DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(January 18, 2024) –
Tickets are now on sale for the
inaugural Silver Dollar
Short Track, Round 5 of
the 2024 Progressive
American Flat Track
season, sanctioned by
AMA Pro Racing.
The world’s elite dirt track
motorcycle racers will make
their first-ever appearance at
the historic Silver Dollar
Speedway in Chico, California,
on Saturday, May 4. The
high-banked, 1/4-mile clay oval
is no stranger to big names and
big-time events, however. In
fact, the six-decade old venue
made such an impression on auto
racing superstars Kyle
Larson and Brad
Sweet in their
formative years, that the
Northern California natives
joined forces to become the
track’s co-promoters in 2021.
The duo, along with business
partner Colby Copeland (together
SLC Promotions), will also serve
as co-promoters of the series’
maiden race alongside
Progressive American Flat Track.
The Progressive AFT
round is destined to stand tall
alongside the track’s history
with the Grand National
Championship arriving
in full swing. The stop at
Silver Dollar Speedway will mark
the fourth close-quarters Short
Track showdown in the season’s
opening five races, virtually
guaranteeing an intense night of
racing as Mission
SuperTwins aces
Jared Mees,
Dallas Daniels,
Briar Bauman,
Davis Fisher,
Brandon Robinson, and
the remainder of the stacked
premier-class field due battle
in tight confines.
It’ll be a similar story –
albeit with arguably even more
potential winners – in the
Parts Unlimited AFT
Singles presented by KICKER
class. Reigning champion
Kody Kopp will look to
repeat his early-season ST
heroics of a year ago, but the
likes of Tom Drane,
Chase Saathoff,
and Trent Lowe
will do everything in their
power to prevent three-peat on
Kopp’s part.
There will be plenty to keep
fans entertained off the track
as well, including numerous
vendors, a wide selection of
food & beverage options, music
via DJ, and designated
motorcycle parking.
“SLC promotions is extremely
excited to add AFT Motorcycles
to our schedule,” said Brad
Sweet, Partner at SLC
Promotions. “It will be great to
experience a completely new fan
base and showcase Silver Dollar
Speedway on such a huge stage.”
