WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca has been a consistent venue on the MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike calendar, with doubleheader race weekends in 2023 and 2024.

In the 2024 season, Beaubier and Herrin split the Laguna Seca Superbike wins, with Beaubier winning Race 1 and Herrin taking Race 2, sources confirmed. This contrasts with the 2023 tripleheader at Laguna Seca, where Beaubier won two of the three races, both held on Sunday, and Jake Gagne won the first race on Saturday.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, the tripleheader format at Laguna Seca will include three Superbike races over the weekend. On the Saturday race in 2025, Josh Herrin extended his winning streak to five consecutive MotoAmerica Superbike wins, following sweeps at The Ridge Motorsports Park and Road America. Herrin?s victory at Laguna Seca in 2025 increased his championship lead from eight to 23 points, aided by a mistake from Beaubier that cost the latter positions and points, sources noted.
In that 2025 Saturday race, Bobby Fong finished second on his Attack Performance Progressive Insurance Yamaha, with teammate Jake Gagne completing the podium in third. JD Beach, riding for Real Steel Honda, finished fourth, ahead of Richie Escalante on a Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki, showcasing the variety of manufacturers competing at the front of the field, officials said.
The third race of the 2025 Laguna Seca tripleheader saw Bobby Fong secure the win, with Herrin and Gagne finishing second and third, respectively.

JD Beach finished sixth despite strong previous showings at Laguna Seca on Honda machinery, underscoring the increased competitiveness in the Superbike class, according to official race results.
Historically, Cameron Beaubier?s dominance at Laguna Seca includes multiple double-victory weekends and his two-win Sunday performance in the 2023 tripleheader, reinforcing his status as the circuit?s all-time MotoAmerica Superbike win leader. Josh Herrin?s record at Laguna Seca features victories in 2024 and 2025, including his 2025 Saturday win that extended his personal winning streak. Bobby Fong?s consistent presence at the front includes a close fourth-place finish in 2024 and a Race 3 victory in 2025. Jake Gagne?s record includes a 2023 race win at Laguna Seca and multiple podiums through 2025, maintaining his position in the championship hunt, sources confirmed.

According to official results, Lawrence?s victory moved him ahead of his brother Hunter Lawrence, who had held the red plate entering the sixth round of the season.
Hunter Lawrence won the first 450 class moto at the Southwick National but was unable to hold off his younger brother Jett Lawrence in the second moto, according to official results from the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. The event was held Saturday, July 11, 2026, at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, marking the sixth round of the 2026 season and the 23rd round of the SMX series.

Jett Lawrence?s 2-1 moto finishes earned him 47 points to Hunter?s 43, allowing Jett to reclaim the championship points lead by a margin of at least one point, sources confirmed.
In Moto 1, Hunter Lawrence capitalized on a late-race fall by Jett Lawrence, who had been leading the race, to take the victory by approximately eight seconds, according to Cyclenews.

Hunter Lawrence finished a distant fourth in the second moto, which contributed to Jett?s overall points advantage for the day. Jett?s win in Moto 2 was his sixth moto victory of the season and ended a two-race winless streak in the premier 450 class outdoors, official records show.
