HARLEY-DAVIDSON® X DYNOJET FACTORY RIDER KYLE WYMAN CLINCHES 2025 MISSION KING OF THE BAGGERS CHAMPIONSHIP AT CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS Hayden Gillim Rides RevZilla/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson to Race Win on Saturday Harley-Davidson Claims AFT Manufacturers Title as Briar Bauman Closes Season with Victory MILWAUKEE (September 15, 2025) – Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Kyle Wyman was crowned 2025 Mission King of the Baggers champion during the MotoAmerica double-header at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Wyman, capping a dominating season in the series, secured his second King of the Baggers championship on Saturday aboard a race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle. With two races left on the schedule, his points lead in the class is insurmountable. RevZilla/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim scored his second King of the Baggers series victory of the season on Saturday after setting a new track record to top King of the Bagger qualifying. On Sunday, Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith finished in third place for his third King of the Baggers podium finish of the season. “It’s hard to (put this moment into words),” said Wyman following the presentation of the champion’s #1 plate on Saturday. “This team deserves it. They’ve been working so hard to earn this position we were in this weekend. I just can’t thank them enough. Sticking behind me with three heart-breakers in a row, for us to get it done this year in this fashion is just amazing. We are having a hell of a year. My wife Hannah and I just welcomed our first child. He’s five weeks old. He’s here this weekend. We’ve got (James) Rispoli wrapping up the Super Hooligan championship on a Harley-Davidson for KWR Racing and now, once again, we are King of the Baggers champions. It’s been an incredible year and thanks to Harley-Davidson we will bring this number one back to Milwaukee. It’s a dream to be able to do something this important to so many people. You grow up as a racer and you want a factory ride but really you want what you’re doing to mean something. This means a hell of a lot.” With two races left on the 2025 Mission King of the Baggers schedule, Wyman has scored seven race wins, and three additional podium finishes in 12 races while building a lead in the series standings that now stands at 70 points. Wyman also leads all entrants in the King of the Baggers series with 25 career race wins. Wyman won the King of the Baggers championship in 2021, finished in third place in 2022 and 2023, and was second in the series in 2024. Saturday King of the Baggers results were dominated by Gillim, who rode a race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle to set a new track record for the class in qualifying with a lap of 2:12.975 around the 3.4-mile, 20-turn Circuit of the Americas course. Gillim next won the three-lap King of the Baggers Mission Challenge race by 3.025 seconds. In the 7-lap King of the Baggers main event, Gillim led from the start and by the second lap had a 1.3-second lead over Factory Indian riders Loris Baz and Troy Herfoss, Wyman and Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith. Herfoss dropped off the leader’s pace after two laps and by mid-race Gillim’s lead stretched to more than two seconds. RevZilla/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Rocco Landers charged up from eighth on the starting grid to pass Smith and Wyman and battled with Baz for second place in the closing laps. Gillim crossed the finish line 3.317 second clear of Baz, with Landers in third 0.111 seconds behind Baz. Wyman finished fourth ahead of Smith and Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider James Rispoli. “This crew from Vance and Hines has really been working hard all season,” said Gillim following his second victory of the season. “My start was good and I made it to the front through the first turn and just put my head down.” The Sunday King of the Baggers main event started with a close call for Wyman and Gillim, as the two Harley-Davidson riders came together in the tight first turn. Both riders remained upright and Wyman held the lead as Gillim dropped back to fifth place. Wyman led the first three laps with Herfoss, Baz, and a charging Gillim on his rear wheel. Herfoss passed Wyman for the lead on lap four and opened a half-second gap. Gillim passed Wyman to claim second place on lap 6 but ran off the track later on that lap and rejoined the field in ninth place. On the final lap Wyman ran onto the curbing trying to chase down Herfoss, went off the track and was not able to continue. Herfoss led Baz across the finish line by 1.447 seconds. Smith finished third, 7.014 seconds behind Baz. “Today patience got me on the podium,” said Smith. “I’ll take the 16 points and the bonus. Kyle Wyman is King of the Baggers champion and tonight the team will go out and celebrate that number one and take it back to Milwaukee, so we are pumped.” After 12 of 14 rounds in the 2025 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, Kyle Wyman leads in series points with 240, followed by Baz with 170, Herfoss with 158 points, Factory Indian rider Tyler O’Hara with 128 points, Gillim with 127 points, Rispoli with 110 points, and Smith with 103 points.
