Mission Roof Systems Team
Daytona Beach, Fla.
(February 24, 2025) –
Progressive American
Flat Track is thrilled
to announce that Tarren
Santero will be
returning to the grid in 2025
riding for the Mission
Roof Systems Team. The
first-generation racer from
Petaluma, California, has wasted
little time in making a name for
himself, tallying an impressive
13 top-10 finishes in
2024 and scoring his
first career professional podium
at the Sturgis TT. Santero
further cemented his status as a
rising star by concluding the
2024 campaign as the only
privateer among the top five in
the championship standings.
“I’m excited to see what next
year holds for me and the team,”
said Santero.
“Coming off the momentum I found
late last year, we have a solid
base heading into the season.
Typically, it’s just me and my
pops throwing educated guesses
at the bike, but having
Kayl Kolkman to bounce
ideas off of will fill in that
missing piece. I’ve already been
doing some testing on next
year’s bike and with the support
from my team and my sponsors I
think we have what it takes to
start chasing after wins.”
Santero’s backstory reads like
an American Flat Track dream.
After starting his racing career
at the age of 13, he’s built
every race bike and motor he’s
ever campaigned. His family had
no racing heritage before him,
making his rapid ascent a
testament to grit,
determination, and mechanical
savvy. From small short tracks
to the biggest miles in the
country, Santero has proven he
has the talent to run up front.
Santero’s 2024 season was
defined by electrifying on-track
showings and a relentless work
ethic in the pits. His
Sturgis TT podium finish
was an especially proud moment
for this humble-but-hungry
racer, who juggles the
responsibilities of privateer
life both at home and at the
track. With a renewed focus and
additional insight from new
collaborator Kayl Kolkman, all
signs point to Santero’s 2025
campaign being one to watch.
Progressive American Flat Track
fans can expect to see Santero
bring his customary drive and
thrill-a-minute style to the
2025 season, which promises even
bigger battles and more
adrenaline-pumping action across
the country.
