Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha rider Cameron Beaubier was quickest in MotoAmerica HONOS Superbike Free Practice Three, but like it did on Friday, Beaubier’s YZF-R1 Superbike emitted smoke out of the tailpipe during the session, causing him to be flagged off the track.
The smoking issue is believed to have been caused by too much oil in his engine, and Beaubier’s crew was seen draining oil from the bike on pit lane mid-session on Friday and Saturday.
