In Saturday's race one, Gillim converted his speed into victory, pulling away to win by more than two seconds over Wyman. The win marked Gillim's fourth triumph in five races this sea- son. Wyman secured his fourth podium finish of the year in second, while teammate Bradley Smith (Harley-Davidson x Dyno- jet Factory Racing) completed the podium with his second top three result of the campaign. Gillim carried that momentum into Sunday's race two after setting the race lap record dur- ing race one. Once again, the Indian rider proved untouchable at Road America, securing his second victory of the weekend and completing the double for 153 to 119, with Yaakov in third on 110. King of The Baggers Hayden Gillim (J&P Cycles/ Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian) continued his dominant start to the 2026 Mission King of the Baggers season at Road America, sweeping both races and further strengthening his championship position. The weekend began with Gillim earning pole position, while defending champion Kyle Wyman (Harley-Davidson x Dyno - jet Factory Racing) claimed vic- tory in the two-lap Mission King of the Baggers Challenge and its $5000 winner-take-all prize. Blake Davis (Strack Racing Ya - maha) was also part of the fight, finishing just five-thousandths of a second behind Hayes. "That was the plan today, to get out front and try to put in as many fast laps as I could," Binder said Sunday. "Even though Josh and I were battling so much, the pace was still pretty decent. I got probably about two laps alone and I realized something is up, because he hasn't come by in any straights. Then I looked over at my board and saw about plus five. I was like, 'Okay, I've just got to manage it until the end of the race.' So stoked." With the double victory, Binder leaves Road America with a 34-point lead over Herrin, ROUND 3 / MAY 29-31, 2026 ROAD AMERICA / ELKHART LAKE, WISCONSIN ROAD RACE I MOTOAMERICA AMA/FIM NORTH AMERICAN ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP P112 Darryn Binder (53) is on a roll right now, and his two Supersport wins mean he's 34 points clear at the top of the title chase.
