Harley’s Wyman Sweeps 2025 King of the Baggers Daytona Double
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman started his 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers season in perfect fashion with wins in both races at Daytona International Speedway. His win on Saturday afternoon in the final race of the MotoAmerica weekend was his fifth straight victory at the “World Center of Racing.”
Unlike Friday when he secured a rare runaway Daytona victory, S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Troy Herfoss made Wyman earn Saturday’s win. The pair battled at the front, played the cat-and-mouse game on the final lap, and then pulled the pin with Wyman holding Herfoss off at the finish line by .056 of a second.
Herfoss had crashed while gaining ground on Wyman on Friday and was fortunate to score a handful of points after remounting to finish eighth.
Third place on Saturday went to Mission King Of The Baggers rookie Loris Baz, the Frenchman earning his first podium in just his second outing, and he did so with an injured left arm from Friday’s turn-one crash.
The third member of the S&S/Indian Motorcycle team, Tyler O’Hara, finished fourth, behind his two teammates.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers was fifth, some three seconds ahead of his teammate Hayden Gillim. Friday’s fourth-place finisher Kyle Ohnsorg was seventh on his TAB Performance Indian Challenger, well clear of Saddlemen Race Development’s Jake Lewis and Cory West.
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Bradley Smith crashed but managed to finish 10th a day after finishing second in his Mission King Of The Baggers debut.
“I was confident because all five of these wins, I’ve led out of the chicane,” Wyman said. “Leading the 200, two out of three of the XR wins, I led out of the chicane. So, it’s not all what everybody kind of worries. It’s how you get around the banking, how you place yourself, how you use the banking to your advantage to get a better run when the track flattens out. There’s a lot of things that I’ve learned over the course of 16 years coming here, and then flat track before that. Drafting on the miles. It’s definitely my element. It was super fun. Just the game of it’s eight laps. We’re kind of just waiting until the last lap, trying to figure out where each of us are going to try to do what. I think we both tried to bite off a lap at one point or another, and then realized that nobody was really going to go away. I knew tire conservation was going to be a big deal. Tried to really chill out in the first half of the race, tried to leave a little bit for the end. It worked out.”
