DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May
2, 2022) – Progressive American
Flat Track is pleased
to confirm that Falken
Tires will be the
series’ Official Light
Truck Tire for a third
consecutive season in 2022.
Falken Tires is a long-time
standout in the world of
motorsport, with impressive
performances across numerous
disciplines, including the Lucas
Off Road Racing Series, Ultra 4,
USCA, and SCCA, the 4 Hours of
Nürburgring, and the Formula
Drift Championship Series, where
it earned Tire Manufacturer of
the Year honors in 2017.
That shared connection to
motorsports, along with the
natural, overlapped audience of
dirt track fans and light truck
owners, has made for a highly
successful partnership. Falken
Tires continues to spur the
growth of Progressive AFT by
featuring it on Falken Digital
TV, which streams motorsports
content, automotive news, and
behind-the-scenes information on
the latest Falken Tires
developments to the thousands of
Falken dealers across the United
States.
“Falken is excited to return as
the Official Light Truck Tire of
Progressive American Flat
Track,” said Jonathon Bradford,
Falken Tires’ Sr. Manager of
Motorsports and Events. “As we
enter our third year with the
series, it has proven to be a
great outlet to showcase our
products and promote the
connection with our sister
brand, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires.”
Based in Rancho Cucamonga,
California, Falken Tires offers
several lines of tires designed
to excel in the most demanding
conditions, including the
AZENIS, ESPIA, RUBITREK,
WILDPEAK, WINTERPEAK, and ZIEX
families of tires. Originally
founded in Japan in 1983 to be
the flagship high-performance
radial brand of Ohtsu Tire and
Rubber, Falken Tires carries
forward that tradition by
maintaining its focus on the
development of Ultra-High
Performance (UHP) tires and
support of motorsports
competition.
“Progressive AFT is proud to
continue our partnership with
Falken Tires,” said Gene Crouch,
COO of Progressive American Flat
Track. “Falken Tires is the
leader in high-performance tire
technology for light trucks,
among other markets, and a large
portion of our fanbase relies on
their products. They share our
passion for motorsports and have
been an ideal partner as we
continue to introduce the sport
to an even larger audience.”
Progressive AFT will battle at a
Mile for the first time in 2022
and do it twice with the
Mission Red Mile presented by
Indian Motorcycle of Lexington
doubleheader on
Memorial Day weekend at The Red
Mile in Lexington, Kentucky, on
