Ezra Beaubier, the younger brother of Cameron Beaubier, took a convincing victory in MotoAmerica Steel Commander Stock 1000 Race One at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Riding his Orange Cat Racing BMW M 1000 RR, Beaubier took the lead on the first lap, withstood a strong challenge from Travis Wyman, and held on to win by 2.717 seconds. It was Beaubier’s third win and fifth podium in five races so far this season.
Wyman, the pole-sitter, pushed Beaubier to the end but had to settle for the runner-up spot on his Travis Wyman Racing BMW M 1000 RR.
Travis Wyman’s younger brother Cody Wyman, who was riding in place of injured Brandon Paasch on the Altus Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R1000R, came from behind to take third on the final lap.
Beaubier’s teammate Kaleb De Keyrel was running third until he was demoted to fourth by Cody Wyman.
Hayden Gillim got off to a slow start on his Disrupt Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000R but was able to work his way up to fifth, just 0.433 second behind De Keyrel at the finish.
