Contenders Aplenty as Progressive AFT Arrives at Lima Half-Mile

The second half of the 2024 Progressive AFT season kicks off with this weekend's Lima Half-Mile presented by Indian Motorcycle and Drag Specialties. Read More...

“Whoa, We’re Halfway There…”

Eight rounds down, eight to go. And of a very different composition, there’s little guarantee the second half will politely stay on the rails laid down by the half that preceded it. Read More...

Rider of the Half: Brandon Robinson

Recent bias, you say? Perhaps a touch, but Brandon Robinson certainly made his argument. This is not a claim he has been the best rider (more on that in a bit) thus far in ‘24, but he’s been close. And more than anyone else, he’s used the moment to strengthen his position.

Even on level terms, Robinson stands tall; he’s first in wins, second in points, and tied for second in total podiums. Read More...

Most Outstanding Rider of the Half: Dallas Daniels

As good as Robinson has been, it’s Dallas Daniels who has stood on the podium at every round, and it’s Dallas Daniels who now stands atop the points standings.

In fact, his form has been historically great on a couple fronts (as laid out in the ‘By the Numbers’ section below). It’s hard to argue that the Estenson Racing Yamaha star isn’t the best all-around and most consistent rider in the paddock at the moment. Read More...

Wild Card: Briar Bauman

Briar Bauman remains a massive talent and has enjoyed fleeting moments of dominance on the KTM. That said, it’s been a season-and-a-half spent on a development rollercoaster, lacking the sort of obvious and steady progress an outside observer would need to accurately gauge if he’ll be fighting for first or fifth when he lines up for any given Main Event. Read More...

Merits Additional Monitoring: Royal Enfield

Indian, Yamaha, and KTM have all taken wins on the season. Meanwhile, Sammy Halbert (No. 69 Dodge Bros. Racing/Castrol Harley-Davidson XR750), Max Whale (No. 18 Latus Motors Racing/Liqui Moly Harley-Davidson XG750R), Billy Ross (No. 29 Mission Foods/Digitale Kawasaki Ninja 650), and Dan Bromley (No. 62 Memphis Shades/Vinson/Al Lamb’s Dallas Honda Transalp) have made sure Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, and Honda have had their moments in the spotlight as well. Read More...

Rider of the Half & Most Outstanding Rider of the Half: Kody Kopp

What’s left to say that hasn’t been said ten times over? Kody Kopp is already the most decorated rider in Parts Unlimited AFT Singles history and is currently assembling its single greatest season.

The second half figures to ratchet up the difficulty level for Kopp. That’s fine… he’s probably looking forward to a greater challenge right about now as he begins to prepare to step up a weight class. Read More...

Rider to Watch in the Second Half: Tom Drane

The first eight races of his second full Progressive AFT season has seen Tom Drane rack up six podiums, including a pair of wins. It’s difficult to frame that as anything but a smashing success except when viewed through the lens that compares him directly with Kopp – and that’s the lens that’s most handy at the moment. Read More...

Wild Card: Chase Saathoff

Chase Saathoff is a major league talent who has delivered strong results yet with room yet to grow.

Still learning to cope with changing conditions and decreasing grip, Saathoff will be a nightmare for any and all class contenders once he figures out how to be as fast at the end of races as he is at the beginning. Read More...

Merits Additional Monitoring: Evan Renshaw

Heralded rookie Evan Renshaw has enjoyed a solid if unspectacular rookie season. On the one hand, he’s been consistently outperformed by his teammate and training partner, Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R), aboard equal equipment. On the other, he’s already collected 69 points, more in eight races than last year’s Rookie of the Year, Declan Bender, accumulated in 18. Read More...

MIlestones in Play: Mission SuperTwins

Several significant historical milestones are within reach before the 2024 Progressive American Flat Track season concludes. 

Jared Mees is actively hunting for an unprecedented tenth Grand National Championship. That quest could also potentially spur him into a tie for first place in career Short Track victories, second place all-time in both overall Main Event wins and Mile victories, while pushing his career Half-Mile wins record further out of reach.

However, if Brandon Robinson were to win the Lake Ozark Short Track finale, he would climb into a tie with Mees and Jake Johnson for third all-time in the discipline. Read More...

Milestones in Play: Parts Unlimited Singles presented by Kicker

Kody Kopp is in the process of completely rewriting the record books in the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles class. At his current trajectory, he’ll close out the 2024 season with the most titles, Main Event wins, Half-Mile wins, Short Track wins, wins in a single season, and best single-season average finishing position in class history.
