f you were any rider who currently had to
face Cameron Beaubier (Monster Energy
Attack Performance Yamaha), you'd have to
be more than a little concerned as to how you
were going to beat him.
The current MotoAmerica number one was
in fine form at Road Atlanta, with normal service
resuming after his turn-one get-off at Road
America's second round. Beaubier crushed the
field in Atlanta, taking pole by 0.795 seconds
and sealing two race wins with ease.
The fact he won by 4.7 seconds and 2.5
seconds, respectively, doesn't quite show the
level of his dominance. Each race, his fastest
lap was 0.615 and 0.487 seconds faster than
the next best, as he controlled the pace to
come home ahead of teammate Jake Gagne,

second in both races, with Mathew Scholtz
(Westby Racing Yamaha) improving to a double
podium with third in both encounters.
The Supersport class again served up thrill-
ing racing, with Sean Dylan Kelly (M4 Ecstar
Suzuki) stealing a brilliant win on the last corner
of race one ahead of title leader and pole sitter,
Richie Escalante (Honos Racing Kawasaki)
with Brandon Paasch (Celtic HSBK Racing)
third. Escalante reversed the results in race
two, Paasch again taking the final podium spot.
Corey Alexander (Ride HVMC Racing
Kawasaki) pulled a double for his first-ever
MotoAmerica race wins in the Stock 1000
class; Rocco Landers (Norton Motorsports/
Ninja400R/Dr. Farr/Wonder CBD Kawasaki)
doubled up in the Liqui Moly Junior Cup races;
and Kaleb De Keyrel got the better of Landers
in an ultra-close Twins Cup race for his second
win of the season.
