Race One

Cameron Beaubier marked his return to MotoAmerica Quad Lock Superbike competition with a dramatic victory on Saturday at Circuit of The Americas, capturing his first win of the 2026 season. Beaubier, who had been sidelined for four months following a crash at Road America, capped off his comeback by reclaiming the lead on a jaw-dropping final lap of a hard-fought 12-lap battle in Texas.

After securing pole position in Final Qualifying with a lap time of 2:07.343, Beaubier launched his Warhorse HSBK Ducati FLo4Law machine from the front row. Points leader Sean Dylan Kelly (OrangeCat Racing) grabbed the initial lead on lap one before Beaubier swept past on lap two to control the pace. Beaubier led through lap seven until Wrench Motorcycles’ rider Cameron Petersen made his move on lap eight, taking over the top spot.

Petersen, who recorded the fastest lap of the race (2:08.284) on lap two, led for four laps before Beaubier mounted a decisive final-lap pass to take the win by 0.862 seconds. Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong completed the podium in third, 1.964 seconds back.

Sean Dylan Kelly placed fourth on his BMW (+2.914s), while Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen finished fifth (+6.069s). Jayson Uribe placed sixth on his OrangeCat Racing BMW, while Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim crossed seventh, followed by Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law’s Benjamin Smith in eighth.

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammates Brandon Paasch and Tyler Scott – who made his Quad Lock Superbike debut this weekend – rounded out the top 10 in ninth and tenth respectively.

The 12-lap contest saw notable early retirements, including title contender Mathew Scholtz (Strack Racing) on lap three and JD Beach (Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing) on lap four.

Kelly’s fourth-place finish extended his lead in the 2026 Quad Lock Superbike Championship standings to 263 points. Following his early DNF, Scholtz remains second in points at 233 (30 points back), while Fong’s third-place finish brings him to 228 points (35 points off the lead). With 100 points total left up for grabs across the four remaining races of the season – tomorrow’s Race 2 at COTA and a season-ending triple-header at New Jersey Motorsports Park – the title chase remains wide open with eyes on Sunday’s action.

The following quote is from Quad Lock Superbike Race 1 Winner Cameron Beaubier:

“At the beginning, I got in there up front, and I just tried to tick off some good, smooth laps, and, honestly, five laps into the race, I started getting pretty tired. Cam (Petersen) came by me, and kind of gave me a second win, and I was able to latch onto him and roll through the track, and he was riding awesome.

I don’t know what he’s doing in the first section, but he was gapping me every lap, so hats off to him. Hats off the Bob (Fong), man, I feel so good to get this win. First win of the season. Honestly, I was on the couch the last four months, not having this inside at all, so… thank you. to Dr. Brian, Travis, for getting my shoulder back, back together. Thanks Alpinestars, all this, this amazing Warhorse team, Flo, just everything… I gotta go try to try to do it again tomorrow.”

Race Two

Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong delivered a masterful performance at Circuit of The Americas on Sunday, claiming victory in Quad Lock Superbike Race 2. Fong’s result closes the championship gap to 26 points behind standings leader Sean Dylan Kelly as MotoAmerica heads to its season-ending triple-header weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park on September 25–27.

Sunday’s action also featured another commanding performance by Andrew Lee (Real Steel Honda), who captured the Superbike Cup win in Race 2 after officially securing his fourth career MotoAmerica championship during Saturday’s Race 1.

Following Saturday’s podium finish, Bobby Fong displayed speed from early stages, but navigated most of the race behind the wheel of Wrench Motorcycles’ Cameron Petersen who led nine laps of the 12-lap contest. Petersen set the overall fastest lap of the race on lap three with a 2:08.060 (96.311 mph average speed), and created a lead to the field of over two seconds, but Fong worked methodically to reduce the gap, finding himself in the lead with two laps to go, beating Petersen to the line by a second (+1.006s).

Championship leader Sean Dylan Kelly (OrangeCat Racing) earned a crucial podium result in third (+6.332s), extending his season point total while minimizing the damage from Fong’s victory. Saturday’s Race 1 winner Cameron Beaubier (Warhorse HSBK Ducati FLo4Law), who made an incredible return to racing this weekend, crossed fourth (+6.412s) after a race-long battle with SDK. JD Beach (Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing) rebounded from an early DNF on Saturday to complete the top five.

Title contender Mathew Scholtz (Strack Racing), who suffered a DNF in Saturday’s opening race, finished outside the points in 17th after encountering trouble with his shift linkage on lap nine.

With 75 total points remaining up for grabs across the final triple-header weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park (Sept. 25–27), the Quad Lock Superbike title chase remains unresolved: Sean Dylan Kelly leads the standings with 279 points. Bobby Fong sits second with 253 points (26 points off the lead). Mathew Scholtz holds third with 233 points (46 points back). JD Beach ranks fourth with 230 points (49 points back). Cameron Petersen rounds out the top five with 185 points, mathematically outside the championship title, but well within the mix to disrupt the odds with his consistent pace.

The following quote is from Quad Lock Race 1 Winner Bobby Fong:

“Our strategy worked this weekend. It was good. We had a really good strategy we haven’t really done since I’ve been on the team, and it worked. I knew I had a little pace at the end. I just kept chipping away, slowly but surely. I was trying to hit my marks. A few times I was out there and I was overcharging the corners and having some big moments. I’m like, ‘Man, I better back this thing down.’ I saw Cameron coming back to me, so I had another lunge at the end. Hell of a race. It was great. My Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha, on rails as always. Looking forward to New Jersey and just keep the ball rolling.”
