ELKHART LAKE, WI – June 1, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Cameron Beaubier followed up his two wins at Barber Motorsports Park two weeks ago by earning provisional pole position for the two Steel Commander Superbike races at Road America on a sunny Friday afternoon.

Beaubier and Herrin played catch with the top spot for some of the session with Beaubier leading first, Herrin taking over for a short period before Beaubier nabbed it for good with his 2:09.764 coming on his 12^th lap of the four-mile Road America. After that, no one would get within a second of the five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion.

Beaubier’s lap ended up being 1.2 seconds quicker than Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Herrin, who in turn was just .204 ahead of Wrench Motorcycle’s Bobby Fong with Fong rounding out the provisional pole position.

Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Xavi Forés had his best session since taking over the injured Richie Escalante’s Suzuki GSX-R1000 R. Forés was just .131 of a second ahead of TopPro Racing’s Sean Dylan Kelly.

Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz ended the day sixth fastest on his Panigale V4 R and just.091 of a second clear of Beaubier’s Tytlers Cycle Racing teammate JD Beach.

Brandon Paasch ended up eighth on the second Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki.

It wasn’t a good day Attack Performance/Progressive/Yamaha Racing’s Cameron Petersen and defending three-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Jake Gagne with the pair ending up ninth and 10^th, respectively. Petersen’s Q1 session ended prematurely with a mechanical failure ending his day.

“The Tytlers BMW is working really good around here,” Beaubier said. “We’ve got some power and it’s so nice to use it at this track. It’s a pretty special place for me. I’ve had a lot of wins here and I really enjoy this place. Not just the track, but everything around it and the crowds that come out. We are enjoying ourselves this weekend aand we just have to keep our heads down. I know everyone is coming. It was a really good day today and we move on to tomorrow.”
