In the advance materials for the Barber Vintage Festival that is playing out this weekend it is stated: "Finally, Josh Herrin is dusting off the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati V4 R that he rode to victory in the 2024 MotoAmerica Superbike series. ...Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum will honor Eraldo Ferracci, the grand marshal of the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival, with a parade of Fast By Ferracci race bikes on the Barber Motorsports Park road course."

Agents of Soup have been on scene all weekend in Leeds and say Mr. Herrin did not ride the bike and did not attend the event.

Does this explain Herrin's absence? Now numerous sources suggest that Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati has signed new MotoA' Superbike champion Cameron Beaubier to race the Warhorse Ducati in 2026.

Will Warhorse HSBK Racing run two Superbikes in 2026 (along with the Rahal/Spies Superbike entry ridden by PJ Jacobsen)?
