Albion, NY (February 19, 2026) – Waters Autobody Racing is proud to share its rider lineup for the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season, marking the team’s 20th year in professional flat track racing.

Gabriel Boisvert, a 23-year-old racer from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada, brings a strong record of wins and podiums in the Flat Track Quebec and Flat Track Canada series. He has also competed in the Flat Track Quebec Ice Series, showing growth on challenging tracks. Gabriel has made an impact at events like the Barbara Fritchie Classic, the Crusaders Motorcycle Club, Square Deal in the Northeast U.S., and the 2025 Daytona Bike Week.

Gabriel said, “I’m very grateful for the opportunity Waters Autobody Racing is giving me to make my debut in the American Flat Track series. The chemistry was there right from our first weekend together. I can’t wait to throw my leg over the bike. Merci!” Boisvert will continue racing in the main Canadian series, but he looks forward to joining Progressive American Flat Track events whenever the schedules allow.

Travis Petton IV, who raced with the team in 2022, is returning for the opening rounds of the season. The fourth-generation racer from Ramona, California, has delivered strong results in past years and is eager to compete at Daytona.

“An unexpected opening occurred. Dave reached out to Travis to see if he was interested, and we are excited to have Travis join us for Daytona and beyond,” stated team owner Rhonda Waters.

When asked, Travis said, “I am beyond stoked to announce I will be returning to the American Flat Track series and will reunite with the Waters Autobody KTM team for 2026. I am very thankful to have this opportunity and can’t wait to kick off the season at Daytona.”

Waters Autobody Racing began with a passion for flat-track racing and a goal of bringing new brands into the sport when Harley-Davidson dominated the scene. Founded in 2007 by David and Rhonda Waters, the team later became Project K Racing. It has remained a private effort, mainly funded by the owners, with help from KTM North America and many sponsors and supporters.
