Sammy Halbert
The hard charging “Slammin’ Sammy” Halbert is one of the most gifted, aggressive, and exciting racers in American Flat Track.
Halbert shot to prominence with the 2004 AMA Pro-Sport Hot-Shoe National Championship in his first season as a pro and has been a significant factor ever since.
It didn’t take long for Halbert to establish himself at the sport’s highest level, garnering Rookie of the Year honors in 2006 and scoring his first premier class victory a year later.
Halbert enjoyed his greatest achievement to date in 2009, winning the overall Grand National Championship. He added another significant resume builder with the X Games Gold Medal in 2017.
An all-around dirt track ace, Halbert boasts the Grand Slam twice over. While his championship results have dipped in recent years as a result of fighting against Indian’s dominant machinery rather than being armed with it, observers are excited to see what he’ll do on his Coolbeth-Nila Racing FTR750 in AFT SuperTwins action in 2020.
