ROUND 1/MARCH 14, 2014
DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY/DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA
P84
Good to go was an understate-
ment. After qualifying third on
Friday morning, Wyman said that
practice and qualifying at Dayto-
na for the Harley class was pretty
much a waste. He knew there
would be up to 12 guys racing for
victory in a race that would come
down to the draft on the final run
from the chicane to the tri-oval.
Turns out he was right.
Five different riders led across
the finish line in the seven-lap
race. Wyman was one of them.
He led two laps: The fifth one and
the only one that mattered. The
seventh. As it always does, the
battle came down to the chicane
and the run around the banking
to the tri-oval finish line. Wyman
had no idea where he was when
he exited the chicane, but he did
everything perfectly from there
and at the finish line he was
.068 of a second ahead of the
man who beat him last year – Ty-
ler O'Hara on the Josh Chisum
Racing XR. Third place went to
Gage McAllister and the Folsom
Harley-Davidson rider was just as
close - .108 of a second behind.
In fact the first 11 riders crossed
the stripe in .647 of a second.
Yes, just a tick over half a second
between first and 11

third time, was Wyman.
"It was just like last year,"
Wyman said. "A few less of us. I
think some of us sort of stretched
it out in the infield this year. It
made it a little… well, I wouldn't
