Jake Gagne won MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Race Two Sunday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, in Braselton, Georgia. Gagne led early on his Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1, but was passed mid-race by JD Beach.

Beach led for two laps, but an unlucky encounter with backmarkers for Beach allowed Gagne to retake the lead.

From there, Gagne was able to meet the challenge of the wet-but-drying track conditions and Beach’s Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW teammate Cameron Beaubier and take his first victory of 2024.

Beaubier pushed hard to pass Gagne on the final lap, but Gagne closed all the doors and Beaubier came up 0.119 second short in second place.

Gagne’s teammate Cameron Petersen finished third, his first podium finish since undergoing season-ending wrist surgery in 2023.

Beach was running a close second behind Gagne when he hit a puddle in the esses and crashed. Beach was able to remount, rejoin the race in fifth place, and then overtake Sean Dylan Kelly to salvage fourth.

Superbike rookie Kelly got a strong start on his TopPro Racing BMW M 1000 RR but slipped backward through the race and ended up fifth.

Hayden Gillim got sixth on his new Real Steel Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, just ahead of Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Loris Baz, who raced with painful injuries suffered in a past-race crash on Saturday.

Nolan Lamkin finished eighth on his Visit Indiana/Tom Wood Powersports BMW S 1000 RR. Baz’s teammate Josh Herrin endured problems with his Panigale V4 R to get ninth, and pole-sitter Bobby Fong slipped backwards from the start and ended up 10th on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha.
