My Own Race:
1 CAMERON BEAUBIER 8-2 SUPERBIKE
"At the beginning of the race, I thought I was going to have to settle for third be-
cause Toni and Roger were going really well," Cameron Beaubier (Monster Energy/
YamaLube/Yamaha) said of race two. "But I chilled out, and gave it some time to
string together a bunch of fast laps, which helped bring me closer to the front. I
worked hard to get around Roger, and I'm happy with second place today, especially
after yesterday's (race) result. I'm leaving COTA with a decent amount of points--
much better than last year (at this point in the season)."
95 ROGER HAYDEN 2-3 SUPERBIKE
Hayden was a shadow third, the Kentuckian passing Elias late in the race only to
lose the spot in the next corner. From there to the finish, Hayden had his hands
ands full with Beaubier and ultimately lost second place to the Yamaha man. "It was
a good race, a fun race, and solid start to the new season," said Hayden. "There
were a few sections of the track I was better than Toni and in other sections he was
a little better than me. Cameron [Beaubier] and I had a good battle going, but it let Toni [Elias] slip away."
Valentin Debise got
into second place in
the Supersport race
with a last-lap pass on
Garrett Gerloff.
