DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 2, 2023) – Progressive
American Flat Track
revives Daytona Bike
Week tradition with the
2023 season opener returning to
the Flat Track at
Daytona International Speedway
on Thursday, March 9 and
Friday, March 10, 2023.
The DAYTONA Short Track
will feature two back-to-back
nights of bar-banging racing
under the lights at one of the
most iconic racing arenas in the
history of the sport.
Coming off the heels of last
season’s spectacular five-way
title fight, the 2023
Progressive American Flat Track
season ranks among the most
highly anticipated in recent
memory. Reigning Mission
SuperTwins presented by S&S
Cycle champion
Jared Mees will look to
continue his historic run. But
to do so, he’ll once again have
to go through the most talented
collection of motorcycle dirt
track racers in the world –
including the likes of
Briar Bauman,
Dallas Daniels,
JD Beach, and
Brandon Robinson.
This season’s DAYTONA Short
Track I & II resumes a hallowed
tradition that saw the
high-profile event serve as the
opening round of the
Championship from 1989 through
2016, with doubleheaders
becoming the norm in 2006.
Over the decades, the DAYTONA
opener frequently saw the
sport’s leading stars shine the
brightest, with Hall of Famers
Scott Parker,
Chris Carr,
Will Davis, and
Kenny Coolbeth
all earning wins in Daytona.
However, the event is just as
renowned for the unpredictable
racing it has regularly
produced. Several riders have
scored upsets to secure their
first-career premier-class
victories there, including the
aforementioned Bauman and
Robinson. One rider yet to
triumph at the venue, however,
is Mees, who hopes to scratch
off one of the few remaining
unfilled achievements still left
on his scorecard.
The atmosphere is guaranteed to
be electric. A half-million
motorcyclists are once again
expected to descend on Daytona
Beach for this year’s
82nd annual Daytona Bike Week,
and the DAYTONA Short Track I &
II is primed to be one of the
world’s largest motorcycle
event’s premier attractions.
A range of ticket options are
available now, now starting at
$25 each night, including
Upper Rim Road -
Standing Room Only,
Reserved Grandstand,
and Accessible Seating.
And for an additional $40 ($20
for kids under 12) per night,
Paddock Access Upgrades
provide all-day access to the
pits where fans can scope out
the world’s fastest dirt track
motorcycles and get up close and
personal with the stars of the
sport.
