Cameron Beaubier earned pole position during MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

With rain drops falling on portions of the 14-turn, 4.0-mile track, Beaubier bravely pushed his Dunlop Sportmax Slick-shod Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR to the limit and was rewarded with a lap time of 2:08.464.

That time was not only fastest among the 21-rider field, it also broke Josh Herrin’s year-old All-Time Lap Record of 2:08.795.

Herrin was leading the session with a 2:09.197 on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R until Beaubier jumped to the top of the order and bumped Herrin to second.

Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha’s three-time and defending Superbike Champion Jake Gagne improved from the ninth-fastest 2:11.968 he did in Qualifying One (Q1) to a third-fastest 2:09.564 in Q2.

Superbike rookie Sean Dylan Kelly finished Q2 in fourth with a 2:09.893 on his TopPro Racing BMW M 1000 RR.

Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach qualified fifth at 2:10.265.

Bobby Fong was sixth-quickest with a 2:10.506 on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha YZF-R1.

Row-three qualifiers included Gagne’s teammate Cameron Petersen (2:10.654) and Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammates Xavi Fores (2:10.846) and Brandon Paasch (2:10.988).

Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz rounded out the top 10 qualifiers with a 2:11.364.
