Ben Young (Honda) and Tomas Casas (Suzuki) closed out dominant championship campaigns in style Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, with both riders securing victories in the final races of round five of the 2026 Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship.
Young capped a historic Superbike season by winning race two for his ninth victory in 10 races and a record-breaking eighth of the season. The six-time champion overcame a poor start that left him fifth through turn one, slicing through the field before passing David MacKay (Honda) on the Andretti straightaway. He then pulled clear to win by 11 seconds.
Young finished the season with 245 of a possible 250 points as Honda completed a top-four sweep and secured its first-ever Constructors’ Championship.
for us all year. To see another lockout and a top-four for the brand is pretty incredible.”
MacKay finished second for his fifth podium of the season, moving ahead of Andrew Van Winkle (Honda) by a single point to claim third in the final standings. Van Winkle completed the podium and secured Pro Rookie of the Year honors despite suffering a heavy crash in race one. His team, assisted by members of Young’s crew, rebuilt his Honda just 20 minutes before the start.
Cole Alexander (Honda) completed his spectacular Superbike debut with fourth after scoring a historic podium earlier in the day, while newly crowned OPP Racing Pro Supersport Champion Casas finished fifth aboard his smaller Suzuki GSX-R750.
Casas had already secured the Supersport title but refused to settle for a conservative finish, battling Mavrick Cyr (Suzuki) and Sebastien Tremblay (Suzuki) throughout a thrilling finale. Casas made a last-lap pass stick to beat Cyr by 0.237 of a second, earning his seventh win in eight races and third career championship.
Cyr finished second, with Tremblay third and runner-up in the standings after taking a podium in every race. Casas and Tremblay also helped Suzuki secure its third consecutive Constructors’ Championship.
Brad Macrae (Yamaha) finished fourth, while rookie Alexander (Suzuki) secured third in the Supersport championship. Matt Simpson’s (Suzuki) title hopes ended when a visor issue forced a late pit stop. CN
