The 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship kicks off this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park, and five-time class champion Cameron Beaubier is already dominating the sessions. The Tytlers Cycle Racing rider took provisional pole with an impressive 1:22.871 lap on his 18th lap, edging out Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing's Bobby Fong by 0,484 seconds..
Cameron Beaubier made a strong impression on the opening day of the MotoAmerica season. Although his best time remains 0,836 seconds off the record set by Jake Gagne in 2022, the multiple champion dominated unchallenged. Sean Dylan Kelly, on the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000 R, finished third, 0,798 seconds behind Beaubier and just 0,004 seconds ahead of teammate Richie Escalante.. Barber Motorsports Park record holder Jake Gagne finished fifth and remains the last driver within a second of Beaubier..
Defending champion Josh Herrin, wearing the number 1 for the first time on his Ducati Warhorse HSBK Racing Panigale V4 R, had a difficult start, finishing sixth, more than a second behind Beaubier.. Hayden Gillim (Real Steel Honda) and Ashton Yates (Jones Honda) completed the top eight on their respective Honda CBR8RR-R SPs. Bryce Kombau (BPR Racing Yamaha) and JD Beach (Real Steel Honda) rounded out the top ten..
Final qualifying for the Superbike riders will take place this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. local time, before the start of the first race scheduled for 16:10 p.m. across the Atlantic. With Cameron Beaubier in good form, he's clearly the clear favorite for the rest of the weekend. It will be up to his rivals to try and close the gap. It promises to be a spectacular event at Barber Motorsports Park..
