RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – February 28, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Dunlop Motorcycle Tires continues to be the official tire of American Flat Track (AFT) and is continuing its successful Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track program to support amateur racers and continue to include more minibike racers. In addition to being the official tire of AFT for the eight straight year, Dunlop will continue to develop its Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track program.

“Dunlop’s support of amateur racing is unmatched in the United States,” said Mike Buckley, Dunlop Sr. Vice President of Sales/Marketing. ” We have proven that the Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite program assists riders in their journey to the professional ranks, just as the motocross alumni have over the 18 years.”

This year, Dominic DeMario and Evan Renshaw who were part of the program since its inaugural year plus Bradon Pfanders who has been on the team since 2021 have graduated out of the program and are on their way toward their American Flat Track professional racing debuts, as a Team Dunlop Elite Alumni. They will join the ranks of other Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite alumni, including Jess Reynolds, Chase Saathoff, Logan McGrane, Billy Ross, and many more.

Like the Team Dunlop Elite motocross program, the Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite program includes select amateur racers who will receive unique benefits and support on and off the track. In addition to the Elite riders, any amateur flat track racer can apply for tire discounts through the new teamdunlop.com.

Joining the Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite 8 rider selection this year will be Jackson Joiner, Sam Drane and returning racer Travis Horn. Joiner is one of the top 65cc racers in the country who will race on the KR345 and help develop future Flat Track minibike tires. Drane is the 2023 AMA Flat Track Grand National 250 Production Champion who hails from Australia and will compete all this year in the US. Horn will return to the team after honing his skills in road racing the last few years. They will line up with returning Elite team riders Adam Costan, Colton Shafer, Braxton Ragan, Jack Brucks and Meg Greimel. Ragan, Shafer and Brucks will continue to prove the performance of the 17” DT4!
