For
the Love of the Sport
Dallas-Fort Worth’s position as
a fixture on, and highlight of,
the Progressive American Flat
Track schedule is a relatively
recent development.
Texas has certainly produced its
fair share of dirt tracking
icons, among them Hall of Famers
Mike Kidd,
Terry Poovey,
and Everett Brashear.
But it doesn’t immediately
spring to mind as a talent
pipeline in the way that, say,
Pennsylvania, California, or
Washington do, or even certain
parts of the Midwest,
particularly where the Fast Boys
from Illinois and Michigan Mafia
reside.

Mister
Mischler: Take These Broken
Wings and Learn to Fly Again
Naturally, Stinchfield and Lamb
will be looking to impress at
their home round. The Mission
Roof Systems squad is well
poised for success, fielding
Brandon Robinson
(No. 44 Mission Roof Systems
Indian FTR750), who comes into
the weekend ranked second in the
Mission SuperTwins points and
with a podium finish at the
venue to his name.
It’s still early days for the
Big Red Super Twins outfit.
While the aim now is simply to
get the project up to speed,
they’ve already reeled in some
promising results courtesy of
Dan Bromley
(No. 62 Memphis Shades/Vinson
Construction/Al Lamb’s Dallas
Honda Transalp), who put the
bike in the top ten in his first
attempt and came awfully close
to repeating the feat in both
subsequent tries.

to History, Part I
As the career leader in
Half-Mile wins, each subsequent
victory Jared Mees
(No. 1 Rogers Racing/SDI
Racing/Indian Motorcycle FTR750)
logs is by definition a
historic event, pushing that
mark further and further out of
reach.
And as such, Mees has made his
fair share of history at Texas
Motor Speedway, winning in each
of the series three previous
stops at the track (2018, 2019,
and 2022).
As it happens, it’s also a
historic event even when he
doesn’t win here. The factory
Indian ace has only ever come up
short once at TMS, and that took
place during the track’s
inaugural Progressive AFT event
back in 2017.

Joining Mees and Mischler as the
maestros of TMS is the
aforementioned Shayna
Texter-Bauman. In fact,
that fractional loss to Mischler
is Texter-Bauman’s sole defeat
in Parts Unlimited AFT
Singles competition at
the track (she was participating
in Mission SuperTwins when the
series last visited in 2022).
And like Carver’s win in ‘17,
Texter-Bauman’s ‘19 victory
stands out as especially
memorable, at least when
considered in conjunction with
brother Cory Texter’s
Mission Production Twins
triumph that preceded hers by a
matter of minutes. Their
combined achievement marked the
first time in the long history
in which siblings earned Main
Event victories on the same day.
