Kyle Wyman, riding for Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing, posted the quickest lap in a rain-affected Mission King of the Baggers session at New Jersey Motorsports Park. His teammate Bradley Smith placed second, giving the factory Harley squad two of the top spots.
Hayden Gillim, competing for J&P Cycles/Motul/Vance & Hines Factory Indian, ended third. James Rispoli of Big Diehl x Harley-Davidson Factory Racing and SDI Racing’s Tyler O’Hara completed the top five. The practice was part of MotoAmerica’s season-finale weekend at the New Jersey circuit.
Wet-weather practice results may shape fan interest and rider confidence heading into the weekend, especially for teams preparing for variable conditions. Because the session order can influence garage decisions and media attention, sponsors and spectators could see added visibility for Wyman, Smith, Gillim, Rispoli, and O’Hara. The outcome may also affect how teams approach setup and risk management, though practice times alone do not determine race results.
