AMA HARLEY-DAVIDSON FINAL ROUND/SEPTEMBER 14, 2014 NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK/MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY P76 AMA VANCE & HINES HARLEY-DAVIDSON SERIES works for you and sometimes it works against you," Wyman said. "This time it worked in my favor. I'm so happy to end the season with a win. It was a long, tough season and it was tough not be- ing in the points." Rapp took second, followed by O'Hara, Narbonne, Carlson and Eslick. "I tried to put my head down from the beginning," Wyman said. "I got the holeshot from the second row and did my best to push as hard as I could for a whole lap. But Steve [Rapp] came flying by on the front straightaway, and from that point I knew the race was going to be a little different than I wanted it to be. It turned into a pack and I sat there through the middle part of the race. It was getting crazy up front and I just wanted to make sure I didn't get caught up in any of that. "I basically put myself in the right place at the right time at the end. I made a push to the front and I got the lead just as we hit the lappers. The lappers are go- ing to be either way - they're go- ing to hold you up or give you a big gap. They gave me a gap and I put my head down the last two laps and it worked out great. I'm so happy to get another win this year." Eslick rode a brave race to sixth place, beating Carlson by 15 points for the title. It marked his second championship in the series, having previously won the 2010 title. CN FINAL 1. Kyle Wyman 2. Steve Rapp 3. Tyler O'Hara 4. Shane Narbonne 5. Benny Carlson 6. Danny Eslick 7. David Estok 8. Darren James 9. Josh Chisum 10. Nick Hansen Benny Carlson (45) was in the hunt with the lead pack - Rapp (1), Shane Narbonne (64) and Wyman (33) - but a 10-second penalty for a jumped start dashed his podium and title hopes.
