BRL 'Fall Brawl' - Daytona, October 2023
Bagger Racing League's 'Fall Brawl' in Daytona "was an absolute barn burner!" The thrilling race saw Arnie Wells of Team SLYFOX Performance and Suburban Harley-Davidson take the #1 plate, with Bryan Shields and Craig Braymiller rounding out the podium.
The American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA) hosted the special AMA Championship class at the iconic Daytona International Speedway on October 20th and 21st.
"The Harley-Davidson dominated class fielded 11 racers who were ready to bring an intense bagger brawl to the historic high banks of Daytona, and it didn't disappoint. Wells started out fast and secured the lead on Bryan Shields out of the gate. Yet Bryan put on a show and battled back to make a pass going into turn one on the final lap. Arnie, knowing it was now or never, put his head down and battled back to make the pass by Bryan on the last lap, the last bank to take the win."
Joe Houpt, team owner of Suburban Harley-Davidson said: "I'm so proud of Arnie and our entire team. We are grateful to both the AMA and Bagger Racing League for offering an opportunity to race for a historic #1 plate at the iconic Daytona International Speedway."
Special thanks to Alex at SLYFOX Performance, as well as the rest of the sponsors, including NAMZ Custom Cycle, Alloy Art, Hayes, Performance Machine, Regina Chain, G2 and BST.
At the time of writing, the next stop for the BRL is the championship race at Willow Springs International Raceway, on Nov 18th and 19th, 2023.
