Cameron Beaubier won MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Race One Saturday at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas. Riding his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR on Dunlop Sportmax Slicks, the five-time Champion took the lead on lap 11 of 12 and won the race — his fifth of the season — by 1.830 seconds.
Josh Herrin led from the start on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R, but late in the race he suffered a big front-end slide that caused him to adjust his pace and settle for second place. That adjustment, however, allowed him to come away with a larger 54-point lead in the Championship standings.
In spite of sitting out with injuries since the opening round of the 2024 season, not being able to train normally, and getting a bad start, Richie Escalante was able to come through the field and score third place on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz passed Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach late in the race to get fourth.
After getting a strong start, Beach crossed the finish line in fifth.
Bobby Fong also got a good start on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha and converted it into a sixth-place finish.
Escalante’s teammate Brandon Paasch came home seventh.
Ashton Yates took eighth overall — and the Superbike Cup victory — on his Jones Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP.
Danilo Lewis took ninth on his Team Brazil BMW.
Benjamin Smith rounded out the top 10 finishers on his new FLO4LAW Racing Yamaha Superbike.
Cameron Petersen’s problems from Qualifying Two followed him into the race and led to him finishing 11th on his Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha.
