Daytona King Of The Baggers Race 1 Results

Wyman cruises to victory, Bradley Smith second on debut, Herfoss crashes challenging for the lead

The 2025 KOTB racing season kicked off with a dominant performance by Kyle Wyman on the #33 Harley-Davidson. The race began with a strong launch from Kyle Wyman, who immediately took the inside line and led the pack into Turn 1. Chaos ensued behind as James Rispoli and Loris Baz tangled and went down, with both riders unable to continue. Troy Herfoss was closing on Wyman, setting the fastest lap of the race, but on lap three he also slid off the track, promoting Bradley Smith into second place and Cameron Petersen into third. Herfoss remounted, but he would lose nearly a minute extricating the big Indian Challenger from the airfence even with the help of marshalls.
