Daytona 200... In dominating fashion, Cameron Beaubier won the 72nd running of the Daytona 200 aboard his #6 Yamaha Extended Service/Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha YZF-R6. Meanwhile, Garrett Gerloff, who is Cameron's teammate in the AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class, finished in a strong second place. The top-five finishers in the Daytona 200 were all Yamaha R6-mounted, and they lapped the rest of the field in a remarkable show of strength for the Yamaha brand.
During the race, Cameron, who earned the coveted Rolex Daytona Cosmograph wristwatch for winning the pole for the Daytona 200, continued his dominance of the 3.51-mile Daytona International Speedway road course. Cameron clicked off consistently fast lap after lap and took advantage of flawless pitstops by his Y.E.S./Monster Energy/Graves Yamaha crew to keep his advantage throughout the 57-lap event. After the win, Cameron said, "What a day. My crew gave me an awesome R6, and our pitstops were just fantastic. The guys gave me a couple of seconds every time in the pits, and I was able to run quick laps the whole day long. It went great."
"It was just awesome being in the front group, Garrett said. "I'm proud that our team went 1-2 in the race. It was a long race, and I'm really happy with the result. The team gave me amazing pitstops."
The Daytona 200 airs on SPEED at 1:30pm ET on Sunday, March 17. Visit SPEED to confirm airtimes in your area.

AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike... Following up his first career AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike win in yesterday's race, Josh Herrin finished second in Sunday's SuperBike Race 2 at Daytona International Speedway. Unfortunately for Josh Herrin's teammate, three-time defending SuperBike Champion Josh Hayes, adversity struck the Mississippi Madman when his #1 Yamaha YZF-R1 expired at the beginning of Lap 12 with a mechanical issue.
Josh Herrin took up the charge for the Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha team and battled with Foremost Insurance/Pegram Racing/Yamaha R1 rider Larry Pegram for second place all the way to the finish line, with Josh finishing just ahead of Larry, who was third at the checkered flag. After the race, Josh Herrin said, "I felt comfortable with the pace while I was sitting behind Josh, and it was unfortunate for him that he was unable to finish the race. I'm happy to get second today after my win yesterday and really happy to be leading in the Championship points."
"Josh and I had a good battle to the finish line," Larry said. "And I did all I could to draft past him at the line...but it wasn't to be. Still, I'm happy to get two podium finishes on my Yamaha R1. It's a great start to the season for our Foremost Insurance/Pegram Racing/Yamaha team. On the strength of his win and second-place finish, Josh Herrin leaves Daytona with the points lead in the 2013 AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Championship.
