Podium Replica As Beach Bests Petersen and SDK For Double Victory

MONTEREY, CA (July 12, 2026) — Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s JD Beach completed a perfect weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, repeating his Saturday masterclass, by leading all 20 laps to secure a commanding victory in Sunday’s Quad Lock Superbike Race 2.

Beach, starting second on the grid, again wasted no time at the start, seizing the lead before the close of the opening lap, and never looking back.

While Saturday’s victory was a career milestone for Beach in the dry, Sunday’s performance solidified his dominance as he displayed consistent pace that opened a comfortable gap from the rest of the field, ultimately crossing the finish line 3.437 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, for his fifth career Superbike victory.

Wrench Motorcycles’ Cameron Petersen, who started from pole, found himself in third by the close of the first lap, where he found himself in familiar territory, staring at the rear wheel of Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen after Jacobsen slipped past him at the start. On Lap 7, Petersen made his move past Jacobsen to take second place, which he held until the checkered flag.

The battle for the final podium position developed as OrangeCat Racing’s Sean Dylan Kelly capitalized on the closing laps. SDK, who remained a constant threat in the lead pack, moved past Jacobsen on Lap 15, securing his second third-place finish of the weekend.

Jacobsen, who led the chase behind Beach for much of the race, ultimately settled for fourth.

Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong rounded out the top five, finishing 8.264 seconds behind his teammate Beach.

Other notable finishers included Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law teammates Loris Baz in sixth and Benjamin Smith in seventh. OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe, Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim, and M4 Ecstar Suzuki’s Brandon Paasch completed the top 10.
