Effective immediately, Carr will oversee all competition-related aspects of the series as it enters an exciting new chapter of growth and evolution.

"We're proud to welcome Chris Carr back to AMA Pro Racing," said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. "Chris understands this sport at the highest levels: as a champion, a leader, and a steward of its incredible history. He brings unmatched credibility, integrity, and competitive insight that will strengthen our riders, teams and manufacturer ecosystem while elevating the fan experience nationwide."

One of the most accomplished riders in the history of American motorcycle racing, Carr's career spans decades at the top of the sport. His championship success, institutional knowledge, and deep relationships across the industry uniquely position him to guide Progressive American Flat Track's competition strategy.

"I'm excited to return to AMA Pro Racing and take on the role of Series Director for Progressive American Flat Track," said Carr. "Flat track has defined my life. I look forward to working alongside riders, teams, manufacturers, and partners to ensure safe, fair, and fiercely competitive racing that honors our history and builds our future."

In his new role, Carr will manage season calendar development and event planning, event operations and safety protocols, rulebook evolution and technical regulations, rider and team relations, new rider evaluations and licensing, and strategic initiatives including the Road to AFT talent development program.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (February 17, 2026) - Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, is thrilled to announce a special Quarters for Kids Campaign that will fund $27,000 in bike learning programs through All Kids Bike. During the 2026 Progressive AFT Season, $0.25 from every race ticket will help fund new All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride programs.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, All Kids Bike provides schools with everything they need to teach kids how to ride a bike - from balancing to pedaling - as part of their Kindergarten PE class. The comprehensive, ready-to-teach program is currently teaching over 180,000 students across the US how to ride this school year.

"As huge fans of Progressive American Flat Track racing, we truly believe that inspiring the next generation of racers starts by empowering children to ride at the youngest age possible," said All Kids Bike Executive Director Lisa Weyer. "The amazing part of this Quarters for Kids campaign is that it enables AFT fans to help fund the future of the sport. Even if you attend just one race this season, you'll help 3,000 Kindergarteners discover the confidence and joy of riding a bike."

Twenty-five cents from every ticket this season will help fund the $9,000 All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride Program in three (3) new schools. Because each program remains in a school for 10 years, this single season can ultimately help approximately 3,000 children learn to ride a bike. If the program falls short of its $27,000 goal, a donation from Tim Estenson will offset the difference to ensure all programs are fully funded, proving that Progressive AFT racing teams truly believe in the power of the All Kids Bike Program.

Don't miss the start of the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season. The series kicks off the year with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA I & II at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, March 5 and Friday, March 6.

Following the season opener, the series travels to Senoia Raceway for the Yamaha Atlanta Short Track on March 21.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 9, 2026) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, announced today that tickets are officially on sale for the Yamaha Atlanta Short Track. Scheduled for Saturday, March 21, the event marks Round 3 of the 2026 season and the series' anticipated return to the red clay of Senoia Raceway.

The Georgia venue has quickly cemented its reputation as a pivotal stop on the circuit. For the past three seasons, the high-banked, 3/8-mile oval has served as a springboard for championship battles that lasted until the final checkered flag of the season. Last season, Briar Bauman brought home the Harley-Davidson XG750R's maiden Mission AFT SuperTwins win, setting the stage for a months-long duel with Dallas Daniels, who ultimately prevailed to secure the 2025 Mission AFT SuperTwins Championship.

The 2026 edition of the Yamaha Atlanta Short Track promises an expanded slate of action featuring four distinct classes: Mission AFT SuperTwins, KICKER AFT Singles, AFT AdventureTrackers and the emerging AFT ProSport 450. It will mark the first time both the AFT AdventureTrackers and AFT ProSport 450 take to the red clay of Senoia Raceway.

Originally built in 1969 by Hence Pollard, the facility has undergone a modern resurgence under the leadership of the Pollard family and short-track standout Bubba Pollard. Beyond the on-track competition, fans can enjoy a festival-style atmosphere that includes live music, a premier fireworks display, an interactive Fan Zone and Kids Zone, multi-day camping opportunities and a variety of local food vendors.

A wide range of ticketing options and premium experiences are available for fans of all ages. General admission tickets are priced at $50 for adults, while students can attend for $30 with valid student identification presented at the event. Children ages 12 and under are admitted free with the purchase of a paid adult ticket. Reserved Grandstand seating is available for all ages, with Row 1 priced at $70 and Rows 2 and above available for $60.

Fans looking to get closer to the action can enhance their race day with the Trackside Fan Experience. Opening Ceremonies access includes infield viewing of the opening ceremonies and one segment of racing action, priced at $135 for all ages or available as a $95 add-on to an existing ticket. Practice Viewing offers infield access for one segment of on-track action during practice sessions and is available for $110 for all ages or $70 as an add-on.

Pit access is also available, with Pit Passes priced at $50 for adults and $30 for children ages 12 and under. A Trackside Entry Ticket, available for all ages, is offered at $85. Reserved Trackside Parking can be purchased for $100 per vehicle, while Multi-Day Camping Passes are available for $75.
