| DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 20, 2025) – AMA Pro Racing announced today its 16-round schedule for the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season. Fresh off one of the most compelling Grand National Championships in recent memory, the series is leaning into what made the '25 campaign great and building upon that momentum via some spectacular additions, including new events, venues, classes, and initiatives. The 2026 season will again launch with a string of five successive Short Tracks, delivering another fast, unpredictable opening to the championship. The run begins during DAYTONA Bike Week with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA, back-to-back nights of AFT Nationals at Daytona International Speedway, with the opening round on Thursday, March 5. However, the excitement actually arrives in earnest a day earlier, with the launch of the Road to AFT and the first of seven Mission Foods CTR Showcase Events held in conjunction with American Flat Track Nationals. Operated by Cory Texter Race Promotions, these AMA-sanctioned events will showcase amateur flat track racing on the day prior to select Progressive AFT Nationals. This strategic alliance around the Road to AFT will anchor the sport's talent pipeline in premium amateur racing events and provide a clear path from amateur to pro competition. The AFT AdventureTrackers™ class returns with an expanded slate for 2026. The quick success of the production-based class found immediate support from motorcycle manufacturers and paved the way for an all-new category: AFT StreetTrackers™. Built around lightly-modified, production-based twin-, triple-, and four-cylinder motorcycles, the new class draws inspiration from the sport's Class C roots by creating a clear, retail-connected platform for motorcycle manufacturers and dealers to re-engage with the sport. "These additions are intended to realign the sport with the core principles that powered the growth and success of the Grand National Championship for decades," said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. "The Road to AFT reestablishes the critical link between amateur and pro, reinvigorating the feeder system for the professional ranks. The introduction of AFT StreetTrackers will open marketing lanes for the motorcycle industry to invest in the sport with clear, measurable ROI. The 2026 schedule will be a showcase for what the sport truly is: the authentic American motorcycle racing product built on Class C values: approachability, availability and affordability." Along with the series' annual stops at such storied events as the Lima Half-Mile and the 79th Peoria TT, the 2026 calendar includes a pair of novel entries. On Saturday, May 16, the fabled Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland, will host ThrottleFest, a combined moto-and-music festival with four days of motorcycle racing. Featuring pro-am hair scrambles, motocross, endurocross, pit bike racing and Progressive American Flat Track headlining the show, ThrottleFest will set a new gold standard in two-wheel entertainment. On Saturday, June 6, the series makes its long-awaited return to Tennessee with the inaugural Nashville Short Track at Billy Lane's Tennessee National Raceway. The event will also host the public debut of the Northern Tool + Equipment Legends Build: Student Challenge motorcycle—a nine-month project where high school CTE students are transforming a 2025 Harley-Davidson Nightster into an XR750-inspired flat track racer under the mentorship of Scott Parker, Chris Carr, Kenny Coolbeth Jr., Billy Lane, and other icons of the sport. The Triple Challenge—AFT's escalating endurance and points-intensity format—returns after its 2025 debut. The format will be featured at the opening night of the Lima Half-Mile doubleheader on Friday, June 26, and again at Springfield Mile I on Saturday, September 5. Each race increases in distance, difficulty, and points value, testing riders' race-craft and stamina. The Springfield Mile Doubleheader on Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6, will again close the season, restoring the sport's crown jewel as the decisive weekend for the Grand National Championship.
