Dallas Daniels
Few racers have debuted on the American Flat Track scene with so much widespread anticipation as Dallas Daniels. Fewer still have so thoroughly exceeded those associated expectations.
After becoming the first rider to win the Nicky Hayden AMA Horizon Award in both flat track in roadracing in 2018, the countdown to his 16th birthday was on throughout the opening half of the 2019 season.
Once he was finally old enough to participate, Daniels immediately made up for lost time and lived up to all the hype.
Weeks after scoring his maiden MotoAmerica Junior Cup victory, Daniels kicked off his AFT Singles career with a solid 11th-place result. He was only just getting started, finishing inside the top five in his third race, and then flat-out dominating the Peoria TT.
Daniels added two more podiums to his 2019 haul and came within a handful of points of breaking into the championship top ten despite not being allowed to compete until the season was half over.
In his first full season as a professional, Daniels established himself as one of the sport’s brightest stars regardless of class. He completely dominated the AFT Singles championship fight in 2020, winning more than half the races and registering a six-race win streak en route to an early title wrap.
In 2021, he’ll look to defend his title while working in AFT Production Twins duty in order to better prepare him for his ultimate career ambition -- the Grand National Championship.
