H-D Screamin' Eagle Wins the 2021 King Of The Baggers Championship
Despite breaking his elbow a month ago in the Superbike race at Road America in Wisconsin, Kyle Wyman did what was necessary to back up that weekend's Mission King Of The Baggers win to secure the title on his factory Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Road Glide on the iconic 2.238 mile Laguna Seca circuit, California, on Sunday July 11.

| Kyle Wyman (33), riding his factory Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Road Glide, jumped out front at the start of the Mission King Of The Baggers finale and was never headed - going on to win the race by nearly 4.5 seconds from S&S Cycle Indian rider Tyler O'Hara, with the DTF Performance/Hoban Brothers Performance Racing Harley-Davidson of Michael Barnes third. |
The three-round Championship wrapped up with Wyman starting from the pole and never headed in the eight-lap race. He gained more than a full second on second-place finisher and Mission Foods S&S Cycle Indian rider Tyler O'Hara on almost every lap of the race until he decided to slow his pace a little towards the end. At the checkered flag he took the win by just under four-and-a-half seconds over O'Hara, with an average speed of 86.100 mph, a total time of 12:28.596 minutes and a best lap time of 1:31.983 minutes.
Third place went to DTF Performance/Hoban Brothers Performance Racing Harley-Davidson rider Michael Barnes, just 4.913 seconds behind O'Hara with a 1:33.249 fastest lap - this followed up on their win in the premier Bagger GP Class two weeks earlier at the inaugural Bagger Racing League event at Salt Lake City.
