Cameron Beaubier will start the MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course from pole position. Beaubier, a five-time Champion of the class, earned the best spot on the starting grid by recording a 1:23.904 with his Dunlop-shod Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR.

Former MotoGP and World Superbike regular Loris Baz was second-fastest with a 1:24.026 on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R.

Superbike rookie Sean Dylan Kelly claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a time of 1:24.179.

Baz’s teammate Josh Herrin, the current Championship point leader, will start fourth thanks to his lap of 1:24.241.

Three-time and defending Superbike Champion Jake Gagne was fifth-fastest with a 1:24.852 on his Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1.

Brandon Paasch qualified sixth with a 1:25.080 on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.

Starting on row three of the grid will be Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach (1:25.153), Gagne’s teammate Cameron Petersen (1:25.209), and Wrench Motorcycle Yamaha’s Bobby Fong (1:25.299).

Due to overnight rains reducing the amount of available grip Saturday morning, none of the top-10 riders went faster in Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday morning than they went during Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday.

Beach, Fong, Gagne, and Petersen all crashed during Q2 on Saturday. All four riders were seen walking away from their crashes.
