2013 Daytona 200 Qualifying Results
Cameron Beaubier claimed pole for the 72nd DAYTONA 200 on Friday. Beaubier, on board his Yamaha Extended Services/Graves Yamaha YZF-R6, dominated the field to set a best time of 1:49.612 on the 3.51-mile traditional motorcycle course in the afternoon session.
The 20 year-old topped a front row of teammate Garrett Gerloff, Bobby Fong of Triple Crown/RMR, and Jake Zemke of Desmo Veloce for the 57-lap contest.
Beaubier led most of the session by a wide margin, eventually ending up with more than a second’s advantage over the rest of the field when the session ended. Beaubier won the Rolex Daytona Cosmograph traditionally awarded to the DAYTONA 200 pole winner handily, but his rivals are expecting to give him a tougher task on Saturday.
Cameron Beaubier (Y.E.S. Yamaha YZF-R6 SportBike) says: “This morning, conditions weren’t good but in the afternoon, the temperatures came up. I got a good draft on the straightaway at the finish.”
The front row offers a varying level of rider experience. Veteran Zemke is a former DAYTONA 200 winner while Gerloff has never competed in the 200-mile race before.
Row two is packed with some of the best young riders in the country. J.D. Beach of RoadRace Factory heads up the second row, along with Meen Motorsports’ Jake Lewis, last year’s winner Joey Pascarella on the Riders Discount Triumph and LTD Racing’s Huntley Nash.
The sighting lap for the 72nd DAYTONA 200 begins at 12:40 p.m. local time Saturday. The race will be televised on SPEED in a next-day delayed broadcast beginning at 1:30 p.m. EST/10:30 a.m. PST on Sunday.
