Speed Farm Racing claims its third consecutive BRL American Twins Unlimited championship as Belgium's Levi Badie goes undefeated aboard the #8 Harley-Davidson Road Glide.
Levi Badie completes an undefeated 2026 season aboard the Wurz Financial Services Speed Farm #8 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, continuing the championship legacy established by Carl Schlacht.
LAS VEGAS, NV | October 17, 2026 — Three years. Three championships. One motorcycle.
Speed Farm Racing has officially secured its third consecutive American Twins Unlimited championship in the Drag Specialties Bagger Racing League Battle of the Baggers, presented by Memphis Shades, extending an incredible championship streak spanning 2024, 2025, and 2026.
At the center of all three championships is the Wurz Financial Services Speed Farm #8 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, a motorcycle that has become synonymous with winning in American Twins Unlimited competition.
From Racer to Team Owner: A Championship Legacy
Speed Farm owner and founder Carl Schlacht established the team's winning tradition by capturing back-to-back American Twins Unlimited championships in 2024 and 2025 aboard the #8 machine.
Following an injury that forced Schlacht into retirement from professional bagger racing ahead of the 2026 season, Speed Farm entered a new chapter. Rather than stepping away from championship contention, the team placed Belgium's Levi Badie aboard the #8 Road Glide with one objective: defend the title.
Badie delivered.
Levi Badie Completes an Undefeated 2026 Championship Season
In his first season carrying the championship legacy of Speed Farm's #8 motorcycle, Badie went undefeated in American Twins Unlimited competition throughout the 2026 season, securing the team's third consecutive class championship.
The Belgian racer quickly established himself as a formidable competitor in American bagger racing, combining consistency, speed, and determination to continue the team's winning streak.
For Speed Farm, the achievement represents far more than another championship trophy. It demonstrates the strength of the team's racing program, technical development, and the people responsible for keeping the #8 Harley-Davidson at the front of the field.
Built to Win: The Wurz Financial Services Speed Farm #8
Behind every championship is a tremendous amount of work, both at the racetrack and behind the scenes.
The Wurz Financial Services Speed Farm #8 Harley-Davidson Road Glide has undergone continuous development throughout three championship seasons, supported by an extensive network of technical partners, sponsors, mechanics, and industry professionals.
From engine development and suspension to braking systems, tires, and chassis performance, Speed Farm's commitment to building competitive race motorcycles has remained unchanged.
The result is three consecutive American Twins Unlimited titles, achieved with two different riders aboard the same #8 racing program.
Carl Schlacht Reflects on Three Consecutive Championships
"Three years in a row. That's something we're incredibly proud of. I was fortunate enough to win the first two championships myself, and after my retirement, watching Levi step onto the #8 and go undefeated this season has been just as rewarding.
"This isn't just about one rider or one motorcycle. It's about the entire Speed Farm program, our partners, our friends, our families, and everyone who has put in the work to make this possible.
"We've built something special here, and we're nowhere near finished. For 2027, everyone can expect a whole new look, but the same attitude: win."
— Carl Schlacht, Owner and Team Principal, Speed Farm Racing
Looking Ahead to 2027
With three consecutive American Twins Unlimited championships secured, Speed Farm is already preparing for its next chapter.
The team will enter the 2027 racing season with a renewed appearance, continued technical development, and an expanded commitment to competing at the highest levels of American bagger racing.
As the Bagger Racing League prepares for its next era alongside the American Superbike Racing Association (ASRA), Speed Farm intends to remain a leading contender.
The team's appearance may change, but its competitive philosophy will not.
Three years. Three championships. Back to back to back.
2024 | 2025 | 2026
SPEED FARM RACING. SAME ATTITUDE. WIN.
