Josh Herrin topped MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Qualifying One (Q1) Friday afternoon at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, in Braselton, Georgia. Riding his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R on Dunlop control tires, Herrin covered the 2.55-mile course in 1:24.627 to lead the field of 24 Superbikes.

Three-time and defending Champion Jake Gagne was second-best with a lap of 1:24.723 on his Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1, and Herrin’s new teammate Loris Baz earned the third and final spot on the provisional front row with a time of 1:24.787.

Bobby Fong was fourth with a 1:24.998 on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha YZF-R1. TopPro Racing BMW’s Sean Dylan Kelly was fifth-fastest with a lap at 1:25.075 in his first official day as a MotoAmerica Superbike rider. Gagne’s teammate Cameron Petersen, who says his right wrist is finally 100% healed, was sixth-quick at 1:25.121.

Cameron Beaubier bounced back from a crash in Turn 10 to post the seventh-fastest lap, 1:25.246, on his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR. Beaubier’s new teammate JD Beach was eighth in Q1 at 1:25.420. And Richie Escalante rounded out the top nine provisional qualifiers with a 1:25.719 on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
