MILWAUKEE (August 11, 2025) – Rick Ware Racing/Parts Plus/Latus Motors rider Briar Bauman rode a Harley-Davidson® XG750R motorcycle to one win and two additional podium finishes during three nights of racing at the historic Jackpine Gypsies short track near Sturgis, S.D., earning vital points in the closely contested Mission SuperTwins championship battle in the 2025 Progressive American Flat Track (AFT) series. Bauman extended his SuperTwins series lead to seven points. Mission/Roof Systems rider Brandon Robinson also claimed a SuperTwins race win aboard a Harley-Davidson XG750R—his first victory on the bike after playing a key role in its long-term development. In the first AFT AdventureTrackers race of the season, WFOracingonline.com rider Jesse Janisch rode a Harley-Davidson Pan America® 1250 Special to a win and a runner-up finish as the series made its Sturgis debut. H-D Pan America riders Danny Eslick (Saddlemen Race Development) and Henry Wiles (Walters Bros. Harley-Davidson/Wiebler’s Harley-Davidson) also earned podium results. The tripleheader week of short track and TT racing was staged in conjunction with the 85th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Bauman Adds to AFT SuperTwins Points Lead, Robinson Earns First Victory August 4 – The Sturgis AFT SuperTwins triple-header opened on August 4 with Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I. For the second time this season, the event featured the Mission Triple-Challenge format, with the SuperTwins field contesting three races: a 10-lap sprint opener, a 15-lap race, and a 20-lap final. Points escalated with each race, and championship points were awarded based on the combined totals. Bauman set the tone early, topping qualifying with a best lap of 13.435 seconds on the tight 1/5-mile Jackpine Gypsies oval—the shortest track on the 2025 AFT SuperTwins schedule. In the 10-lap sprint, he led from the start with Mission/Roof Systems/Harley-Davidson rider Brandon Robinson and Yamaha’s Dallas Daniels, his closest title rival, in pursuit. Daniels moved past Robinson after two laps, but Bauman had already opened a gap, stretching his lead to 1.329 seconds at the finish. Daniels took second, with Robinson in third. The 15-lap second race was twice red-flagged for on-track incidents. On the third restart, Bauman again took the lead, but Daniels executed a pass for the win mid-race. Bauman held on for second, 0.650 seconds behind Daniels, with Royal Enfield’s Max Whale in third. The 20-lap finale turned into a showdown between Bauman and Daniels, the two swapping the lead several times in the opening laps. Daniels then took control at the front, with Bauman close behind and Robinson, Whale, and Honda’s Trent Lowe in the mix. On lap 19, Bauman retook the lead and held off Daniels and Robinson to claim his second win of the night and the overall event victory with a 1-2-1 score—his sixth AFT SuperTwins win of the season. Daniels (2-1-2) placed second overall, with Robinson (3-4-3) third. “Dallas took me to school in the second Main Event,” said Bauman. “To come back and get him—he usually just builds momentum and gets better throughout the night—was huge. My Rick Ware Racing/Parts Plus/Latus Motors team worked really, really hard. We changed quite a bit of stuff even though we’d been fast all day. Dallas is so good. I’ve never been this stressed out all the time, but we’re out here, baby, and we’re working for it.” August 5 – AFT SuperTwins raced under its traditional format for Jackpine Gypsies Short Track II. Robinson paced the field in qualifying with a best lap of 13.081 seconds on the Mission/Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R motorcycle. Robinson finished second to Daniels in the first heat race, and Bauman won his heat race. At the start of the main event Daniels led the field with Robinson, Bauman and KTM rider Davis Fisher battling on his rear wheel. Robinson passed Daniels to take the lead at the 7-minute mark and the trio of Robinson, Daniels and Bauman opened a gap on the field. At the 4-minute mark Bauman took a low line attempting to pass Daniels for second place and contact sent Daniels to the track. The race was stopped for a red flag, and Bauman and Daniels were penalized and sent to the back of the field for the restart. Robinson led away from the restart as Daniels and Bauman charged from the back row through a pack of 14 bikes. Bauman passed Daniels and worked his way up to third place in the closing laps, while Daniels finished 5th. Robinson crossed the finish line 1.151 seconds ahead of Fisher, with Bauman 1.634 seconds back in third place. Robinson’s win was the first for any rider this season other than title contenders Bauman and Daniels. August 8 – The Jackpine Gypsies facility was converted to a 0.35-mile TT course on a combination dirt and paved surface for the final event of the week, the Jackpine Gypsies Super TT. Bauman finished second to top qualifier Daniels in their heat race, and the pair of rivals lined up on the front row for the main event. Daniels led off the start as Wiles slotted into second with Bauman third. On the second lap Wiles missed a gear shift and Bauman charged past, giving chase to Daniels. Bauman could not quite match the pace set by Daniels on the very technical TT course and trailed by 5.781 seconds at the finish. Wiles finished third. Robinson left the race after 8 laps with a mechanical issue. After 12 of 16 rounds in the 2025 AFT Mission SuperTwins championship, Bauman leads with 243 points, followed by Daniels with 236. Robinson is third with 164 points. The AFT Mission SuperTwins series returns to action August 16 for the Peoria TT at the Peoria Motorcycle Club in Bartonville, Ill.

In the single 10-lap main event, Janisch passed Suzuki rider Dan Bromley on the second lap and then held the lead as the pair battled for the rest of the race. Janisch, who had ridden a Pan America 1250 Special for back-country exploring in the Black Hills earlier in the day, won by 0.282 seconds. Triumph rider Dalton Gauthier finished third. “We’ve been having a blast,” said Janisch following the race. “I got to ride a Pan America 1250 all day yesterday out in the hills, enjoying the scenic views of Sturgis, which was amazing. I’ve got to thank everyone who helped us out. I had a good battle with Dan, and I’m stoked to get the first one.” August 5 – In the second AFT AdventureTrackers™ event Bromley and Janisch swapped results in the in the main event.

Harley-Davidson/Wiebler’s Harley-Davidson rider Henry Wiles and Saddlemen Race Development rider Danny Eslick, both on Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special motorcycles. By the time Janisch broke out of that pack Bromley had opened a lead that stretched to 1.465 seconds at the finish. Luczak finished third, 3.633 seconds behind Bromley. August 8 – Janisch and Bromley lined up on the front row for the AdventureTrackers™ Super TT main event (4 minutes plus 2 laps) in what was expected to be another battle for the two top riders in the class. Bromley led at the start with Janisch right on his wheel and looking for an opportunity to pass in the opening laps, but the fight was over after three laps when Janisch retired with a mechanical issue. Luczak and Harley-Davidson riders Eslick and Wiles took up the chase, but Bromley opened a gap on the field and crossed the finish line 3.596 second clear of Eslick with Wiles third. After three of four rounds in the 2025 AFT AdventureTrackers championship, Bromley leads with 65 points.
