Indian Motorcycle Racing and Troy Herfoss Win at Circuit of the Americas, Now Two Points Back in King of the Baggers Championship Standings Three-Time Australian Superbike Champion Troy Herfoss Goes 1-2 Aboard S&S Indian Challenger, Eyes Potential First-Career King of the Baggers Championship as Final Round Approaches AUSTIN, TX. (September 16, 2024) –Indian Motorcycle Factory Racing delivered a remarkable performance this weekend at Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Down 14 points heading into the eighth round of the 2024 King of the Baggers (KOTB) season, Indian Motorcycle factory rider Troy Herfoss delivered the results needed to make a final push for his first-career KOTB championship – piloting his No. 17 S&S Indian Challenger to his sixth win and sixth second-place finish of the season. Herfoss started the weekend off hot, winning the Mission Foods Challenge, its $5,000 prize, and qualifying for the pole position for the weekend’s KOTB doubleheader. Race 1 saw both Indian Motorcycle factory riders run in the front pack, as Herfoss took second and Tyler O’Hara successfully edged out Harley-Davidson factory rider Kyle Wyman for third – further widening the point differential between Herfoss and Wyman. In Race 2, Herfoss showcased his racing prowess, leading all six laps with precision and successfully capping off the weekend with his sixth KOTB victory. “This was a great team effort, as S&S had the Indian Challengers dialed in to near perfection while Troy and Tyler worked together to fully maximize this important weekend at COTA,” said Gary Gray, Vice President Racing and Service for Indian Motorcycle. “We’re riding a high after that performance and carrying momentum into New Jersey that will put us in great position to fight for the No. 1 plate.” MotoAmerica’s King of the Baggers season concludes with a doubleheader at New Jersey Motorsports Park September 27-29. The 2024 season has seen an intense battle between the two factory teams, as both Herfoss and Wyman each have six wins and six second-place finishes this season. Since bagger racing’s debut in 2020, when O’Hara won the inaugural race aboard the S&S Indian Challenger, each American V-Twin factory team has earned one KOTB series championship, with Indian Motorcycle winning in 2022 and Harley-Davidson in 2021.
