“Parts Unlimited is really excited to continue the relationship with Progressive AFT with a new multiyear deal,” said Hylton Beattie, Global Motorsports Director of Parts Unlimited. “We are delighted to be the AFT Singles Class Title Sponsor. The Singles class consistently delivers close, exciting racing from a mixture of experienced and talented young riders that in 2021 saw twelve different riders on the podium. We will continue to “We Support the Sport” with the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER events encompassing broad factory support, professional privateer teams and raw talent, all the ingredients to produce some legendary racing.”

“American Flat Track is an organization that KICKER has followed and respected for the longest time,” said Kevin Campbell, Director of KICKER Marketing. “In our minds, it is a smart move for a brand such as KICKER Performance Audio to associate itself with a motorsport that boasts the lengthy history and accomplishments of AFT.”
