TOOELE, UTAH, JUNE 28—Yamalube/Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha’s JD Beach repeated his masterclass performance and dominated the MotoAmerica Supersport class once again, crossing the line a whopping 9.979 seconds ahead of Latus Motors Racing Triumph’s Bobby Fong. Rounding out the podium was Beach’s teammate Garrett Gerloff.
Beach led straight away and was the only one to knock down consistent laps in the 1:53s. Behind Beach the battle for second was heated between Wheels In Motion/Motorsport.com/Meen Yamaha’s Josh Herrin and Gerloff, with Fong lurking behind the Yamahas. In the end, Herrin was struck with what appeared to be a technical issue and Fong took advantage to take second, with Gerloff .209 of a second back in third.
Cameron Petersen rode his RoadRace Factory Yamaha across the line in a lonely fourth. In fifth was M4 Suzuki/SportbikeTrackGear.com’s David Anthony ahead of Petersen’s teammate Tomas Puerta.
Still recovering from his training accident on his bicycle earlier this week, Kyle Wyman brought his Yamaha home in seventh. Tuned Racing Yamaha’s Corey Alexander was eighth ahead of privateer-Yamaha rider Kaled Be Keyrel. Rounding out the top 10 was Team H35 Honda’s Benny Solis, Jr.
Herrin’s young teammate Joe Roberts continued to dominate the Superstock 600 class, taking his eighth win of the season and extending his points lead to 37 over second-place finisher Richie Escalante. Escalante, who had a much healthier bike than race one, gave Roberts a run for his money early on in the race but was unable to hold him off and ultimately settled for second.
Tuned Racing’s Bryce Prince made his second trip to the podium this weekend in third. Rounding out the top five was Mach 1 Motorsports’ Wyatt Farris and HB Racing Yamaha’s Michael Gilbert.
