Our American Flat Track (AFT) has successfully renewed a multi-year partnership with Progressive Insurance®, making the dreams of multiple elite teams and dirt-loving athletes a reality.
Since the founding of AFT in 1954 by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), AFT has been adding specs to the record archives, with icons like Indian Wrecking Crew’s original Bill Tuman/Bobby Hill/Ernie Beckman (1950s), Gary Nixon/Dick Mann (1960s), and Kenny Roberts/Eddie Lawson/Wayne Rainey (1970s) leaving a lasting impression (via AFT).
Today, a new generation sets foot on the unpacked oval circuit, backing the brilliance of the racers who came before them; we at wBW salute the 2023 crews, and congratulate AFT on her continued partnership with Progressive Insurance®, who’s been in full support of our dirt lovers since the unprecedented lockdowns of 2020.
“Progressive has played an integral role in accelerating American Flat Track’s growth over the last few years, and we truly appreciate their continued partnership,” states Gene Crouch, the CEO of AMA Pro Racing in a press release issued from American Flat Track.
“It’s great to work with a brand that shares the same values that we have… we’re excited to kick off the next chapter of our partnership and [work] together with Progressive to make our races and the stars of the sport as memorable as the stars of Progressive’s ad campaigns.”
