FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 7 / AUGUST 10-11, 2019
SONOMA RACEWAY / SONOMA, CALIFORNIA
P82
Elias' teammate Josh Herrin
crashed out on the opening lap
at the same downhill turn five as
Beaubier, pushing M4 Ecstar
Suzuki's Jake Lewis off with him.
There were just seven classified
finishes in race one.
Race two saw Beaubier on
a mission, taking the win after
hitting the front off the start
and never looking back. He
was more than a second clear
after one lap, and this time it
was Elias' turn to go farming
with a crash at turn three on lap
seven—the same corner Jake
Lewis fell off at the previous lap.
Beaubier was five seconds up

my board two laps in, and I just kept my
head down and kept drilling. Then I kind

closing on me, so I started pushing and
making a couple mistakes, running wide
here and there. I was like, 'Man, I'm go-
ing to do something stupid. I'm going to
crash doing this.' So, I just kind of backed
it down a li le bit and just made sure I
hit my marks. I ended up going a couple
tenths faster. But he kept me honest all
the way up un l seven to go or something
like that. I saw plus 3.5 on my board and I
was like, 'Let's just take this home.'"

"Michael [Barnes] passed me on the first
lap coming into the last corner," Alex Dumas
said. "He was going pre y fast. I followed
him for two or three laps un l he had a
problem. I didn't know if I could win. I was
catching him at some places on the track
where I was faster, and he was pulling a gap
on me at other places. It was really hard to
