Troy Herfoss took Saturday’s MotoAmerica King of the Baggers opener at New Jersey Motorsports Park. The race report, dated September 26, 2026 and credited to Michael Gougis, listed Herfoss with the J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian team. His teammate Hayden Gillim placed second.
Tyler O’Hara, riding for SDI Racing, completed the podium. Bradley Smith, with Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing, was fourth, and Max Flinders, of M3/Tobacco Road Harley-Davidson, finished fifth. The article appeared under Roadracing World’s racing and results categories.
Herfoss’s win may raise interest in MotoAmerica’s bagger class, potentially benefiting teams, sponsors, and motorcycle aftermarket businesses tied to the series. Fans of Indian and Harley-Davidson could see the result as another chapter in their on-track rivalry. The New Jersey event may also bring modest local attention and spending around the motorsports park. How much broader impact it has may depend on future races, media coverage, and whether casual viewers follow the season beyond this opener.
