Vance & Hines Motorsports is excited to announce that former MotoAmerica King of the Baggers Champion Hayden Gillim and teammate Rocco Landers will return to lead the RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson team for the 2025 season.
Gillim, who clinched the 2023 championship with a dominant performance, will once again pilot the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Road Glide in his pursuit of a second King of the Baggers title. His consistency and determination saw him finish the 2024 season with three victories and 10 podiums, and he remains a cornerstone of the team’s success.
“Racing with the Vance & Hines Motorsports team is like being with family,” Gillim said. “The hard work everyone puts in shows in our results. The competition in the King of the Baggers class is getting stronger every year, but I know we have what it takes to stay on top. Daytona can’t come soon enough!”
Rocco Landers, who impressed in his 2024 debut season in the King of the Baggers series with two wins and seven podiums, will return to the team alongside Gillim. Landers brings youth and energy to the grid and is looking to build on his success from last year. Riding the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Road Glide, he aims to solidify himself as one of the top riders in the class while balancing his transition to the MotoAmerica Stock1000 class.
“Getting back on the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson for another year is a dream come true,” Landers said. “I learned so much in my first season, and with Hayden as a teammate and mentor, I’ve been able to develop my skills on the Bagger. I can’t wait to push even harder this season and aim for more wins. Let’s get to work!”
Terry Vance, owner of Vance & Hines Motorsports, expressed excitement for the 2025 season: “Having both Hayden and Rocco back on the team is a huge win for us. Hayden is a proven champion and the anchor of our King of the Baggers program, while Rocco brings incredible talent and a fresh perspective. With RevZilla, Motul, and Harley-Davidson behind us, we’re looking forward to another fantastic year.”
The 2025 MotoAmerica King of the Baggers season kicks off at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, March 6-8.
