Progressive AFT has released a provisional schedule for the 2025 season, beginning with the double-header Daytona Short Track I & II during Daytona Bike Week in March and ending with the Lake Ozark Short Track in Missouri in September.
The 2024 season ended with Jared Mees racing his Indian FTR750 to a record-breaking 10th Grand National Championship, after which he retired from racing. And new rules for the 2025 season will see Indian’s victorious flat-tracker gone from the grid, further shaking things up. Without Mees or the FTR, the path to the GNC is left clear for a new racer/bike duo to claim the #1 plate.

The season kicks off at Daytona International Speedway with two short tracks, followed by short tracks at three raceways in California. Next, the series tours the Midwest for mile and half-mile races. In August, American Flat Track returns to Sturgis for the second annual Sturgis TT through the streets of town, as well as the all-new Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I & II. Next up are three races in Illinois, and the season finale will be the Lake Ozark Short Track.
Returning for the second year will be the AFT AdventureTrackers class featuring ADVs, with races taking place at all three Sturgis events and the Peoria TT. Royal Enfield’s Build. Train. Race. program will also be returning for select events.
The 2025 season will debut the Triple Challenge format for the Lima Half-Mile I, Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I, and Springfield Mile I. In the challenge format, the overall winner and final points awarded will be determined by three races of increasing distance.
