Many are expecting big things from Cameron Beaubier
and he hasn't let them down yet
STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDREA WILSON

hen you look up the word "dominate" in the dictionary it could very
well say: See Cameron Beaubier's
2013 AMA Daytona SportBike season.
Because when you look at his results
there's really no better word. He won all
but one race, his worst finish was a second, he led the most laps in all but four
races and he earned pole position at every race. But if your aim is to describe the
result of that near-perfect performance,
go ahead and go with "champion."
The recently turned 21 year old from
Roseville, California clinched his first National Championship at the age of 20 in
the AMA Pro Road Racing's middleweight
class and his reward for it will be to join
Josh Hayes on the factory Yamaha Superbike team next season.
The young Beaubier is doing just fine,
thank you very much. He's got a championship under his belt, a house in his
hometown of Roseville, California, and a
factory Superbike ride for 2014.
