Harley Takes a One-Two at Second King Of The Baggers Round

If Kyle Wyman felt under any pressure going into round two of the 2021 King Of The Baggers 3-race series , it didn ' t show as he managed to channel it into giving the H-D Screamin ' Eagle factory team its first series win after his second place to the S & S / Tyler O ' Hara Indian Challenger at Road Atlanta . Racing at Road America ( Plymouth , Wisconsin - just up the road from Milwaukee ) on June 13th , Wyman started from pole and led all the way to the checkered flag ; the Motor Company swept the podium with new recruit Travis Wyman second and Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson ' s Hayden Gillim finishing third . The championship leader coming into the Road America weekend was Mission Foods S & S Cycle Indian Challenger ' s Tyler O ' Hara , but the Californian ' s Indian suffered a mechanical problem while trailing Kyle Wyman .

" It ' s amazing ," Wyman said . " There was ( Harley-Davidson ' s ) Bill Davidson congratulating me in victory lane , and the who ' s- who of the Motor Company was here to see it . I think they gave away 200 tickets to employees this weekend . There were people that came out specifically just to watch this race - so to get it done here in Harley ' s backyard is just an incredible feeling . " Those guys deserve it . They work so hard . Harley has put a pretty large number of people on this project full-time . They were told , look , this is racing . You don ' t punch out at 5 o ' clock . Those guys are putting in the hours and putting in the extra time , and it ' s all paying off . It ' s amazing also to have my brother finish second ." It wasn ' t a day of unalloyed joy for Wyman though - later that same day he broke his left arm , crashing while running seventh in the 12-lap MotoAmerica HONOS Supersport Race Two , going into the chicane on his Panera Bread KWR Ducati Panigale V4 R . Wyman was placed eighth in the Supersport championship table for the season so far before crashing and will likely now need surgery . Following this second round of the three-race KOTB series ,
Wyman leads the standings , ahead of Vance & Hines ' Hayden Gillim in second , and Frankie Garcia third on the Roland Sands Design Indian Challenger . The next MotoAmerica race is June 25-27 at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton , Washington . The third and final round of the King Of The Baggers series will take place July 9-11 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca . 12 AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - JULY 2021 www . AMDchampionship . com
