TOOELE, UTAH, JUNE 28—Monster Energy Graves Yamaha’s Josh Hayes once again topped the MotoAmerica Superbike class and left Miller Motorsports Park with the double win and the points lead over teammate Cameron Beaubier.
Although Beaubier earned another second place finish, he struggled in race two. Beaubier was able to capitalize on Roger Hayden’s technical misfortune as the Yoshimura Suzuki rider dropped back from Hayes after his bike dropped a valve. Hayden was able to limp his machine home to finish third ahead of rookie teammate Jake Lewis who was riding a lonesome race in fourth.
The battle for fifth overall went to Superstock 1000 rider Josh Day who was able to hold off Superbiker Chris Fillmore on the HMC KTM. Day was also the top Superstock 1000 finisher, also taking home the double win for his Yamalube/Westby Racing squad while Fillmore rounded out the top five in Superbike.
Aprilia HSBK Racing’s Sheridan Morais finished second in Superstock ahead of TOBC Racing Yamaha’s Taylor Knapp. Although, not a win Knapp, it was a good weekend for Knapp as he made great strides in closing the gap on points leader Jake Gagne. Gagne’s bad luck continued in race two as he crashed early in the race while battling with Lewis.
Rounding out the top five in Superstock was a pair of Yamahas—Ryders Alley Racing’s Mark Heckles and GN Gonzalez Racing’s Shane Narbonne.
