MILWAUKEE (September 29, 2025) – RevZilla/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim rode a race-prepared Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycle to his third win of the season on Saturday and a 2nd-place finish on Sunday as the Mission King Of The Baggers series completed the 2025 season with a double-header weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey.
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Kyle Wyman, who clinched the series title at Circuit of the Americas on Sept. 14, rode a race-prepared Road Glide in special gold livery on Sunday to celebrate his championship season and finished fifth in the final race. Wyman closed the 14-race season with a commanding 70-point lead in the King Of The Baggers standings, with seven race wins and three additional podium finishes.
“It’s been an incredible year for me and for the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet team,” said Wyman on Sunday. “We did the work during the off season with the goal of bringing the no. 1 back to Milwaukee. It’s all about 2026 now.”
Gillim paced the King Of The Baggers field in Saturday qualifying, seizing the pole position with a lap of 1:22.409 on the 2.250-mile, 12-turn New Jersey Motorsports Park. SDI Indian rider Cameron Petersen qualified 2nd just 0.078 second behind Gillim. This set the stage for the nine-lap main event, with Gillim taking the lead off the start and Petersen never more than 0.30 second back in the opening laps, with RevZilla/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Rocco Landers, Factory Indian rider Troy Herfoss, and Wyman in close pursuit. By the mid-point of the race, Gillim and Petersen had pulled away, opening a 1.867-second lead on Landers. Petersen stayed on Gillim’s rear tire in the closing laps but could never get in position to attempt a pass for the lead. Gillim crossed the finish line 0.229 second clear of Petersen. Landers finished 3rd, followed by Wyman in 4th.
“Cam really made me work for this win,” said Gillim, who has won three of the last five King Of The Baggers races. “The Vance & Hines team has been really working hard. To end the season with the speed we’ve shown the last two weekends has been really good.”
On Sunday Gillim again used a strong start to jump into the lead and by the second lap opened a 1.544-second gap over Wyman, Petersen, and Herfoss. Petersen passed Wyman for 2nd place on Lap 2 and began to reel in Gillim. Petersen passed Gillim for the lead on Lap 6 but could not extend his lead. Gillim passed Petersen in Turn 1 on the final lap, but Petersen regained his lead and did not give Gillim another shot at a pass. Petersen led Gillim across the finish line by 0.208 second. Herfoss finished 3rd, 4.793 seconds behind Petersen, with Wyman 4th and Factory Indian rider Loris Baz 5th.
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider James Rispoli finished in 6th place on Saturday and Sunday and placed 6th in season points, with two 2nd-place finishes. Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team rider Bradley Smith finished in 12th place on Saturday and 8th place on Sunday and placed 9th in season points with three podium results.
Wyman captured the 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers championship with 264 points. Baz was 2nd with 194 points, followed by Herfoss with 183 points, Gillim with 172 points, Factory Indian rider Tyler O’Hara with 128 points, Rispoli with 130 points, Landers with 118 points, Petersen with 117 points, and Smith with 111 points.
