Additionally, Sugarlands further cements its commitment to the sport as the presenting sponsor of the Mission Foods Award Party.

“American Flat Track is built on passion, authenticity and community, creating a natural alignment with who we are as a brand,’ said Patrick Sullivan, Sugarlands chief commercial officer. “We’re excited to tap into the culture surrounding the sport and bring our award-winning moonshines and new Broken Antler Flavored Whiskey to the track in a fun, engaging way throughout the 2026 season and beyond.”  

The Sugarlands American Flat Track Kick-Off Party Presented by Giuseppe's Steel City Pizza and Jostens will serve as the primary hub for fans, riders, and industry leaders to gather before the first green flag drops.
