[motorcycle.com] - Round 3 of American Flat Track Kicks Off this Weekend at the Texas
Round 3 of the 2018 American Flat Track season is headed to Texas this weekend for the Texas Half-Mile, and you know what they say about Texas – everything is bigger there. In addition to the racing, there will be plenty of attractions to get the fans involved and engaged. If you’re not in Texas and want to catch all the action, don’t forget FansChoice.TV streams everything for freeeee! American Flat Track: DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 24, 2018) – Round number 3 of the 2018 American Flat Track season, the*Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Texas Half-Mile presented by Al Lamb’s Dallas Honda,*happens this Saturday – April 28 – at Texas Motor Speedway. Last year’s Texas Half-Mile – the penultimate race of the 2017 season – held plenty of drama, including Jeffrey Carver Jr.’s AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines win over Indian’s Jared Mees on a venerable Harley-Davidson XR750. Then there was Shayna’s Texter’s victory in the AFT Singles class ahead of Kolby ‘The Flying Tomato’ Carlile – who’d go on to clinch the AFT Singles title two weeks later at the Perris, California, finale. This year, each of those championship-contender names – and others – are back in the mix, and they’ll be putting up or shutting up this coming Saturday on the Half-Mile dirt track at Texas Motor Speedway. Mees is coming off two wins in the first two races of the 2018 AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines*championship, and most consider him a front-runner in Texas. But a number of AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines competitors will be out for his Indian Scout FTR750’s hide, including Carver (3rd in Atlanta), Kenny Coolbeth (Indian, 2nd), Jarod Vanderkooi (H-D, 4th), Henry Wiles (5th) and a host of others with AFT Twins victories under their belts. With his win at Daytona and a second-place finish in Atlanta, rising star Dan Bromley*comes into AFT Singles round three with an eight-point lead over Atlanta winner Brandon Price. But it’s early yet, and a number of riders are sure be all over his KTM’s rear fender, including Price (Honda), reigning champ Carlile (Yamaha), and Texter, who finished 7th in Atlanta – just ahead of Carlile – and is now getting comfortable on her new Husqvarna FC 450 racer. If the class contenders want to keep pace with Mees and Bromley, they’ll have to beat them in Texas – or risk possible runaway championship runs. Of course, there’s a lot going on over and above the racing action on Saturday afternoon and evening. Hey, this is Texas, after all, and they do things big in Texas. Once again there will be an eclectic mix of fan- and family-friendly moto-attractions at Texas Motor Speedway and the Dallas/Fort Worth area, all of which will please a wide range of fans. These include:
Gates open at 1:00 pm, with timed practice set to begin at 2:00 pm. Opening Ceremonies*are slated for 5:30 pm, kicking off a night of racing that starts at 6:00 and is scheduled to run until approximately 9:30 pm. Finally, don’t miss televised action of the Texas Half-Mile on NBCSN May 6 at 4:00 pm ET, with a re-air the following day at the same time (4:00 pm ET).
