DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(January 28, 2025) –
A1R Racing is
excited to announce an expanded,
two-rider squad for the 2025
Progressive American
Flat Track season,
featuring veteran Aidan
RoosEvans and the
talented Bronson Pearce.
Last season, the team
significantly increased its
effort while making the switch
to Yamaha equipment. Those moves
paid off, most notably via a
career-best AFT Singles
presented by KICKER
Main Event finish of fourth for
RoosEvans at the Senoia Short
Track.
A 14-time motorcycle dirt track
amateur national champion,
RoosEvans has made his presence
felt near the front of the pack
on multiple occasions since
returning his focus to
two-wheeled racing following a
decorated auto racing career,
which included taking Warrior
Region ASCR Rookie of the Year
honors in 2018. The versatile
O’Fallon, Illinois, native will
pull double duty in 2025, adding
a limited four-wheeled schedule
alongside his preexisting
motorcycle racing slate.
Meanwhile, Pearce joins the
Progressive AFT tour full time
after previously establishing
himself as one of the nation’s
elite Supermoto pilots, racking
up numerous victories and
accolades in national and
international competition. The
Bakersfield, California, native
has already proven those skills
translate neatly to dirt track
racing, a fact that was made
most evident with his
fifth-place finish at last
year’s Sturgis TT.
Backed by Yamaha again in 2025,
A1R will support RoosEvans and
Pearce with a full complement of
crew and employees, including
multiple mechanics, coaches, and
more.
A1R Team Manager Derek Arnett
said, “We come into the 2025
season hungry, armed with a ton
of talent and motivation and
eager to reach new heights.
Aiden and Bronson have both
proven they can race inside the
top five. Now it’s our aim to do
that with regularity. We’re
putting in a huge effort this
offseason to make that goal a
reality.”
RoosEvans said, “When I hopped
back on a Yamaha last year, I
felt right back at home. With
their backing and that of our
other great partners, I feel
like we have what it takes to
battle for podiums. I’m also
excited to step back into the
car racing world a little bit.
Progressive AFT will remain our
priority, but we’ll also work in
some four-wheeled action. Stay
tuned for more announcements on
that front.”
