Josh Herrin won MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Race Two Sunday at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington. Riding his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R on Dunlop Sportmax Slick control tires, Herrin took the lead, crept away from the field with a consistently fast pace, and won the 16-lap race by 5.063 seconds. It was Herrin’s second win of the season and the 12th Superbike win of his career.

Bobby Fong was fourth on the opening lap but was able to push forward to a second-place finish on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha YZF-R1.

Race One winner Cameron Petersen got off to a strong start in Race Two but said he suffered from arm pump problems and had to settle for third place on his Attack Performance/Progressive Yamaha Racing YZF-R1.

Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz was unable to convert his pole position to a podium finish, but the Frenchman was able to score fourth place.

Sean Dylan Kelly bounced back from a non-point-scoring finish in Race One to grab fifth place on his EasyHealthPlans.com/TopPro Racing BMW in Race Two.

Hayden Gillim used a last-lap pass to secure sixth on his Real Steel Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP.

Xavi Fores ran as high as fifth on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000R but fell victim to Kelly and Gillim in the second half of the race and ended up seventh.

Five-time Champion Cameron Beaubier, who is still recovering from a broken right heel, crossed the finish line 0.199 second behind Fores and collected eighth-place points.

Three-time and defending Champion Jake Gagne ran fifth in the early laps but slipped back to eventually finish ninth.

Fores’ teammate Brandon Paasch passed Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach on the last lap to grab 10th.
