Kyle Wyman Wins at Road Atlanta to Stretch King of the Baggers Points Lead
MILWAUKEE (May 4, 2025) – Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Kyle Wyman led every lap to win this third Mission King of the Baggers race of the season on Sunday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia. Wyman also rode his race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle to a second-place finish on Saturday and stretched his championship lead to 34 points.
“We got a second chance with a red flag on Sunday, so I knew I had to capitalize,” said Wyman. “I had great race pace on the Harley-Davidson Dynojet Road Glide. And I feel like we are building momentum since the start of the year and look forward to running out front for the Harley hometown crowd at Road America.”
Also at Road Atlanta, Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST riders filled all podium positions and dominated the second round of the 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Presented By Roland Sands Designs and Powered by Harley-Davidson. Saddlemen Race Development rider Jake Lewis earned race wins on Saturday and Sunday and now leads the series by 20 points.
On Saturday night in Chico, Calif., Rick Ware Racing/Parts Plus/Latus Motors rider Briar Bauman raced a Harley-Davidson® XG750R motorcycle to a third straight win in Mission AFT SuperTwins flat track competition in the Silver Dollar Short Track at Silver Dollar Speedway and leads the AFT premier class championship by 10 points.
Wyman Stretches Series Lead
Kyle Wyman qualified on the Mission King of the Baggers pole with a best lap time of 1:29.152 on the 2.55-mile, 12-turn Road Atlanta road course. Racing on a wet track on Saturday, Wyman pulled away from the field early but found himself in a battle with Factory Indian rider Loris Baz in the closing laps of the 7-lap race. Baz passed for the lead at turn 10 on the final lap and held on for a 0.199 seconds win over Wyman. Factory Indian rider Troy Herfoss finished third, 3.205 seconds back. RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim finished fourth, and Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith was sixth.
In sunny and dry conditions on Sunday, the Mission King of the Baggers race was stopped twice for a red flag, first on the opening lap for an on-track incident involving Kyle Ohnsorg and Rocco Landers that Wyman barely avoided after a poor start, and again on lap 2 of the restart when the engine of the Factory Indian ridden by Herfoss failed and oiled the track. Wyman took off on the second re-start, posting a blazing first lap of 1:29.108 to open a gap on Baz that stretched to more than one second. Wyman finished 1.797 seconds ahead of second-place Baz. Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider James Rispoli, Smith and Gillim waged a race-long battle for third place with Smith gaining the last podium spot by 0.107 seconds over Rispoli in fourth with Gillim a further 0.090 seconds back in fifth place.
After 4 of 14 rounds in the 2025 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, Wyman leads in series points with 95, followed by Baz with 61 points, Smith with 52, and Herfoss with 44 points.
