KYLE WYMAN AND HARLEY FACTORY TEAM WIN KING OF THE BAGGERS FINAL AT NEW JERSEY

MILWAUKEE, WI (September 11, 2022) – Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® factory rider Kyle Wyman led every lap to win the MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers race on Sunday at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, N.J. Starting from the pole position on a race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® motorcycle, Wyman navigated a rain-soaked track to win by 0.655 seconds in the last race of the 2022 season. The victory was the third of the season for the defending King of the Baggers series champion. Tyler O’Hara finished second, followed by Michael Barnes on the Daytona Harley-Davidson/Hoban Brothers Racing Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycle.

Wyman also won the three-lap Mission King of the Baggers Challenge Racing on Saturday.

Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle factory rider Travis Wyman led the King of the Baggers series by three points coming into this final round, and was in third place on the second of seven laps when he crashed on the wet track and slid onto the grass. Travis managed to pick up his Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycle and re-entered the race, finishing 9th.

At the end of the 2022 season, O’Hara was at the top of the standings with 123 points. Travis Wyman placed second with 113 points, followed by Kyle Wyman with 111 points.

“I’m happy to have had another sweep of the weekend,” said Kyle Wyman. “I think this is the first time I’ve won a race in the rain. It’s bittersweet because Travis went down, but I’d rather have him pushing and try to win a championship than settle for third. I think we were all looking forward to a real showdown race on a dry track but anything can happen in racing. I want to thank all of our fans and everyone on the Harley-Davidson team, all those folks in the gray shirts, for all of their hard work this season. I’m already looking forward to Daytona next year.”

For the season Travis Wyman had one race win (Road America) and finished second three times. Kyle Wyman won three races (Atlanta, Monterey and New Jersey) and had two other podium appearances.

The Mission King of the Baggers series features race-prepared American V-Twin touring motorcycles. Harley-Davidson® Factory Team Road Glide® motorcycles are powered by modified Screamin’ Eagle® Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight® 131 Performance Crate Engines.
