Round 18 - American Flat Track Championship - September 29, 2019

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The 2019 American Flat Track Championship concluded on Saturday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey with the Meadowlands Mile where Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Dan Bromley fought down to the wire to ultimately fall just short of a repeat AFT Singles Championship. Bromley finished third in the evening’s Main Event, which gave him a close third overall in the championship standings after 18 rounds of racing.

Bromley secured a solid third-place position the day’s qualifying, setting a positive tone for the season finale. Going straight into AFT Singles Semi 1, Bromley put his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into the lead on the opening lap and battled his way to a second-place transfer into the Main Event. With a front row start, Bromley secured a third-place start in the Main Event and he quickly jumped into second by lap two. He spent a majority of the 12-lap race battling from the second-place position but he was passed with three laps to go, finishing a close third for the night. With nine podium finishes this season, Bromley claimed third-overall in the 2019 AFT Singles Championship. 

Dan Bromley“I ended the season on a high note for myself – I gave it everything I had – but being that I am 6’3” and weigh 30 pounds more than all the riders, it put me at a big disadvantage this year. In the Main Event, I was able to finish third and finish third overall in the championship. Overall, I’m happy with how the night went and I believe the rough track conditions played into my favor. Big thank you to the team and my family for supporting me in my final race.”

It was a tough start to the day for Shayna Texter, who was involved in a three-rider crash early on in AFT Singles Semi 1. Texter was fortunate enough to be able to re-mount and continue racing upon the restart, where she ultimately finished sixth in the semi. Though banged up and bruised, Texter was determined to line up for the final Main Event of the season. However, after completing five laps, she made the tough decision to pull off due to the pain she was experiencing. Texter concluded the season with seventh overall in the 2019 AFT Singles Championship, claiming an impressive total of three victories and two additional podium finishes.
