Cameron Beaubier Leads An Ultra-Close Q1 As The Pack Closes In On Ben Spies’ Lap Record

LEXINGTON, OH (August 16, 2024) – Ben Spies’ 16-year-old Superbike lap record at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course will live for at least another day as Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Cameron Beaubier flirted with the mark but couldn’t quite get it done on a sunny and breezy day at the iconic racing facility.

The last time Cameron Beaubier turned a wheel in anger at Mid-Ohio Sport Car Course was the last time the AMA Superbike Series raced at the iconic track – 10 years ago. Beaubier won race one and was second in race two. Fast forward to now and it was Beaubier who was best on the day in the Dunlop official test that leads into this weekend’s Permco Superbikes at Mid-Ohio event.

Beaubier’s best lap was a 1:24.126 and it came in the second of the four sessions on an overcast day at Mid-Ohio and he was the only rider in the top five to do his best lap in the second session – even though he led all of the first three sessions and elected to sit out the fourth session due to a light rain falling.
