Gerloff Scores Another Win, Beaubier a Pair of Podiums in Pittsburgh

It was a good weekend for us as whole. From the beginning, Garrett was quickest in every session until Cam (Beaubier) got the Superpole. It was another stellar day on Saturday, a fantastic race with Garrett taking another win and Cameron getting second. Everything was looking really good into Sunday. Unfortunately, we had a problem on Garrett’s bike that sidelined him, which was really too bad. It looked like he was out front, and he would have had the pace to win. On the other side, Cameron did an excellent job battling for the lead. He made a small mistake in the chicane running into the grass, but came back and put in some incredible lap times at the end of the race to finish a real close second to Toni (Elias). He scored some important championship points. Both guys are riding really, really well and the team is doing a fantastic job. We’re still in the hunt for the title and looking forward to New Jersey.

Two second places at Pitt. I had everything I needed to win race two today, but I made a mistake with a few laps to go. I went into the little chicane, and I think I just knifed the brakes pretty hard and the rear end, I don’t know if it slipped or what, but I was in just way too deep. I didn’t want to cut the track because I knew I would have had to give up a position. But I made it worse. I jumped a curb, went through the grass, ended up going a second back or whatever I was. I was just so mad. Just put my head down and rode as hard as I possibly could to try to do something. But it was too late.“Coming up short twice stings when you’re trying to claw back up in the points, but that’s racing. We got two rounds left. I really enjoy the last two tracks, New Jersey and Barber. I’m just gonna keep pushing forward!

The weekend started off well. We pulled the bike out of the truck and everything was working perfect right from the start. We did makes some big changes to the bike setup, but in the end both setups worked really well and we knew we had something strong for the races. In the first race, man, it kind of sucked because I blew a two-second lead on the third lap by running off the track. I came back on in third place and I had to fight and give it all I had to race with Toni and Cameron and still take home the win. But luckily the Yamaha R1 was awesome and I was able to get the win at the end of the day.“Today everything felt good in warmup. I felt like I had a really good bike. We made a few changes that I felt helped. Then during the race, I actually got a really good start. I was leading into the first corner, led the first lap and felt really good. Going into the third corner, the bike just kind of gave out on me. That’s racing sometimes. I’ll be back. I’ll be stronger for the next one. I’m super motivated for the rest of the season and to finish off the year the best that I can.
