DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(January 4, 2024) –
A1R Racing is
thrilled to announce an
augmented program for the
upcoming Progressive
American Flat Track
season featuring Aidan
RoosEvans aboard Yamaha
YZ450Fs in the Parts
Unlimited AFT Singles presented
by KICKER class.
2024 marks an exciting
opportunity for the team as it
is set to grow significantly
with support from Yamaha. The
squad will carry a full
complement of crew, including
four mechanics and former racer
and professional bodybuilder Joe
RoosEvans on board as coach.
The additional support lays a
strong foundation, which should
allow Aidan to fully capitalize
on his potential and establish
himself a contender at the front
of the highly competitive
category.
A
racer since the age of four,
RoosEvans was a 14-time
motorcycle dirt track amateur
national champion before
shifting his focus to auto
racing, where he was named
Warrior Region ASCR Rookie of
the Year in 2018. Since
returning to two wheels, the
O’Fallon, Illinois, native has
repeatedly proven himself
against the best 450cc riders in
the world, securing 13 top tens
since 2020 while finishing ninth
in the ‘22 championship
standings. RoosEvans enjoyed the
best Main Event result of his
burgeoning Progressive AFT
career a year ago, finishing in
the top five at the Orange
County Half-Mile.
Team Manager Derek Arnett said,
“Our success in the upcoming
season is not only reliant on
skill and talent, but also a
huge effort as a team dedicated
to one goal. We’ve put in a ton
of hard work testing and tuning,
and we are totally confident in
what we’ve accomplished over the
offseason. We’re race ready now
and excited to see the fruits of
our labor.”
RoosEvans said, “I couldn’t be
more excited to start the
season. With backing from Yamaha
and all of our other great
partners, I feel like this can
be my best year yet. Honestly, I
struggled at times getting a
rhythm in recent years, but when
I hopped back on the Yamaha, I
felt right back at home. It was
like a homecoming when we tried
one last fall, and I was
instantly hooked on the idea of
coming back to Yamaha.
Everything fell into place, and
I’m really excited about having
Yamaha be a part of our team in
2024.”
