DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May
08, 2025) –
Progressive AFT is
thrilled to announce that
Caterpillar
through The Cat® Rental
Store brand will
continue to serve as the
Official Heavy Equipment
Provider of Progressive AFT
for the 2025
season.
Since 2019, The Cat Rental
Store, with each location owned
and operated by an independent
Cat® dealer, has consistently
delivered best-in-class
earth-moving equipment, scissor
lifts, water trucks, light
towers, and generators, helping
to ensure that America’s
Original Extreme Sport benefits
from flawlessly prepared
racetracks every weekend.
Through its extensive dealer
network, The Cat Rental Store
has proven time and again that
it can meet the tough demands of
building and maintaining surface
conditions for world-class
racing.
The machines and equipment
needed for each track can
differ, but The Cat Rental Store
delivers it all. You may see
machines like motor graders
leveling the dirt between each
round to ensure that track
conditions are just right for
the racers. Water trucks will be
circling the track to add
moisture to the soil so it can
be compacted and smoothed out.
Light towers and generators may
be set up around the grounds to
help racing teams safely perform
maintenance and repairs for
their bikes.
“We’re proud to continue our
relationship with Progressive
AFT,” said Jeff White,
Vice President – Rental at
Caterpillar and Representative
for The Cat Rental Store brand.
“From sculpting premier racing
surfaces to lighting the track,
our equipment has become a
critical piece of the puzzle. We
can’t wait to see more thrilling
action in 2025.”
In addition to providing
critical track-prep equipment,
The Cat Rental Store will keep a
strong presence throughout the
season, giving fans an exciting,
hands-on look at the impressive
capabilities of Cat® machines
and equipment. At many rounds,
local Cat dealers will bring
customers right into the action
with VIP hospitality and
trackside experiences that
highlight the power and
versatility of Cat products in a
high-octane setting.
“We’re excited to have The Cat
Rental Store’s continued
support,” said Cameron
Gray, Director of Sales and
Partnerships. “Their
equipment is second to none, and
their expertise is vital to
shaping a track capable of
producing the action that fans
love. Together, we’re making
sure every Progressive AFT round
is second to none.”
