ing the door for Petersen and
the chasing pack.
What then developed was
another last-lap battle, with
points leader Scholtz defend-
ing against Sean Dylan Kelly
for
third. Scholtz was precise,
leading the closing laps until
the final turn. SDK made a move
in the final corner that he held
until the line, claiming third
place, 8.858 seconds behind the
winner. Scholtz finished a close
fourth, just two-tenths of a sec
-
ond behind SDK after climbing
from
eighth on the grid. Scholtz
retained the championship lead
by just two points going into

Beach repeated his Saturday

wasted no
time at the start,
seizing the lead before the end
of the opening lap and never
looking back.
While Saturday's victory was
a career milestone for Beach in
the dry, Sunday's performance
solidified his dominance, as he
maintained a consistent pace
that opened a comfortable gap
from the rest of the field and
ultimately crossed the finish
line 3.437 seconds ahead of his
nearest rival, securing his fifth
career Superbike victory.

"That feels good to get that win for my
team," Josh Herrin said after his race-
two win. "Yesterday I rode a different
race than I'm used to running, and
I think it just affected me. Today, I
needed to put the pressure on, battle
with him [Darryn Binder]. That's what
I know how to do. We just needed to
put the pressure on. I knew eventually
he'd make a mistake, and he did. We
really needed that points jump there.
Bummed that Kayla went down, but
I'm sure she'll bounce back at Ohio
real good."
