American Flat Track Rider Bio

Chad Cose

Rider Bio Show Hide

Despite having been on the scene for more than a decade, Californian Chad Cose is just now coming into his own. An exceptional natural athlete, Cose started racing at age nine and was also a standout track and field competitor during his high school days. Cose won the 2007 National Hot Shoe Championship and then raced the bulk of the next ten years at the sport’s highest level with a best AFT Twins Main Event result of eighth. He seemingly unlocked another gear in 2018; He not only broke into the AFT Twins championship top ten (sixth) for the first time, but also ripped off 12 top-ten finishes, highlighted by a maiden premier-class podium at the Texas Half-Mile. Cose took that soaring confidence and momentum and redirected it to the undercard for 2019. There he scored his first-career American Flat Track victory with a win in the AMA Production Twins class at the Lima Half-Mile. He then backed it up a few weeks later with his first-ever AFT Singles victory at the Black Hills Half-Mile. Cose wasn’t done yet, winning the AFT Production Twins finale at the Meadowlands Mile. Ultimately, he finished inside the championship top five in both classes. Aggressive and motivated, Cose is willing to mix it up with anyone and has shown the savvy to outfox even the likes of Shayna Texter in final-lap showdowns for the checkered flag.
