No one would have bet on such a scenario. Yet, to everyone's surprise, Cameron Beaubier emerged from the tumult of New Jersey Motorsports Park with the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike title, his sixth championship in the discipline, at the end of a Sunday marked by numerous twists and turns.

The Californian entered the final day 13 points behind Bobby Fong, the strong leader until then and enjoying a record-breaking year. Everything seemed within reach for the Yamaha rider, who had dominated Saturday's first race with a sixth victory of the season. Sunday morning, the tension was palpable.
The second race laid the foundations for this upset. Fong, Beaubier, and Josh Herrin clung to the front, each eager to secure precious title points. The trio led until the final lap, when Fong, then in second place, crashed. He could only watch as Herrin won and Beaubier took second place, while the championship hierarchy was completely overturned. Beaubier now led by seven points over Fong and thirteen over Herrin.

The tension rose even higher in the final race. Fong took the lead, determined to save his dream of victory. But on the eighth lap, the pressure cost him dearly: another crash, fatal to his ambitions. Beaubier then found himself alone in the lead, just a few laps away from victory. His pace was relentless, and in the finish, he won to secure a trophy as glorious as it was unexpected.
Behind him, Sean Dylan Kelly made a daring pass on Herrin on the final lap, followed by Hayden Gillim, who seized the opportunity to secure his first Superbike podium. Herrin finished fourth, just ahead of Jayson Uribe.
The final standings crown Beaubier with 371 points, 25 points ahead of Herrin (346) and 32 ahead of Fong (339). Gagne and Kelly closed the top 5 in a championship where uncertainty lasted until the final race.
