DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(October 26, 2023) – AMA Pro
Racing announced today
the preliminary schedule for the
2024 Progressive
American Flat Track
season. The 16-round slate
features an ideal balance on
multiple fronts, including in
terms of style, legacy, novelty,
geography and pacing.
Last season, the series
introduced a more compressed
schedule with an evolving
emphasis on each of the sport’s
four disciplines, encouraging
alternating runs of form and
championship comebacks. The
result was one of the most
compelling and electric Grand
National Championship title
fights on record. The ‘24
schedule builds on that
blueprint while having a flavor
all its own.
“The 2023 schedule brought
Progressive AFT back to major
metropolitan markets and
motorcycle rallies, while also
introducing new venues and event
promoters that helped us bring
the sport to first-time fans
from coast-to-coast,” said
Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA
Pro Racing. “As we look
forward to 2024, the next phase
of our growth strategy for the
sport is based on cultivating
long-lasting relationships with
promoter partners and securing
multi-year agreements around
successful events. In addition
to bringing consistency to the
annual calendar for the series,
this approach will allow
promoters to establish date
equity in their events,
cultivating growth and
engagement in the fanbase year
after year.”
The season will play out during
prime motorcycle riding season,
once again opening with a
Daytona Bike Week
doubleheader at Daytona
International Speedway in early
March and once again concluding
in early September. The first
half of the year provides little
time to catch one’s breath with
five all-action Short Tracks set
to be waged over the first six
races. The middle of the
campaign then shifts into
Half-Mile mode while a pair of
late season TTs and Miles will
factor heavily in determining
the title fights.
The 2024 schedule not only pays
homage to the championship’s
storied legacy by featuring
high-profile rounds at its most
iconic venues, such as the Labor
Day weekend doubleheader at the
legendary Springfield
Mile and the iconic
77th Peoria TT,
but it also introduces fresh,
first-time experiences with
brand-new events, including the
Silver Dollar Short
Track in Chico,
California.
Other highlights include the
DuQuoin Mile,
which cast its magic once again
last season by delivering a race
that saw four premier-class
riders representing three
different manufacturers battle
to the checkered flag, as well
as the return of the
Texas Half-Mile at
Texas Motor Speedway, which will
take place alongside the
Goodguys 14th LMC Truck Spring
Lone Star Nationals Car Show.
Yet to be announced events
include an all-new TT and the
return to a fan-favorite
Half-Mile for a spectacular 2024
season finale. Announcements
about the TBA events and ticket
sales will be issued in the
coming weeks.
