Superbike
No quarter asked and absolutely none given. That's how one
could view the two Superbike races at Road America.
Beaubier, Elias and Herrin were the class of the field as
they often used each other as berms, clashing and bashing
into each other over two epic 13-lap races.
For Superpole winner Beaubier, the race one win came
after several close encounters with current champion Elias,
the last of which saw the Spaniard tumbling through the gravel
trap after Beaubier dove up the inside with a couple of cor-
ners to go. Elias had previously pushed Beaubier wide into
turn one, and at that point the red mist came down.
