T
he old adage "to finish first, you
must first finish" was never truer
than at Road America for round two
for the 2020 MotoAmerica Championship.
Cameron Beaubier (Monster Energy At-
tack Racing Yamaha) had done his custom-
ary banzai pole position lap and took an
easy win in race one ahead of Bobby Fong
(M4 Ecstar Suzuki) and the impressive
Kyle Wyman (KWR Ducati) and looked to
be out for more of the same in race two.
That was until the number one hit the
notorious bump at turn one, tucked the
front and slid into the grass, marking
his first DNF of the year and a golden
opportunity for either Fong or Beaubier's
teammate Jake Gagne to grab their first
career Superbike win.
Cameron Beaubier
(1) took control of the
meeting from Friday
practice, setting a
record Superpole
time of 2:10.623 and
rocketing away to the
race-one win. For race
two, however, Fong
(50) would benefit
from the champion's
error, taking his career-
first Superbike win.
