DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 20, 2024)
- Veteran Mission
SuperTwins ace Sammy
Halbert will contest
the season-opening Daytona
Short Track I & II ,
along with other select rounds
of the 2024 Progressive
American Flat Track championship,
aboard a Dodge Bros.
Racing/Castrol Harley-Davidson
XR750.
The
union pairs championship-winning
team owners Tony and Andy Dodge
with the highly decorated
Halbert, who boasts an overall
AMA Pro Flat Track Championship,
a Grand National Singles
Championship, and an X Games
gold medal, among his many
racing accomplishments.
Dodge Bros. Racing is well known
for its immaculately prepared
and beautiful Harley XR750s.
Teaming with Halbert provides a
unique opportunity to see one of
the sport's top riders compete
aboard history’s most iconic
flat track bike in what could
potentially prove to be its
last, best chance to battle up
front in Grand National
Championship competition.
Halbert who runs the number 69
in honor of his late brother
Jethro, is the winningest rider
of the Daytona Short Track with
four wins to his credit. Along
with the double Daytona opener,
Halbert is already committed to
racing at the Silver Dollar
Short Track in Chico,
California, and the Ventura
Short Track, in Ventura,
California.
"At
this point in my career, I'm
racing very select events and
having fun with it," said
Halbert. "The opportunity to
race the Dodge Bros. XRs makes
perfect sense for me. It's the
bike that I had the most success
on in my career, and I'm excited
to give the old girl another
ride at the big dance."
Tony Dodge said, "We're really
looking forward to going racing
with Sammy on the XR750. It’s
always a great time working with
him. We've got the bikes looking
brand new and we're ready to
represent for all the Harley
XR750 fans out there."
