DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(January 14, 2026) –
Building on a half-decade of
momentum, Progressive
American Flat Track is
proud to announce that its
expansive partnership with
Mission Foods®
will continue for a sixth
consecutive year in 2026.
Mission Foods, the world’s
leading brand for tortillas and
wraps, has been a cornerstone
supporter of Progressive
American Flat Track since the
partnership began in 2021.
Through its steadfast
commitment, Mission Foods has
been instrumental in elevating
the series' national profile and
expanding audience awareness
across the sport.
In addition to its sponsorship
of Progressive American Flat
Track, Mission Foods has
actively supported several
innovative initiatives aimed at
increasing fan engagement. This
commitment to the sport is set
to continue throughout the 2026
season.
Mission Foods returns as the
title sponsor for the premier
Mission AFT SuperTwins
class and as the
Official Tortilla, Chip, and
Salsa of
Progressive American Flat Track.
The renewed partnership also
includes the return of the
Mission #2Fast2Tasty
Challenge and the
season-ending Mission
Foods Awards Party,
while continuing the brand's
high-profile role as the title
sponsor of the Mission
Triple Challenge, which
debuted in 2025
at select events, for the
Mission AFT SuperTwins.
“We are very proud to continue
our partnership with American
Flat Track as the title sponsor
of the SuperTwins class, the
Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge,
and the Mission Triple
Challenge,” said Juan Gonzalez,
Mission Foods Chief Executive
Officer. “These platforms give
Mission a meaningful way to
connect with racing fans and
help create unforgettable
moments on the track.”
The Mission Triple Challenge
format brings an exciting
shakeup to three high-stakes
events throughout the year,
beginning with the season opener
at the Daytona
International Speedway Flat
Track. The Mission
Triple Challenge turns up the
heat with three races of
escalating intensity and
challenge points to determine
each event’s ultimate victor.
The three Mission Triple
Challenge events will be the
Royal Enfield Short
Track at DAYTONA II,
Lima Half-Mile I,
and Springfield
Mile I.
Mission Foods has established
these events as the most
lucrative on the calendar by
offering increased prize money
through an escalating bonus
structure. Winners of the
Mission Triple Challenge will
take home $2,500 for Race 1 and
$5,000 for Race 2, totaling
$7,500 in incentives alone
before heading into the third
and final race of the event. By
the time the final race begins,
the potential for a massive
payday has already reached a
fever pitch, cementing these
events as appointment viewing.
At all other rounds, Mission
Foods will keep the intensity
high with the most exciting four
laps in all of flat track thanks
to the Mission Foods
#2Fast2Tasty Challenge.
Four qualifying Mission
SuperTwins riders will leave it
all out on the track in a
winner-takes-all, no-points,
four-lap shootout, with the
winner taking home $5,000. That
makes the Mission Foods
#2Fast2Tasty Challenge one of
the highest challenge-specific
payouts in all of dirt track
racing.
Mission Foods remains committed
to growing the sport’s audience
through widespread fan
activations and retail
marketing. By featuring branded
athletes on grocery store
displays across the country,
Mission Foods ensures that
Progressive American Flat Track
maintains a high-profile
presence both at the track and
in the national marketplace.
The 2026 Progressive American
Flat Track season will launch
with the Royal Enfield
Short Track at DAYTONA I & II
at Daytona
International Speedway
on Thursday, March 5
and Friday, March 6.
