DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(October 21, 2022) – AMA Pro
Racing announced today
an 18-round provisional schedule
for the 2023 Progressive
American Flat Track
season boasting venues historic
and new and featuring an
impressive balance in terms of
its blend of disciplines,
geography and pacing.
“We’ve consolidated the 2023
Progressive AFT schedule into
motorcycle riding season and
worked hard to bring events back
to major metropolitan markets
and motorcycle rallies,” said
Gene Crouch, Chief Operating
Officer of AMA Pro Racing. “The
venues and dates on the 2023
schedule have been carefully
selected to minimize the
potential for weather and
deliver great racing for fans
from coast-to-coast.”
Immediately noticeable is a more
compact time frame over which
the title fights will be waged,
fitting all 18 rounds in between
the return to Daytona
International Speedway for a
doubleheader during
Daytona Bike Week in
early March and an epic
Labor Day Weekend
doubleheader season finale at
the series’ crown jewel, the
Springfield Mile, in early
September. The overall result is
a significantly more consistent
slate and superior momentum,
with no more than three weeks
between any two rounds, a gap
which occurs just twice all
season long.
Featuring five Miles, five
Half-Miles, four Short Tracks,
three TTs, (and one event still
to be announced), the ‘23
schedule is also intriguing in
the cadence of events. The
ordering of track types presents
increased opportunity for
dynamic championship battles,
encouraging win streaks and
comebacks alike. All four STs
take place in the opening six
races, while the three TTs will
take place in a span of 13 days
near the conclusion of the
season, with the Half-Miles and
Miles nicely divided up
throughout the campaign.
That balance extends to its
geographic reach. Hitting
locations on both coasts and
numerous points in between, the
diversity of locales supports
both the sport’s growth and
continued strength all across
the nation. So too does its mix
of historic races, long-time
mainstays, returning favorites,
and a healthy dose of all-new
stops, including Senoia, Ga.,
Ventura, Calif., and Bridgeport,
N.J.
The 2023 Progressive AFT
schedule will again celebrate
the country’s motorcycle rallies
and national holidays, holding
events as part of
Daytona Bike Week,
Arizona Bike Week,
and the Sturgis
Motorcycle Rally, along
with races to be held during
Mother’s Day weekend,
Father’s Day weekend
(alongside the Mission Food AMA
Flat Track Grand Championship
amateur nationals no less),
Memorial Day weekend
and the aforementioned
Labor Day weekend
finale.
