DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 26, 2025) –
Progressive American
Flat Track, sanctioned
by AMA Pro Racing,
is proud to once again name
Yamaha Motor Corp., USA
an OEM Partner of
Progressive AFT for the
2025 season.
Further underlining its
commitment to the series, Yamaha
will also continue its tradition
of serving as the title sponsor
for the Yamaha Senoia
Short Track, which will
take place on Saturday, March
29, at Senoia Raceway
in Senoia, Georgia. This will be
Yamaha’s third consecutive
season holding down that role in
Senoia, as well as the sixth
time the manufacturer has done
so for Progressive AFT rounds
held in the greater Atlanta area
since opening its Marietta,
Georgia, offices in 2018.
Yamaha is coming off a
remarkable Progressive AFT
campaign in 2024 with even
greater ambitions for 2025. Last
season, the superstar
Mission AFT SuperTwins
tag team of Dallas
Daniels and JD
Beach – who filled in
for the injured Daniels at three
rounds – combined to finish on
the podium in all 16 races
aboard the Estenson Racing
Yamaha MT-07.
During that run, the duo racked
up five victories in all with an
average finishing position of
better than second place
(1.875).
The brand was equally well
represented in AFT
Singles presented by KICKER
competition where the ascendant
Tom Drane led
all riders with seven victories
while earning a total of 13
podiums in 16 attempts aboard
the Estenson Racing
Yamaha YZ450F.
Daniels and Drane will be back
on Yamahas in 2025 and are
universally accepted as leading
contenders for their respective
thrones.
Yamaha will celebrate that
success with their employees and
its fans at Senoia, bringing
some 250 employees to the event,
while boasting an impressive
presence in the Fan Zone and a
dedicated branded parking area.
"Yamaha Motor Corporation,
U.S.A. (YMUS) and Yamaha Motor
Manufacturing Company (YMMC) are
thrilled to announce our
sponsorship of this year's
Senoia Short Track, marking our
third consecutive year of
supporting this exciting
family-friendly event,” said
Bob Brown, President of
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing
Corporation of America.
“We are passionate about
providing fun and engaging
activities for our team members,
allowing them to witness Yamaha
products in action and share in
the excitement. We look forward
to continuing our involvement in
the community and showcasing the
innovation and excellence that
Yamaha stands for."
