Road America Offers Up Close Racing as the MotoAmerica Series Returns June 3-5
ELKHART LAKE, Wis., – May 31, 2022 – Fast racetracks breed close races. And there are none faster on the MotoAmerica schedule than Road America. Thus, there is nowhere like the iconic racetrack in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where the difference between happiness and heartbreak is minute.
The average margin of victory in the MotoAmerica Superbike races held at Road America since 2015 is 2.49 seconds. And that includes Josh Hayes’ “runaway” win over Cameron Beaubier in race two in 2015 by 4.586 seconds.
The closest Superbike race was .002 of a second when Cameron Beaubier beat Josh Herrin in race one in 2018. The next day he beat him again by .195 of a second.
Here’s betting all of those classes feature close finishes again as the MotoAmerica Superbike & Vintage MotoFest Weekend returns June 3-5 .
