winner for the 90th
time in his
AMA career and now finds him-
self back in the title hunt with
two rounds
to go.
"The Superbike field right now
is just stacked," Beaubier said.
"It's pretty crazy how much the
points have flip-flopped in the
last few rounds. I'd say after VIR
last week, we were scratching
our heads pretty bad. To get
one [a win] today felt awesome.
I know Herrin and Bob [Fong]
kind of got into it earlier on in
the race, because I saw my gap
grow pretty big all of a sudden.
So, I knew something happened.
But I just kept my head down
and tried to bring it home."
Fong has two rounds left to
Gillim (69) and Troy Herfoss (1)
went at each other all weekend.
The score was Gillim two,
Herfoss one.
