KYLE WYMAN DOMINATES MISSION KING OF THE BAGGERS SEASON OPENER AT DAYTONA
MILWAUKEE (March 8, 2025) – Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Kyle Wyman scored a perfect weekend of racing in the opening round of the 2025 Mission King of the Baggers road racing series at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Fla. Wyman rode a race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle to a new track lap record to top qualifying, won the Mission King of the Baggers Challenge sprint race, and won both Mission King of the Baggers feature races on Friday and Saturday. Wyman has won five consecutive Mission King of the Baggers races at Daytona dating back to 2023 and Saturday’s win gave him 20 total victories in the class. Wyman’s Road Glide carried the all-new team livery which debuted at Daytona earlier in the week with the all-new 2025 CVO™ Road Glide® RR.
“I love racing here at Daytona and there’s no better place to be than victory lane,” said Wyman after Saturday’s win. “It was such a game out there today. The Harley-Davidson Dynojet team put a really fast Road Glide under me and I had the power it took to win twice.”
Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST riders took all six podium spots in the two opening races of the 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship Presented By Roland Sands Designs and Powered by Harley-Davidson. Saddlemen Racing Performance riders Cory West, and Jake Lewis each scored a narrow race win, with their Saddlemen teammate Travis Wyman finishing second in both races by a combined total of .081-seconds. KWR rider James Rispoli finished third in race one.

Wyman led all Mission King of the Baggers qualifiers with a new lap record time of 1:49.383 around the 3.56-mile, 12-turn Daytona International Speedway road course. In first action with the Harley-Davidson® x Dynojet Factory Race Team, former MotoGP rider Bradley Smith qualified fourth, while teammate James Rispoli qualified fifth. Wyman won the two-lap Mission King of the Baggers Challenge race on Saturday, ahead of second-place Rispoli by 0.238 seconds.
Wyman led the 13-bike field at the start of the first eight-lap Mission King of the Baggers race on Friday. In the first turn, Rispoli and S&S/Indian Motorcycle rider Loris Baz touched wheels and both riders went off the course and did not return to the race. Wyman turned a blistering opening lap at 1:49.672 to open a gap on S&S/Indian Motorcycle rider Troy Herfoss and Smith. Herfoss left the track on lap 4 and was able to continue. Wyman crossed the finish line 2.602 seconds clear of second-place Smith. Cam Petersen was third on the SDI Racing Indian.
On Saturday, Wyman, Herfoss, Rispoli, and Baz paced the field at the start of the race, with Wyman and Herfoss trading the lead multiple times. Rispoli ran off track in the infield portion of the track on lap 5 and was unable to continue. Wyman and Herfoss raced wheel-to-wheel in the closing three laps. Wyman took the lead on the final lap as the riders entered the high-bank oval portion of the track and then used a great drive out of the backstraight chicane to open a gap on Herfoss with Wyman and his Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® crossing the finish line 0.056 seconds ahead of Herfoss. Baz finished third, 0.884 seconds behind Wyman.
