DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(March 17, 2026) –
American Flat Track,
sanctioned by AMA Pro
Racing, unveiled a new
Perpetual Trophy honoring
the AMA Grand National
Championship during the
opening rounds of the 2026
Progressive American Flat
Track season at Daytona
International Speedway,
celebrating the champions
who have defined the sport
since the championship’s
inception in 1954.
Crafted by Official Trophy
Provider Jostens, the
Perpetual Trophy features
the engraved names of every
Grand National Champion in
the history of the sport.
Beginning with the inaugural
champion in 1954, the trophy
stands as a lasting tribute
to the riders who have
shaped the legacy of
American Flat Track while
connecting past champions
with the current generation
competing for the sport’s
most prestigious title. The
trophy’s distinctive design
pays homage to one of flat
track racing’s most iconic
symbols, the steel shoe.
Worn by riders as they slide
through corners at speed,
the steel shoe represents
the unique skill, bravery
and style that define flat
track competition. The
design reflects that
tradition while creating a
centerpiece that will
continue to grow as future
champions are added to the
trophy.
The Perpetual Trophy joins
the lineup of awards
produced by Jostens as part
of its partnership as the
Official Trophy Provider of
Progressive American Flat
Track.
The 2026 Progressive
American Flat Track season
opened with the Royal
Enfield Short Track at
DAYTONA I & II, launching
the new championship
campaign during Daytona Bike
Week.
Next up, the series heads to
Georgia for the Yamaha
Atlanta Short Track at
Senoia Raceway on March 21.
