DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(September 10, 2024) -
Veteran Mission AFT
SuperTwins rider
Sammy Halbert
will race at the highly
anticipated Progressive
American Flat Track
season finale in Eldon,
Missouri, on September
14th, aboard his personal
Harley-Davidson XR750.
This marks a significant moment
in the sport, as it will be the
final time the legendary XR750
competes in Progressive American
Flat Track Grand National
Championship competition.
Halbert is reuniting with his
trusted crew, including
Larry Zumbrun (LZ
Racing), Kings Kustoms,
and his father, Willy
Halbert, turning the
wrenches. After a decade in
hibernation, Halbert's
Harley-Davidson XR750 will roar
back to life, giving fans a rare
opportunity to see this storied
machine in action one last time.
"I've had this XR750 tucked away
for about a decade and bringing
it back for the finale feels
like the perfect way to close
this chapter," said Halbert, who
proudly runs the number 69 in
honor of his late brother
Jethro. "The XR750 has been such
a huge part of my career, and
getting to race it again with my
original crew is something truly
special. We're going to give it
everything we've got."
Supporting this historic effort
is Boswell's
Harley-Davidson, a
long-time partner in the flat
track racing world who is
backing Halbert and his crew as
they prepare for the finale.
Bubba Boswell,
of Boswell's Harley-Davidson,
said, "We are honored to be part
of this moment. The XR750 is one
of the most iconic motorcycles
in the history of flat track
racing, and Sammy is one of the
few riders who can still bring
out its full potential. We're
proud to support him in what
will undoubtedly be a memorable
and emotional race for fans of
the sport."
Halbert's Harley-Davidson XR750,
a machine deeply ingrained in
flat track racing history, will
be meticulously prepared for its
final outing, with Halbert's
veteran team determined to make
its last race count.
Tony Dodge,
team owner of Dodge
Bros. Racing, shared
his excitement. He said, "Sammy
is a great rider, and to see him
back on the XR750 with his
original crew will be a true
spectacle. The bike is ready,
the team is ready, and we're all
hoping for a strong finish to
this amazing chapter."
