1-1 JUNIOR CUP
"Honestly, a er Road America 1, I didn't
expect this to happen," Landers said.
"We didn't think we would do the full
season. We thought we would miss
Atlanta and Pi sburgh. Then, all of a
sudden, we couldn't get a Covid test, so
we were like, 'All right, why not go to At-
lanta and see what happens?' A er that
race, we've had a really good year. Lots
of wins, lots of lap records. It's been so
fun racing with Dominic and Ben, Sam
(Lochoff), and everyone else all year.
This is my last year racing small bikes.
I'm happy to be able to come out with
the championship."
1 CAMERON BEAUBIER
1-1 SUPERBIKE
"Obviously, my game right now is just to
try to get out front early and try to take
advantage of the good rubber and try to
manage my gap if I have one," Cameron
Beaubier said. "There towards midway, I
don't know if they showed it or not, but
I had a pre y good (front end) tuck. I
almost crashed out of Charlo e's Webb.

He did it this time in the splendid grounds of the Barber Motor-
sports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, in the shadow of the world's
finest motorcycle museum. Not only did Beaubier win both races
after qualifying on pole with a new lap record, he carded his 50th
and 51st career Superbike victories and made it 13 wins from 14
starts in 2020 in what is one of the most dominant seasons in AMA
racing history.
Beaubier led home teammate Jake Gagne and Westby Racing's
Scholtz (11) rode for a podium
in race one, and has continued
to improve week by week as
a regular podium challenger.
The problem is, Beaubier is
improving too, moving the goal
posts each weekend.
