It was a good day for Harley-Davidson at Daytona International Speedway. The Motor Company took the top three spots in Mission Super Hooligan qualifying and the top four spots in the race on its Pan America ST. In Mission King of The Baggers, Kyle Wyman put his factory Road Glide on pole, won the two-lap, $5,000 Challenge and rode away from the field in Race One. “When we finish the first day of the weekend with a gap like we had yesterday, it’s going to be pretty good for us,” Wyman said.

Bradley Smith on the factory Dynojet Harley-Davidson and Cameron Petersen on an SDI Indian Challenger, two rookies to the Baggers class, wound up on the podium in Race One and were thrilled to be there. Petersen had an injury pre-season that threatened to sideline him for the year, and Smith was just overwhelmed by the dual challenge of trying to learn to race a Bagger, especially after not racing for four years, and then trying to learn Daytona at the same time. “It doesn’t matter how you try to prepare, your eyes are just wide open all the time and you’re asking yourself, oh my God what am I doing?” Smith said.

Tyler Scott said he rode by himself most of the day and had speed in hand going into the Time Attack, where he landed pole for the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750. The team wrapped up Saturday by winning the Pit Stop Challenge and pocketing $7,000 for their 18.92-second service.

TOBC Racing’s Brandon Paasch and PHR Performance riders Peter Hickman and Richard Cooper qualified third, fourth and fifth for the Daytona 200, putting three Triumphs in the top five.

The SC-Project Twins Cup race featured a breakaway pack of four at the front, with three different manufacturers on the podium and separated by 0.174 after nine laps. Matthew Chapin on the RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki GSX-8R finished first, ahead of Alessandro Di Mario on the Robem Engineering Aprilia RS660 and Dominic Doyle on the Giaccmoto Yamaha YZF-R7.
