Hayden Gillum

He seems to handle it well.

Well, the last class of this weekend was the Baggers, and Hayden Gillum easily wrapped up the championship without a lot of fanfare.

There was a little bit of drama, but Bradley Smith definitely made that Harley look good as well, winning that second race.

Hayden was clearly...

And I was like, holy shit.

And the rider lineup was amazing because Hayden Gillum, and Rocco Landers were both riding for the Vance and Heinz team on Harley Davidson motorcycles in 2025.

And so obviously Terry brought them over and Indian to switch over and unmount Harley's and Mount Indian motorcycles.

So, um, that was huge.

I wanted to bring that up.

So, um, And it was 100 out there both days.

If you guys didn't know, Hayden Gillum also races Superbike.

He would get off a Superbike.

Like, maybe he wasn't wrong, but then the rain came.

It rained for a lap, and Hayden Gillum, from one lap to the next, was 11 seconds slower than the lap before.

So...

That was the lap that Rispoli high-sided.

is some King of Bagger results from Circuit of the Americas.

So again, with King of Baggers, we know that Hayden Gillum on the J&P cycle, Motul, Vance & Hine, factory end-in, big old conglomerate of sponsors on that factory end-in, has secured the 2026 King of Bagger championship award.

On the end-to-end challenger, and there's still one race left to go.

But he's up by 54 points, and it's insurmountable as long as he takes the green flag.

to

track if somebody wasn't watching him and Hayden Gillum's like, here, dude,

position.

On lap seven, Hayden Gillum crashes hard.

And ended up under the air fence in turn four.

And this caused a red flag, unfortunately.

Sunday, race two, JD leads this time.

With Fong getting a pretty horrible start and ending up back in P7.

Hayden Gillum went off the track.

Not sure what happened there.

So we'll move on to baggers.

Not going to talk about qualifying, other than the fact that Hayden Gillum did a 27.2 on Friday.

And on Saturday, Troy Erfoss did a 27.2 with Kyle Wyman doing a 27.3. And Hayden was only able to do a 27.6 in the final qualifying.

But man, those guys are flying around the track on those big bikes.

So

race one on Saturday was scheduled for nine laps.

wyman got a whole got the whole shot from p3 then he had a huge crash on lap two or three and caused a red flag so they restarted it and kind of a side note it looked like bradley smith crashed on the warm-up lap of the restart something something happened there unfortunate because he it says dns like he didn't even start same as kyle wyman In the end, Hayden Gillum won again with Troy Herfoss right behind him and James Raspoli closing out the podium in P3.

Race two on Sunday, again, nine laps scheduled, this time completed.
