Beaubier Ties Hayes With His 89thCareer Victory.
BRASELTON, GA – Cameron Beaubier is now tied with Josh Hayes atop the all-time win list across all AMA road race classes, with the five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion racing to his 89th career victory on Sunday at Road Atlanta. The win was his third of the young season and his 68th career AMA Superbike victory.
Beaubier and his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR nailed the holeshot and wasted little time gapping the field, ending his weekend with two victories – one in the rain on Saturday, and today’s race in the dry.
The man who came closest to matching Beaubier was Bobby Fong, with the Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing rider clawing into Beaubier’s lead mid-race and keeping the pressure on to the finish, where he eventually ended up 2.3 seconds behind at the completion of 19 laps.
Fong was safe in second, with some 10 seconds in hand over Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin, who matched his third-place finish from Saturday. Fong, meanwhile, was 11th in the rain on Saturday after crashing and remounting.
Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly was fourth, some three seconds behind Herrin and another three seconds ahead of Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne. Gagne, who finished a close second to Beaubier in the rain on Saturday, had his hands full in the closing laps with Kelly’s teammate Richie Escalante.
Escalante ended up just .197 of a second behind Gagne at the finish line.
A day after earning his career-best Superbike finish of fifth, FLO4LAW/SBU Racing’s Benjamin Smith raced to seventh on Sunday, holding off the fast-closing twosome of Hondas ridden by Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates and Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim. Yates and Gillim came up a bit short and finished eighth and ninth, respectively.
Tenth place went to Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach, who in the process kept his perfect Superbike Cup record intact with a fourth straight victory.
With two rounds and four races in the books, Beaubier leads Gagne by 23 points, 95-72. Herrin is third with 59 points, three more than Fong. Kelly rounds out the top five with 52 points.

Cameron Beaubier – Winner
“Today being able to win with a little gap there felt awesome. It seems like this place brings good racing, good battles. It’s hard to get away from people here in the past compared to other tracks. So, I was pretty happy with being able to run away a little bit at the beginning. I was looking at the timesheets and I knew Bob (Fong) had really good pace on used stuff every dry session we did. He showed it there. Towards the end of the race, he was bringing that gap down. Truthfully, I was in management mode a little bit, but when I tried to start going again, the gap wasn’t opening. If anything, it was staying the same or coming back down. So, hats off to Bob. Hats off to Josh (Herrin). They ran really good. It’s going to be a long, tough season. I’d say especially yesterday that race felt so good for me, getting the first win on the BMW in the wet, especially after the struggles we’ve had on the thing the last couple years in the wet. So, overall, amazing weekend. Awesome to have my wife and kid here, running amok in the pits. It’s been a fun weekend.”
Bobby Fong – Second Place
“It’s cool to get on the podium. It would be nice to get my teammate up here. Two Yamahas would be nice. But battling with these two guys, I think it’s going to be a long year. It’s going to be a lot of fighting with (Josh) Herrin and Cam (Beaubier), and I’m sure Jake (Gagne) is going to be up there along with them four guys. It’s cool to get some points. I’ve always done pretty well here over the years even though I definitely dislike this place as well. But we’re going to keep the ball rolling. I definitely made a step in the wet from last year. I’m definitely happy about at least yesterday, our forward momentum in the wet. We’re just going to do some work from here to Road America, and then we got possibly some concessions on the Yamaha. Hopefully, it will pay off a little bit at Road America. But I’m happy with the team, honestly. On a Sunday leaving to the airport, it’s a nice feeling knowing that you had a decent Sunday. There’s no worse feeling going to the airport and you had a sh*&^ weekend. It’s nice to put the Progressive Yamaha up here.”
Josh Herrin – Third Place
“I don’t want to be finishing third, but leaving the second race way, way better off than we were last year makes me happy. I want to do better and want to get closer to Cam and Bobby, but you got to take what you get sometimes and be happy with it. I almost threw it away there in the chicane. I was really frustrated with myself but luckily was able to put it back on track and pull back away from SDK (Sean Dylan Kelly). I think the team and I both… I think they expected a little bit more this weekend, but this has never been a track that I just went well at without really trying super hard. So, it’s not just one of those tracks that comes easy to me on this bike. So, for me, I was just wanting to survive the first two rounds and to leave here with as many points as we have, and especially to climb back and get two podium finishes in the rain now after two years of a lot of struggling in the rain feels super good. I know that we have that in our back pocket now, so I’m not going to be stressing out if there’s bad weather coming in the forecast. I’m just excited to keep going for the rest of the season. I think the only track that I kind of have a question mark in my head for this bike is VIR, but every other track we seem to roll good at. I’m excited to keep going. Got a lot on my mind this coming month because the twins are due in about a month. It’s getting pretty stressful. But try to go back and put in as much work as we can and be ready for Road America.”

Scholtz Wins Supersport, Wyman Takes King Of The Baggers At Road Atlanta.
BRASELTON, GA – Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz wasn’t overly pleased with his fifth-place finish in the rain on Saturday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, but he more than made up for it on Sunday with a resounding Motovation Supersport victory.
For Scholtz, the defending MotoAmerica Motovation Supersport Champion, it was his second victory of the season and his 10th career Supersport win.
Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen rebounded from a poor start to finish second to his championship rival. Early in the race, it looked as though Jacobsen would give back a horde of points to Scholtz, who was streaking away at the front. But Jacobsen kept fighting until eventually passing Scholtz’s teammate Blake Davis to take over second, keeping his points loss to Scholtz down to five points after gaining 11 on Scholtz on Saturday.
Jacobsen leads Scholtz by eight points, 85-77, after four races. In finishing second, Jacobsen kept his podium-in-every-race streak alive with his fourth successive podium.
Davis earned his second podium of the season with his third-place finish, 1.2 seconds behind Jacobsen.
Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott was a fighting fourth, crossing the line just ahead of Celtic/Economy Lube+Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen.
Altus Motorsports’ Jake Lewis was sixth, a day after finishing a close second to Jacobsen. BPR Racing Yamaha’s Josh Hayes was seventh, a second ahead of Altus Motorsports’ Torin Collins.
Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s Kayla Yaakov and ADR Motorsports’ David Anthony rounded out the top 10.
Mathew Scholtz – Winner
“I actually don’t know what happened there,” Scholtz said of Saturday’s result. “We were so far off with the setup. In the full wet conditions, I felt really confident. In the dry, I kind of felt that we had the pace that we should win. But those mixed conditions on the wet tires getting to full lean angle, something was just happening there with the setup. We hadn’t figured that out yet. Obviously, it’s a brand-new bike. So those were just one of the conditions that we had never tested in. So, kind of learned a hell of a lot yesterday. It was a painful lesson after breaking the record during qualifying two, looking forward to the race and coming in fifth place. I think we were 9.8 seconds back, so we got absolutely smashed. Made a couple changes overnight. Today, I had some pretty decent pace going. It sounds like there was a hell of a lot of trouble back in the pack, so that suited me well. Got off to a pretty decent lead early on. I think PJ (Jacobsen) kept it consistent at 3.3 seconds for two laps. So, I kind of started worrying slightly there. I managed to put down a 28.1 about halfway through and opened it up half a second. Then it was smooth sailing from that point on.”
Mission King Of The Baggers – Wyman’s 21st
Kyle Wyman is far and away the winningest rider in the short history of the Mission King Of The Baggers Championship, and the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing rider added to his win list on a sunny Sunday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta with victory number 21.
The win was also Wyman’s third out of the four races held thus far in 2025, with yesterday’s second-place finish the only blip in his season to date.
On Sunday, Wyman started from pole position but butchered a start in a way he wasn’t sure he’d ever done before. He apparently forgot to put the bike in gear and was fortunate to not have been run over.
Not so fortunate was TAB Performance Racing’s Kyle Ohnsorg, who crashed seconds later when his Indian Challenger locked up. From there it got ugly with RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers couldn’t avoid the crashed Indian and he crashed as well. Wyman, meanwhile, also had to find a way through the carnage, and the race was quickly red flagged.
The second attempt at running the race was red flagged when Troy Herfoss’ Indian sent a smokescreen down the backstraight, leaving oil in its path.
The third time was the charm, with Wyman getting the holeshot and never looking back. He was chased for the duration by Frenchman Loris Baz, who won Saturday’s race on his S&S/Indian Motorcycle Challenger. Baz kept Wyman honest throughout but came up 1.7 seconds short.
Brit Bradley Smith was third, earning the second podium finish of his four-race-old Baggers career. He was some six seconds behind Baz and just .090 of a second ahead of his Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing teammate James Rispoli, with RevZilla/Motul/Harley-Davidson’s Hayden Gillim a shadow fifth.
“You’re supposed to put the bike in gear in order to start the race,” Wyman said. “I have to literally watch the video back, because there’s no way I just didn’t even try to. I must have gone for it and maybe it didn’t go, but it would be a first for me in my entire career. I’m just so happy and fortunate that it’s a small grid. You can’t have an issue like that on the grid, especially on the front row. I’ve seen some really, really terrifying incidents. Kyle Ohnsorg missed me, and I’m thankful for that. Then I had to miss him and Rocco (Landers) coming up the hill in turn one when they skittled. That was a gnarly way to start the day. But it worked out in my favor. The first red flag was a definite gift for me. The second one I didn’t feel like was a gift at the time because I had a clear track. I really wanted to continue those seven laps. But we went back and put the bike in gear again, get another good start, and put my head down. Really happy with the pace. I think I saw a couple 29.2s throughout that. It feels good. It’s been a little while since I’ve had a win like this in the class. The end of last season was a little bit more of a struggle for me, even though we did win a couple. Daytona is Daytona but it kind of feels like Laguna or Ohio last year is really the last performance that I’m proud of. I’m happy with this one today. For sure good for the points championship. We’re in a really good spot. I don’t think I’ve ever had this big of a points lead in this class. Just keep our head down. Let’s keep working.”
Super Hooligan National Championship – Lewis Again!
Saddlemen Race Development’s Jake Lewis looked over his shoulder on the second lap and no one was near, which is a rarity in the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship class.
Part of the reason for Lewis’ big early lead was a bit of melee in the turn 10 A/B chicane with defending series champion Cory West having a bike issue between the left and the right handers, and that led to a chain reaction that caused issues for James Rispoli and Hayden Schultz, who ended up crashing. Rispoli and his KWR Harley-Davidson would work their way back into a battle for second before bike issues knocked him out of the final results.
There was no catching Lewis after all the action in the chicane, as the Kentuckian maintained his cushion to score his second Hooligan race win of the weekend. Saturday’s win was by just .174 of a second over West, today’s win was a comfortable 4.5 seconds.
Second place went to KWR Harley-Davidson’s Cody Wyman, who was 3.9 seconds clear of his brother and teammate, Travis Wyman.
Edge Racing’s Jason Waters raced his Triumph 765RS to fourth with Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing’s Dominic Doyle rounding out the top five on his Yamaha MT-09 SP.
“Honestly it was kind of boring,” Lewis said. “All the Hooligan races so far this year have been so exciting to watch and been a last-lap scrap. I didn’t even hear anyone into 10 on the first lap. I looked back on the second lap and already saw I had a huge gap. Unfortunately, it looked like a couple of them went down. I think that’s what happens. I’ve been the pace setter all weekend. When I’m pushing the pace like that and they know I’m going to go like hell on the first lap, they’re trying like hell to stay with me. I’m just going to keep riding like I’m doing and just try to keep pushing the pace. I think now I’ll take over the points lead. It feels good. We’ll have a month and a half break before the Ridge. That’s one of my strongest tracks as well. A big thank you to the whole Saddlemen Race Development team. They’ve been working nonstop on this Pan America, and it’s showing. I’m riding at a good level. So, it’s going to be tough, I feel, for the competition to catch up. We’ve just got to keep our foot down.”
Stock 1000 – Uribe’s Turn
Orange Cat Racing’s Jayson Uribe turned the tables on his teammate Andrew Lee with a victory in Sunday’s Stock 1000 race a day after Lee won Saturday’s wet race at Road Atlanta.
The two bright orange BMW M 1000 RRs flew in formation out front of the pack from the get-go, with Uribe leading for the duration. Lee kept him honest throughout, coming up two seconds short at the finish. Lee had beaten Uribe by just .009 of a second in race one with a pass on the last lap in the final corner on the last lap.
With the pair splitting wins in what is the opening round of the Stock 1000 Championship, the Orange Cat duo is tied at the top of the championship point standings with 45 points apiece.
Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates finished third for the second straight day, 6.3 seconds behind and some three seconds ahead of Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach, who matched his fourth-place finish from Saturday’s race.
BPR Racing’s Bryce Kornbau rounded out the top five on his Yamaha YZF-R1.
“Honestly, I just can’t thank my whole team, my whole crew enough,” Uribe said. “My family is out here. I’ve got this beautiful BMW provided by Alpha Racing, Orange Cat supported. Thanks everybody for all the help. Honestly, I was just trying to ride my own race. I was trying to look at my lap timer and just be smooth, be consistent. I knew I was going to have at least somebody behind me, so I just tried to minimize mistakes and just ride smart. Just happy to bring it home.”

Gagne Rides to Runner-Up Finish at Road Atlanta
MARIETTA, Ga. – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Jake Gagne scored a runner-up finish yesterday in a wet MotoAmerica Superbike Race 1 at Road Atlanta. In addition to keeping his perfect podium record in 2025, the three-time Superbike champ scored valuable points in the premier class title chase. It was a tough start to Round 2 of the championship for Bobby Fong, who came back from an early race crash to finish 11th in the challenging conditions in Braselton, Georgia.
Gagne had a strong start to the weekend, qualifying sixth in the combined times. Then rain arrived later that afternoon, and with those changing conditions, riders were given a wet familiarization session just before lining up for the first Superbike race of the weekend. Gagne got a great start from the second row of the grid, slotting into third behind his teammate and then passing him shortly after to claim the runner-up spot. The Colorado rider stayed on the heels of the competition for most of the 15-lap race, but ultimately lost some time in the final laps and crossed the line second. Gagne’s third consecutive podium has him heading into Race 2 trailing the leader by nine points.
Fong showed speed from the start, qualifying second in the combined times. He then got a great start to the opening race in second, but was passed by his teammate shortly after. Fong continued to fight for the final podium spot, but ultimately was passed in the final corner of the opening lap. The Californian continued to ride a strong pace in fourth, but crashed in Turn 10 on Lap 3 and rejoined at the back of the field. Undeterred, Fong put his head down and made his way back to 11th, where he would finish to salvage five points in the championship.
The Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing team lines up again this afternoon for MotoAmerica Superbike Race 2 at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia.
Richard Stanboli – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing Team Manager
“It’s great to be at Road Atlanta, one of our favorite tracks. Today we missed on the wet setup, and unfortunately Jake lacked the grip to challenge for the win. He did a good job and earned some good points. Bobby made a small mistake and fell down, but was still able to remount and earn some championship points. Tomorrow will be dry, and we will push hard for the win.”
Jake Gagne – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing #32
“Another rain race today, and it went well for us. The pace at the front was hot, and the track was really tricky, but I managed to bring it home in second, which was good. It looks like a dry race tomorrow, so we’re ready for another one, whatever the weather.”
Bobby Fong – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing #50
“I felt good in the wet, but unfortunately had that tip-over in the race. I’m looking forward to a dry one tomorrow, as I’m still gathering confidence in the wet. I hope to finish the weekend strong and make a good showing for Yamaha and the fans.”

Scott Returns to Supersport Podium as Kelly and Escalante Deliver Strong Superbike Finishes in Atlanta.
Brea, CA – Suzuki Motor USA and Team Hammer were prepared for any and all contingencies as the 2025 MotoAmerica season arrived at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, and were rewarded with multiple top fives across classes and conditions.
Race Highlights:
- Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki
- Superbike
- Sean Dylan Kelly was a constant presence near the front of the field with a pair of fourths on the GSX-R1000R Superbike.
- Richie Escalante twice narrowly missed out on top fives with a solid performance in the wet and dry.
- Supersport
- Tyler Scott was quick and confident in his return to the podium aboard his GSX-R750.
- Max VanDenBrouck again demonstrated his skill in mixed conditions with a fine seventh on a drying surface
- Superbike
- RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines
- Stock 1000
- Rocco Landers picked up a pair of top tens as he acclimates to Stock 1000 action.
- Stock 1000
Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly backed up his impressive Team Hammer return outing at Barber Motorsports Park with a similarly strong showing at Road Atlanta. Just as at BMP, SDK qualified on the first row aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000R Superbike and then put that pace to good effect in the form of a pair of fourths, including Saturday’s near third after reeling in the reigning class champion from more than three seconds back.
Of that last-gasp bid for a come-from-behind podium, Kelly said, “It was hard to really be right next to him for the braking at the end of the straightaway for Turn 10, but I knew that’s where I had to get it done. I felt really strong on the brakes, and that’s exactly where I got it done. But I went in pretty deep and pretty hot and lost the front and rear. I still kept it together but that made me lose my drive out of the chicane. I tried and I was committed to trying. It feels good that I’m figuring things out, I just need to figure them out a little quicker.”
SDK’s Superbike teammate, Richie Escalante, added a pair of sixths to Kelly’s twin fourths, despite contending with vastly different conditions on the two race days. The Mexican born racer applied considerable pressure from close behind in search of top fives both times out on the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R, a good indication that even better results are coming soon.
Escalante said, “It was honestly a difficult weekend to get confidence with the bike, but we made steady progress and it kept improving. The team did a great job coming up with solutions. The bike felt great in the rain, and now I feel I have the ability to contend in the wet. We have been working hard to get there, and that is a big step for us. On Sunday, I got a poor start and spent the first three laps making passes. At that point, I settled into the race and kept improving my lap times until the end. The podium is close, and I believe we can be better at Road America and Laguna Seca. I am super happy with the team and sponsors. We will keep trying to do our very best.”
Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki Supersport ace Tyler Scott received an injection of confidence after some testing between rounds allowed the team to hone in on a set-up to the young star’s liking. Scott capitalized on those gains by qualifying on the second row aboard his next-generation GSX-R750 and by coming out on hard-fought battles in both the wet and dry to leave Atlanta with third- and fourth-place results.
“We were due to be back on the box,” Scott said. “We struggled to get the bike figured out at Barber Motorsports Park, but the whole Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team really put in the work. We went testing between races and straight out of the truck, the bike felt amazing. I had great confidence all weekend.”
Scott’s young teammate, Max VanDenBrouck, again demonstrated his ability to excel aboard the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750 in difficult conditions. At Road Atlanta, he claimed an impressive seventh place in Saturday’s mixed weather contest after earning a top five in the wet at the previous round. Unfortunately, he suffered a crash while running just outside the top ten in Sunday’s rematch.
“It was a good learning weekend, but we struggled a little bit getting up to speed,” Max Van said. “Saturday was a nice improvement to get seventh after qualifying 12th. Sunday’s race was going along well until I crashed in the Esses. I’m still not sure exactly what happened on that one. I know it was human error and I went down, but we will figure out exactly what happened between races. The bike had minimal damage, but, unfortunately, we could not continue. Getting used to the bike and team has been great. Everyone works so hard and that’s a great motivator. The bike is really fast and that bodes well for Road America.”
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Rocco Landers gained valuable literbike experience with a steady performance at Road Atlanta in Stock 1000 duty. After qualifying seventh, Landers piloted the team’s GSX-R1000 to a pair of ninths.
Landers said, “We were the top Suzuki, but we have a way to go. I’m not happy unless I am on the podium or winning, but I am not unhappy with how the weekend went. I have never ridden a 1000cc sprint race bike before now, and this thing is a beast. It’s got some beans. The power is incredible, and it handles really well, too. I just have to figure out how to get the most out of it with more seat time. I know I need to ride it inline more, and honestly this feels like how I had to adjust in racing the different classes. It’s going to be fun.”
The 2025 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship resumes on May 30-June 1 for high-speed action at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Wyman also rode his race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle to a second-place finish on Saturday and stretched his championship lead to 34 points.
“We got a second chance with a red flag on Sunday, so I knew I had to capitalize,” said Wyman. “I had great race pace on the Harley-Davidson Dynojet Road Glide. And I feel like we are building momentum since the start of the year and look forward to running out front for the Harley hometown crowd at Road America.”
Also at Road Atlanta, Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST riders filled all podium positions and dominated the second round of the 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Presented By Roland Sands Designs and Powered by Harley-Davidson.

Wyman Stretches Series Lead
Kyle Wyman qualified on the Mission King of the Baggers pole with a best lap time of 1:29.152 on the 2.55-mile, 12-turn Road Atlanta road course. Racing on a wet track on Saturday, Wyman pulled away from the field early but found himself in a battle with Factory Indian rider Loris Baz in the closing laps of the 7-lap race. Baz passed for the lead at turn 10 on the final lap and held on for a 0.199 seconds win over Wyman. Factory Indian rider Troy Herfoss finished third, 3.205 seconds back. RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim finished fourth, and Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith was sixth.
In sunny and dry conditions on Sunday, the Mission King of the Baggers race was stopped twice for a red flag, first on the opening lap for an on-track incident involving Kyle Ohnsorg and Rocco Landers that Wyman barely avoided after a poor start, and again on lap 2 of the restart when the engine of the Factory Indian ridden by Herfoss failed and oiled the track. Wyman took off on the second re-start, posting a blazing first lap of 1:29.108 to open a gap on Baz that stretched to more than one second. Wyman finished 1.797 seconds ahead of second-place Baz. Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider James Rispoli, Smith and Gillim waged a race-long battle for third place with Smith gaining the last podium spot by 0.107 seconds over Rispoli in fourth with Gillim a further 0.090 seconds back in fifth place.
After 4 of 14 rounds in the 2025 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, Wyman leads in series points with 95, followed by Baz with 61 points, Smith with 52, and Herfoss with 44 points.

Saddlemen/Harley-Davidson Rider Jake Lewis Wins Twice in Mission Super Hooligans
