This past weekend the Bagger Racing League (BRL) closed out its thrilling 6th season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and the desert heat couldn’t keep fans—or the riders—from turning up the intensity. With 90+ degree weather creating sticky track conditions, the 2.39-mile course with 14 technical turns became the perfect proving ground for riders and their machines.
Vincent Wilson Dominates with Burns Stainless Power
On his Barnett Clutches/Alloy Art Harley-Davidson Pan America road racer, equipped with a Burns Stainless performance exhaust system, Vincent Wilson lit up the back straight with a blistering 152 mph run. Both afternoon races saw Wilson launch into the lead before even hitting Turn One, pulling so far ahead the crowd joked about grabbing a cold beer before the next rider came into view. His 7-lap dominance was undeniable. We sat down with Vincent for a pre-race interview—watch for it soon on the Burns Stainless YouTube channel.
From Chuckwalla to Vegas: A Season of Growth
Compared to the season opener at Chuckwalla Raceway in the remote California desert, Vegas was a different beast. The BRL finale packed in nearly 1,000 spectators, dozens of vendors, and an electric vibe. Lifestyle Cycles of Anaheim sponsored the “Sin City Bagger Showdown”, bringing a massive vendor tent and bike show hosted by the Shifter Crew, giving fans plenty to see between races.
The Barnett/Alloy Art Team Battles Through
Burns Stainless also backed another Barnett/Alloy Art rider who fought mechanical gremlins. By Lap Four, his Harley Pan America slipped into limp mode, sparking jokes that the Burns exhaust may have delivered more power than the bike could handle. That’s racing.
New Blood: Speedfarm and Chase French
Another highlight came from Speedfarm Racing, where newcomer Chase French made his BRL debut aboard a Harley Softail fitted with a Burns Stainless NhB Performance Exhaust. Despite it being his first outing, French held strong, finishing second in both races of the day. His consistency and adaptation showcased exactly why riders turn to Burns performance exhausts—to find their edge on the track. (Interview with Chase coming soon!)
Racing, Rock, and Vegas Nights
By 4:30 p.m. the checkered flags waved, champagne sprayed, and riders swapped helmets for party gear. The scene shifted to Sam’s Town Hotel & Casino for the awards ceremony and a poolside celebration hosted by Lifestyle Cycles. The night ramped up with a high-energy concert by the Femmes of Rock—two shredding electric violins, an electric cello, and a pounding drummer ripping through medleys of classic rock, kicking things off with a fist-pumping AC/DC set.
And because it’s Vegas? Let’s just say some of the night’s antics stayed right where they belong—in Sin City.
Looking Ahead
The BRL’s 6th season ended on a high note, proving once again that the combination of Harley-Davidson innovation and Burns Stainless performance exhaust systems is a force to be reckoned with. With more riders experimenting and adapting our products to their unique race styles, 2026 promises even more speed, sound, and excitement.
