Yamaha Returns as an OEM Partner for the 2026 Progressive AFT Campaign and as Title Sponsor of Atlanta Short Track
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 13, 2025) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, announced today that Yamaha Motor Corp., USA will return as an official OEM Partner for the 2026 season.
Continuing its deep integration with the series, Yamaha will also remain the title sponsor for the Yamaha Atlanta Short Track. The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, at Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia.
The 2026 season marks Yamaha’s fourth consecutive year as the title sponsor in Senoia. Since establishing its Marietta, Georgia, offices in 2018, the manufacturer has headlined seven Progressive AFT rounds in the greater Atlanta area.
Yamaha enters the 2026 campaign following a dominant 2025 season. Last year, Mission AFT SuperTwins star Dallas Daniels secured six race wins on his way to a career-first Grand National Championship aboard the Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07.
The brand saw equal success in KICKER AFT Singles competition. Phenom Tom Drane led the field with eight victories, capturing his first career KICKER AFT Singles title on the Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F. Both Daniels and Drane return to the roster this year to defend their No. 1 plates.
Yamaha plans to celebrate its championship sweep with fans and staff at the Senoia round, hosting approximately 250 employees. The brand will feature an expansive presence in the Fan Zone along with a dedicated Yamaha-branded parking area.
