H-D Announces $500,000 of 2022 Race Contingency
Harley-Davidson is stepping up its support of flat track and road racing competitors for the 2022 season with cash contingency programs totaling more than $500,000 available for qualified racers.
In 2022, the Screamin' Eagle factory racing team will defend its 2021 championship in the MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers Road Racing series with riders Kyle Wyman, the 2021 Mission King of the Baggers champion, and his brother Travis Wyman aboard race-modified Road Glide Specials powered by modified Screamin' Eagle Milwaukee-Eight 131 performance crate engines.
Kyle and Travis Wyman are sons of Kim Wyman, owner of Harv's Harley-Davidson in Macedon, N.Y., and grew up around Harley-Davidson and flat track racing.
The MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series for race-prepared, American V-twin touring motorcycles equipped with a fairing/windscreen and saddlebags expands to seven races in 2022, each held in conjunction with the MotoAmerica Superbike Series.
The series opens with a double header on the high banks of Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, March 10-12. Harley-Davidson will offer a $110,000 cash contingency program for qualified Harley-Davidson racers competing in the Mission King of the Baggers series, with a contingency payout from first to 10th place and a $35,000 championship bonus.
For the 2022 AFT season, Harley says it will be offering contingency opportunities for racers competing in two classes in the 18-event 2022 series - "the most prestigious and competitive form of dirt track motorcycle racing in the world."
Harley has committed $225,500 in contingency funds for qualified riders competing in the premiere Mission SuperTwins class, and $195,500 for qualified riders competing in the AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines class.
Harley contingency will pay first to 10th place in each class as well as a championship bonus - $20,000 for Production Twins and $50,000 for Mission SuperTwins. The season opens with the Volusia Half-Mile double-header, March 10-11, at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.
