Cameron Beaubier won red-flag-shortened MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Race Three Sunday afternoon at Barber Motorsports Park, in Birmingham, Alabama. Riding his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR on Dunlop Sportmax Slick control tires, the five-time Champion took the lead on lap two and pulled out a comfortable advantage, which he held when the red flag came out and stopped the race on lap 18 of 20.

The win was Beaubier’s 62nd Superbike race win, moving him ahead of Josh Hayes and into second place on the all-time MotoAmerica/AMA Superbike win list. Mat Mladin is at the top of the list with 82 Superbike victories.

Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha rider Bobby Fong broke free from the pack and was actually closing some ground on Beaubier when the race was halted, locking him in at second place.

Sean Dylan Kelly backed up his career-first Superbike podium in Race Two with a third place, close behind Fong, in Race Three on his TopPro Racing BMW.

Josh Herrin came home fourth on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R.

Hayden Gillim rounded out the top five finishers on his Real Steel Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP.

The race was stopped due to a two-bike incident in Turn Two, where Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz and a slower rider came together. Both men crashed, but both were seen walking away from the scene.

Prior to that, Cameron Petersen crashed his Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1 in Turn Five while running in second place not far behind Beaubier on lap 11. Petersen rode back to the pits for repairs and continued in the race, but he finished outside of the points.

Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach retired early in the race with apparent mechanical problems.
