Rocco Landers was fastest in MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Qualifying One (Q1) Friday at New Jersey Motorsports Park, in Millville, New Jersey. Riding his Dunlop-shod RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Road Glide, Landers turned a 1:24.829 to take provisional pole position, and then minutes later he highsided coming out of the final corner and tumbled halfway down the front straightaway. Landers was able to walk away from the crash, but he looked to be in some pain.

Hayden Gillim, Landers’ teammate and the defending Champion, was second-best with a 1:25.252.

Harley-Davidson Factory Racing’s James Rispoli was third thanks to his 1:25.324.

Championship contender Troy Herfoss was fourth-fastest with a 1:25.445 on his S&S Indian Challenger.

Herfoss’ teammate Tyler O’Hara rounded out the top five with a 1:25.667.

Kyle Wyman, Rispoli’s teammate and the current Championship point leader, was sixth at 1:26.537.
