At Laguna Seca, the seventh and eighth races of the 2025 King Of The Baggers series saw Harley-Davidson factory rider Kyle Wyman extend his points lead to 76 points ahead of Indian’s Loris Baz, with six races left in the season.
After stellar performances in qualifying, Wyman started from pole position in Race 1 but was passed by the Vance & Hines Road Glide of Hayden Gillim. But by the second lap, Gillim’s motorcycle started smoking and leaking oil, causing a red flag. Following the restart, Wyman held onto the lead while Baz, Indian’s Troy Herfoss, and the Vance & Hines Harley of Rocco Landers battled behind him. Wyman finished in 1st, with Baz in 2nd and Landers in 3rd.
In Race 2, Wyman once again led the start before being passed by Gillim. Wyman continued to stay close to Gillim and wait for a chance to pass. In the meantime, teammates Bradley Smith and James Rispoli went down at separate times, leaving only Wyman to secure a spot for the H-D factory team. In the last lap, Gillim’s bike lost power, giving Wyman a lucky break to shoot into 1st to secure his second win of the weekend, followed by Landers and Indian’s Tyler O’Hara.
The King Of The Baggers will return Aug. 15-17 at Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course in Lexington, Ohio. For more details about the Laguna Seca races, read H-D’s press release below.

MILWAUKEE (July 13, 2025) – The Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Kyle Wyman continued his domination of the 2025 Mission King of the Baggers road racing series, setting a new lap record to lead qualifying, and winning the Mission Challenge, and both races in a double-header race weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif. His #33 race-prepared Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycle has carried Wyman to six victories and in eight King of the Baggers races this season, and a massive 76-point lead in the series standings.
Wyman Does the KOB Double
Wyman set the pace for the King of the Baggers field with a new track record lap time of 1:27.524 on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn Laguna Seca course to claim pole position in the Saturday qualifying session. Wyman also won the three-lap Mission Challenge dash for cash by 1.741 seconds over Factory Indian rider Loris Baz.
At the start of the eight-lap King of the Baggers main event on Saturday, Wyman and RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim led the field, with Gillim passing Wyman for the lead at Turn 7 of the first lap. On the second lap, the race was stopped for oil on the track after Gillim’s motorcycle had a mechanical issue. On the restart, Wyman charged off the line and opened a gap of 0.50 seconds over Baz, Factory Indian rider Troy Herfoss, and RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Rocco Landers. Teammates Baz and Herfoss battled for second position with Landers lurking just behind. On the final lap Herfoss attempted to pass Baz in the Corkscrew Turn and ran wide, allowing Landers past to take 3rd position. Wyman crossed the finish line 2.059 seconds clear of Baz, with Landers, claiming his first podium finish of the season, just 0.083 seconds back in 3rd place.
On Sunday, Wyman led off the start only to be passed by Gillim in Turn 2. Herfoss and Baz trailed close behind the leaders. On lap four, Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory rider Bradley Smith charged into the mix. Baz and Smith traded positions several times before Smith and Baz both ran off the track on lap five. In the closing laps, Gillim and Wyman had a 3.0-second lead over Landers, who moved up to 3rd place when Smith and Baz went off track. On the closing lap, Gillim suddenly lost power as he and Wyman descended the Corkscrew Turn and Wyman roared past to take the lead and the win by 1.449 seconds over Landers, with Indian rider Tyler O’Hara finishing 3rd.
“Obviously (patience) played a huge role for me today,” said Wyman, who now has a record 24 victories in the King of the Baggers series. “Hayden’s been riding well all weekend. It’s such a shame for him, he deserves to be on the box probably yesterday and today. I’m just so happy for the Harley-Davidson team to be having the year we’re having. When you work hard at something, good things can happen, and you’ve got to just keep chugging.”
After eight of 14 rounds in the 2025 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, Wyman leads in series points with 186, followed by Baz with 110 points, Herfoss with 104 points, O’Hara with 86 points, Landers with 77 points, Smith with 76 points, and Rispoli with 63 points.
