Superbike

Believe it or not Jake Gagné made a mistake in Friday’s Q1 session at Barber Motorsports Park, the Yamaha Fresh N ‘Lean Attack Performance rider crashed out of the session and allowed someone to other to reach the top. In the end, it was Cameron Petersen (M4 ECSTAR Suzuki) who took advantage of Gagné’s mistake to take the provisional pole position in the three HONOS Superbike races this weekend.

Petersen’s fastest lap was his last lap, with the South African clocking 1: 23.613 to edge compatriot Mathew Scholtz by 0.567 seconds. Despite falling early in the session, Gagné was still able to get third time – 0.682 seconds slower than Petersen.
Gagné’s teammate Josh Herrin and Scheibe Racing BMW’s Hector Barbera round out the top five on Friday.
