H-D Racers Kody Kopp and Aidan RoosEvans Finish Second and Third, Kopp Maintains SuperTwins Series Points Lead
MILWAUKEE (May 3, 2026) – Super.com/Rick Ware Racing/Jacob Construction/Parts Plus rider Briar Bauman led a Harley-Davidson sweep of the Mission AFT SuperTwins podium at the CRESCO CAT Rentals Silver Dollar Short Track in Chico, Calif. Bauman raced a Harley-Davidson XG750R motorcycle to his second consecutive decisive victory of the season and 36th premier-class win of his career. Series points leader Latus Motors Racing/Harley-Davidson/BMC Racing rider Kody Kopp finished second on a Harley-Davidson XG750R motorcycle. FRA Trust Advisors rider Aidan RoosEvans, also on a Harley-Davidson XG750R motorcycle, finished third to score the first podium result of his rookie SuperTwins season.
“Last week, I knew that we were ready. And now these guys know that we are ready,” said Bauman, who also won the Ventura Short Track on April 25 and swept the Mission AFT SuperTwins West Coast swing. “I’m fired up. It’s so hard to lead on these types of racetracks. I’ve never looked back that much in my life. But Kody is so witty, and his dad is so good, and Dave Z is so good, I knew they were going to find something. So I kept looking, but I finally found something that was good enough to get us to the win. I’m super excited for the team.”
Bauman, a two-time Grand National champion, set the pace early, winning his heat race by 2.394 seconds over RoosEvans and the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge bonus sprint on a bumpy quarter-mile Silver Dollar Speedway track. Kopp got the hole shot and led the first lap of the main event (eight minutes plus two laps) before Bauman made a low-side pass and started building a lead that stretched to 1.9 seconds at the mid-way point of the race. Kopp raced alone in second place, while RoosEvans engaged in a race-long battle with Yamaha rider Dallas Daniels and KTM rider Davis Fisher. Bauman crossed the finish line 2.164 seconds clear of Kopp and 8.239 seconds ahead of RoosEvans, who nipped Daniels by 0.271 seconds to secure third place.
After five of 16 rounds in the 2026 Mission AFT SuperTwins championship, Kopp leads with 103 points, followed by Daniels with 91 points and Bauman with 85 points.
The AFT Mission SuperTwins series resumes May 16 at the ThrottleFest Budds Creek Half-Mile in Mechanicsville, Md.
