close in and almost beat the defending MotoAmerica Superbike Champion.
At the finish line it was Herrin by just .147 of a second over Kelly.
FLO4LAW/SBU Racing’s Benjamin Smith put in an impressive ride to a Superbike career best finish of fifth. Smith battled with and beat Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante by 1.1 seconds.
The Real Steel Honda pairing of Hayden Gillim and JD Beach ended up seventh and eighth, respectively. Aftercare Scheibe Racing’s Danilo Lewis and Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates rounded out the top 10.
Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong ended up 11th after crashing out of third place and remounting to score five valuable points.
The top four finishers were mounted on four different makes of motorcycle: BMW, Yamaha, Ducati, and Suzuki.
After three races in the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, Beaubier leads Jake Gagne by nine points, 70-61. Herrin is third, 27 points behind Beaubier and four points ahead of Kelly. Fong rounds out the top five in the title chase, three points adrift of Kelly.
Beach, meanwhile, keeps his unbeaten streak alive in the MotoAmerica Superbike Cup, with three wins on his Stock 1000-spec Honda CBR1000 RR Fireblade SP.
