DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 15, 2023) –
Progressive American
Flat Track is proud to
confirm that Arai
Helmet, Inc. will
continue in its role as the
series’ Official Helmet for
a sixth straight season in 2023.
Producing motorcycle helmets for
more than 70 years, Arai is
globally recognized as the
world’s premier helmet
manufacturer. And despite its
remarkable motorsports successes
over the decades – including
numerous titles across
Progressive AFT, Formula 1, and
MotoGP among countless other
series – it remains a small,
family-owned company.
“Arai’s roots in American racing
actually began in flat track,
with our very first U.S.
sponsored racer in the late
‘70s,” said Brian Weston,
Managing Director of Arai
Helmet, Inc. “Arai first began
racing support to learn and
improve, and even after more
than 40 years we continue to
apply lessons learned on the
racetrack to the helmets we make
for our customers. We make only
one level of helmet for all of
our customers – racers and
street riders alike – the very
best helmet we can make for
rider protection. Arai proudly
puts their family name on every
helmet we make.”
For generations, Arai has
provided two- and four-wheeled
competitors and enthusiasts
unparalleled comfort,
technology, and style and
continually seeks ways to
improve rider protection. Over
that time, its mission has
remained unchanged: protection
without compromise. Each helmet
Arai produces is meticulously
handmade, providing unmatched
quality and craftsmanship while
featuring exclusive materials
and technology. And to ensure
the helmets live up to their
name, each one is rigorously
double inspected before being
shipped.
“Helmet safety is the first
order of business in motorcycle
racing and no manufacturer can
meet the demands of our sport
and the desires of our riders
better than Arai,” said Gene
Crouch, COO of AMA Pro Racing.
“Arai has set the standard for
decades and is fully deserving
of its many accolades. Its
unwavering commitment to safety,
craftsmanship, and quality is
remarkable.”
The 2023 Progressive American
Flat Track season will launch
with the hugely anticipated
return of the DAYTONA
Short Track I & II at
Daytona International
Speedway on
Thursday, March
9 and Friday,
March 10.
