Cameron Beaubier tied Josh Hayes for the all-time AMA/MotoAmerica professional road racing wins records with his Superbike wins on Saturday and Sunday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Hayes took his 89th career victory in the rain in Supersport at Barber Motorsports Park, and Beaubier matched it by winning in the rain on Saturday and running away from the field in the dry on Sunday. Bobby Fong was second, ahead of Josh Herrin, Sean Dylan Kelly and Jake Gagne.
Mathew Scholtz was unhappy with his performance in the rain on Saturday, when he finished fifth, and made up for it by running away from the Supersport field on Sunday. Saturday’s winner, PJ Jacobsen, fell back to sixth and raced his way through the field to finish second. Scholtz’ teammate, Blake Davis (22), finished third. Tyler Scott finished fourth and Cameron Petersen fifth.
It was a nearly perfect weekend for the OrangeCat Racing BMW team in Stock 1000. Riders Andrew Lee and Jayson Uribe qualified 1-3, with Lee winning over Uribe in Race One on Saturday and Uribe taking the win in Race Two on Sunday. Ashton Yates, JD Beach and Bryce Kornbau completed the top five.
In the Mission Super Hooligan race, Cory West had a mechanical, slowed and James Rispoli had nowhere to go and ran into him. That left Hayden Schultz with nowhere to go, and he hit Rispoli and crashed. Saturday winner and leader Jake Lewis said he suddenly didn’t hear anyone behind him, looked back, saw the gap he had and knew the race was his. Lewis finished first in both Hooligan races, second and sixth in the Supersport races, and DNF and DNS in the King of The Bagger races. Cody and Travis Wyman finished second and third and Jason Waters was fourth, ahead of Dominic Doyle.
Kyle Wyman was fastest in practice and qualifying, but was beaten in the King of The Baggers Challenge and in Race One on Saturday. On Sunday, Wyman finally got it right, pulling away from Saturday’s Race One winner Loris Baz in a race cut short by two red flags. Bradley Smith was third, James Rispoli fourth and Hayden Gillim fifth.
