Hayden Gillim won MotoAmerica Steel Commander Stock 1000 Race Two Sunday at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas. Gillim, riding his Disrupt Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000R, battled for the lead with Travis Wyman until lap six of eight. That’s when Gillim took control and rode home to a victory that also earned him the 2023 Stock 1000 Championship.
Wyman was a close second on his Travis Wyman Racing BMW M 1000 RR.
Diego Perez rode his PDR Motorsports Kawasaki ZX-10R to third place by holding off Kaleb De Keyrel (fourth) and his Orange Cat Racing BMW and Benjamin Smith (fifth) and his Benjamin Smith Racing Yamaha.
De Keyrel’s teammate Ezra Beaubier, the Championship point leader coming into the weekend, missed both races at COTA due to illness.
