"It was really good to be able to get
nine wins in a season and be able to
pass my record that was a few years
ago," Cameron Beaubier said. "That
just feels really good for me. Every-
thing's going so good right now. Like I
said yesterday, some mes I feel like I
need to get pinched. But at the same
me, it's weird to say, but right now
that I have the most experience in the
Superbike class other than maybe Toni
[Elias] or something like that. I'm just
dialed in on my R1."

yesterday, but we're here to win.
Today I just went out with a different
mentality and went out there to win,
and it showed in the lap mes."

second place in the championship.
The Supersport encounters were
rather more enthralling, especially
race one between Richie Escalante
(Honos Kawasaki), Sean Dylan
Kelly (M4 Ecstar Suzuki) and Celtic
HSBK Racing Yamaha rider, Bran-
don Paasch. For three quarters of
race one, the three raced within
inches of each other in a dramatic
display of daring and skill, with
Escalante coming out on top from

It all went topsy-turvy in race two,
however, as Escalante was punted
out of the race in turn one by Su-
zuki's Jaret Nassaney. Paasch gave
chase to Kelly but also toppled off
at turn one later in the race, handing
