ROUND 4 / APRIL 25, 2026 VENTURA RACEWAY / VENTURA, CALIFORNIA FLAT TRACK I AMA PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN FLAT TRACK P104 friendly circuit where Bauman had previously won in '24 on a KTM and last season aboard the Harley. Eager to put things back on track, he ripped free right from the start. Bauman's pace was such that only rookie ace and Grand National Championship leader Kody Kopp could even pretend to keep pace. The Latus Motors Racing H-D pilot did an admirable job clinging on for a spell but ultimately couldn't keep things eight wins in 2025, there was significant shuffling beneath the surface of his program. In an attempt not just to hit the ground running but to step things up over '25, Bauman, new crew chief Bryan Bigelow, and company may have, in hindsight, been a bit too aggressive in their approach to the bike's setup. A month after Senoia, reflecting, adjusting and continuing to learn to work together reaped serious benefits at Ventura Raceway, a 48 TRENT LOWE 7TH SUPERTWINS Turner Honda's Trent Lowe was never able to fully lock into his groove on the Honda CB750 Hornet at Ventura Raceway. That feeling was finalized when he came out in seventh after engaging in a three-rider melee for fifth. Lowe said, "Today was definitely a struggle. We were working on the bike all day long, flipping the bike upside down, so hats off to my crew. We were trying to find a way to get me comfortable, and we made huge strides with some big changes before the main event. The bike was a lot better. I felt like I could have made my way forward a little bit better, but we just let the leaders get too far ahead. I was kind of stuck with what we got. We're going to move on to the next one with a positive note." MYOWNRACE (Above) Defending SuperTwins champ Dallas Daniels (1) battles Davis Fisher en route to third place.
