Cameron Beaubier won MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Race Three Sunday afternoon at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas.
With the Championship on the line, Beaubier, Josh Herrin, and Sean Dylan Kelly battled it out for 10 laps in the scorching heat and humidity. Beaubier and Herrin swapped the lead back and forth nearly every lap, but in the end Beaubier was able to get his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW to the checkered flag first to win his sixth race of the season and keep his title hopes alive.
Herrin pushed all the way to the end and nearly crashed his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R on the final lap, but he was able to save it and hang on to finish second. Although a win would have clinched the Championship for Herrin, he heads into the season finale doubleheader at New Jersey Motorsports Park with a 46-point lead over Beaubier.
After taking his career-first win in Race Two, rookie sensation Kelly was a close third on his EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing BMW in Race Three.
Richie Escalante pushed forward at the end of the race to claim fourth place on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz ran fourth for much of the race but slipped to fifth in the final laps.
Escalante’s teammate Brandon Paasch was in the fight for fourth until he had an issue three laps from the end that relegated him to sixth.
Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach got seventh.
Ashton Yates took eighth and the win in the Superbike Cup category.
Benjamin Smith finished ninth on his new FLO4LAW Racing Yamaha Superbike.
Cameron Petersen ended a troubled weekend with 10th on his Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1.
