DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 22, 2024) – Progressive
American Flat Track, sanctioned
by AMA Pro Racing,
is pleased to confirm that Thom
Duma Fine Jewelers (TDFJ) is
back as the series’ Official
Jeweler for an eleventh
consecutive season in 2024.
TDJF’s ties to the sport reach
much farther back than even that
impressive run, with owner Tom
Duma Jr. a long-time veteran of
the paddock. Duma stood as a
Progressive AFT racer from 1976
to 1981, before learning the
family business from his father,
Tom Duma, Sr., and ultimately
taking over TDFJ himself.
Thom Duma Fine Jewelers enjoys a
storied history, tracing its
origins back to the 1800s before
being acquired by the Dumas
almost three-quarters of a
century ago. Since partnering
with Progressive AFT in an
official capacity, Tom Duma,
Jr., has seamlessly connected
his two passions, establishing
the now-cherished tradition of
awarding each season’s champions
with a one-of-a-kind and fully
customized handcrafted ring to
properly commemorate their
incredible achievement.
“Having campaigned full time in
the series back in the 70s & 80s
I know how much effort it takes
to put together a championship
season, and what better way to
commemorate that effort than
with a customized championship
ring,” said Duma. “I’m honored
to be able to work with the
Champions to make a ring worthy
of the title!”
Thom Duma Fine Jewelers’ unique
ties that connect racing and
jewelry are not reserved for
Progressive AFT champions alone.
For fans, TDFJ offers a full
line of top jewelry designers in
fashion and bridal. Diamonds
sourced from around the world
and fine Swiss timepieces. TDFJ
offers the “Racer Series,” a
line of race-inspired jewelry,
including hot shoe pendants in
precious metal, customized
racing number pendants that
match the racers font, and much
more.
The
complete line is available for
purchase online at www.TDFJ.com,
and you can contact Duma
personally via email at contact@tdfj.com.
Reigning champions Jared
Mees and Kody
Kopp will be awarded
their championship rings in a
special ceremony when the 2024
Progressive American Flat Track
season opens with the
Royal Enfield Short Track at
