JD Beach took his third straight AMA Pro Supersport win at Road America today around the 4.05 mile Elk Hart track.
Beach had heavy competition from teammate and pole sitter Cameron Beaubier. Beach and Beaubier traded spots two and three behind a fast Huntley Nash throughout the race.
Nash crashed out on the last lap, opening the door to Beaubier and Beach, but Beaubier ended up low siding on turn 12, handing Beach his third victory of the 2010 season. Beach only led the race for two out of the 10 laps, but now leads teammate Beaubier 114 to 102 in the overall standings.
"Today in qualifying I had a little bit of a tipover and destroyed the bike. I had to go out in the race on my B bike so I had to get used to that. I just sat there and watched everybody battling. I was going faster than I did yesterday, and then the last lap I set a good lap. I have to get more used to that bike and break away tomorrow."
Tomas Puerta took second, 2.227 seconds behind Beach.
"It was a good race, it was really tough," said Puerta. "I have to race more focused. I made a couple of big mistakes and I lost the gap so I have to be focusing on the race."
James Rispoli took third for the day.
