The event, held from June 27 to 29, features two new races. This Saturday, Jake Gagne took pole position, but the battle was intense at the front of the field. After a perfect start to the weekend, the Yamaha rider failed to capitalize in Race 1. Josh Herrin won the race. Discover the results of Race 2 now.

Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati rider Josh Herrin had a perfect weekend at Ridge Motorsports Park, notching back-to-back wins and writing a new chapter in his MotoAmerica Superbike history. Before Saturday, he had never won three Superbike races in a row. After a close victory on Saturday, he went one better on Sunday, winning with authority and extending his total to four consecutive victories.

While Herrin handled the pressure in Race 1 during an epic duel with Cameron Beaubier, he dominated Sunday's race. The reigning champion took the lead early on, making no mistakes and dominating his rivals to cross the finish line with a five-second lead. This victory, the 20th of his AMA Superbike career, allows him to tie Fred Merkel, two-time Superbike World Champion and three-time AMA Superbike Champion, for the eighth most decorated rider in the history of the sport..

For the second day in a row, Cameron Beaubier (Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW) finished second. The five-time MotoAmerica Superbike champion, while pleased with his result given his machine's setup, lost the championship lead to Herrin. However, he will approach the next round, at his favorite track, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, with high ambitions..

Jake Gagne (Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing) completed the podium for the second time this weekend, confirming his return to form. He finished 2,8 seconds behind Beaubier, delivering a solid and reassuring performance for the rest of the season. Richie Escalante (Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki) finished fourth, improving by one place on his performance from the day before and remaining less than ten seconds behind the winner..

Hayden Gillim (Real Steel Honda) posted his best performance of the season with a fifth-place finish. The top five was made up of five different brands: Ducati, BMW, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda.

In the overall standings, after four rounds and eight races, Josh Herrin takes the lead with 159 points, ahead of Cameron Beaubier (151 points) and Jake Gagne (125 points), who himself is ahead of his teammate Bobby Fong (117 points). Richie Escalante completes the top five with 5 points.

MotoAmerica will return to action in two weeks at Laguna Seca. This event will take place on the weekend of July 11-13, the same time as the MotoGP German Grand Prix.
