AFT: Daniels Back on Top in Lima Reversal of Fortune

Editorial Note: Bodie Paige, a winning MotoAmerica Twins Cup racer, finished second and third in his first two Kicker AFT Singles appearances.

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.  – Reigning Grand National Champion scored a desperately needed victory with a flawless ride in Saturday night’s Super.com Lima Half-Mile II presented by Drag Specialties, Round 9 of the Progressive American Flat Track season, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, 

Daniels’ third-career win at the Allen County Fairgrounds in Lima, Ohio, provided both his title defense and his confidence a massive boost at just the right time – a fact doubled up by the contrasting misfortune of Briar Bauman (No. 3 RWR/Jacob Construction/Parts Plus Harley-Davidson XG750R), who had streaked his way to the top of the Mission AFT SuperTwins title standings one day earlier. 

Rather, Daniels’ challenge came from Kody Kopp (No. 12 Latus Motors Racing Harley-Davidson XG750R), who rebounded from his own bout of bad luck on Friday.  

Kopp launched into second from Row 2 at the start of the Main Event and spent the majority of the subsequent ten minutes pushing Daniels from close behind, searching for a line or a move that would allow him to steal the lead the entire time. 

With around a minute to go, Kopp decided he could wait no longer and took a gamble that failed to pay off. That gave the Estenson Racing star nearly a second worth of padding as the race neared its conclusion. 

A tight grouping of four lappers offered the Latus Motors Racing Harley-Davidson rookie one final hope, but instead it sealed the deal as Daniels carved a neater path through the slower riders. 

Daniels stormed past the stripe 1.583 seconds up on Kopp to claim his second win of 2026 and his first in his last six outings. 

“It was a super tough Main Event,” Daniels said. “The first Lima I ever won, I just kind of ran away with it, and it was more or less easy. You don’t really have a lot of those in your career, as I’m learning. Leading the whole Lima Half-Mile is so tough. Kody has been riding so good this year, and he was riding so good yesterday… I think he would have won if he didn’t have his mechanical. I definitely wanted to answer today. I wanted to answer for a long time. It’s been a long couple rounds for the whole team. We made some good headway tonight. 

“This one is tough. It’s a little bitter. It was a tough day for the whole pit area. We don’t take it lightly. We know what we’re signing up for, and it’s not easy. I want to keep all the riders who had some falls in our thoughts and dedicate this one to them.” 

Meanwhile, Bauman, who came into the day with a record-tying sixth straight win in his sights, got away in third and ran right with Daniels and Kopp approximately a third of the way into the race.  

At that point he dropped off the chase. He was then tracked down and overtaken by Davis Fisher (No. 67 Rackley Racing/Bob Lanphere’s BMC Racing KTM 790 Duke) just prior to half-distance and had Jeffrey Carver (No. 123 Happy Trails Racing Harley-Davidson XG750R) on his tail as well. 

It only got worse – much worse – from there, as Bauman was forced out of the race altogether with a mechanical issue with around two minutes left on the clock. He was ultimately credited with 14th position.  

Fisher continued on to complete his double-podium weekend, while fourth went to a charging Aidan RoosEvans (No. 26 FRA Trust Advisors Harley-Davidson XG750R), who edged mentor Carver for the spot.  

Chad Cose (No. 49 Parker Racing/Pro Roofing Yamaha MT-07) finished in sixth, while Ben Lowe (No. 25 Rackley Racing/Roof Systems KTM 790 Duke), Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda/Mission Foods Honda CB750 Hornet), Declan Bender (No. 70 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07), and Logan Mcgrane (No. 14 Schaffers MotorSports/Ryan Varnes Racing KTM 790 Duke) rounded out the top ten, respectively. 

Naturally, the results had a dramatic effect on the Grand National Championship as it opened its second half. Kopp is now back in front, albeit by just a single point over Daniels (169-168). Bauman’s standing took a hit, slotting him down from first to third. That said, he remains well within striking distance just ten points removed from Kopp at 158.

  • KICKER AFT Singles 

In one fell swoop, KICKER AFT Singles king Tom Drane (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) redefined the depth of his domination over the class on multiple fronts – claiming his fifth win of the season, his fifth straight at Lima, and a record-setting 24th for his career – in a runaway performance Saturday night. 

Kage Tadman (No. 28 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R) challenged Drane in the Main’s opening stages, but the high-risk riding required just to keep things close proved unsustainable.  

Tadman – who had crashed twice on the weekend in previous attempts to run with the Estenson Racing Yamaha ace – eventually dropped off the chase and down the order, while the effortlessly smooth Drane snaked away at the front. 

In the end, Drane broke his tie with Kody Kopp for most wins in KICKER AFT Singles history with an overwhelming 4.525-second margin of victory at the track where he made his series debut in 2022. 

Drane said, “I always dreamed of being the champion, and to do that last year was awesome. And now to be the winningest Singles rider is just amazing. I couldn’t have done it without my whole Estenson Racing Monster Energy Yamaha team. They backed me and believed in me the whole way.” 

Drane’s long-time rival, Chase Saathoff (No. 88 1st Impressions Race Team Husqvarna FC450), came home second, running down Tadman and leaving him in his roost right around the race’s halfway point.  

Tadman was also overhauled by the prodigious Australian, Bodie Paige (No. 165 BS Ranch/RWR/American Honda CRF450R), who finished off his Drane-like Progressive AFT debut with his second podium in as many attempts. 

Tadman’s descent ended with a respectable fourth, while Bradon Pfanders (No. 83 Memphis Shades/Corbin Seats Yamaha YZ450F) picked up his first top-five since scoring a breakthrough win at DAYTONA back in March. 

Evan Kelleher (No. 31 Schaeffer’s Motorsports KTM 450 SX-F), Tarren Santero (No. 75 Roof Systems/Texas Utility Studies/Vinson Construction Honda CRF450R), Walker Porter (No. 10 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R), Jordan Beaulac (No. 156 Picotte Motosport/Dofralex GASGAS MC 450F), and Trevor Brunner (No. 21 KMA Racing/March Equipment Honda CRF450R) completed the race’s top ten in that order. 

Drane’s third straight victory of ‘26 also blew open the championship fight, which he now leads by a mammoth 37 points (180-143). That gap is to Saathoff, who slipped back past Tadman (140) to reclaim control of second in the title fight following nine of 16 rounds. 

Note: AMA Pro Racing earlier announced the tragic passing of Dan Bromley following an on-track incident during the event. AMA Pro Racing and the American Flat Track community extend our deepest condolences to Dan’s family, friends, teammates, fellow competitors, and all who knew him. 

Information regarding memorial arrangements and any further updates will be communicated when appropriate.

ASBK: Voight Crowned 2026 Champion at Queensland Raceway

Twenty-year-old Harrison Voight put the final gloss on a sensational season to wrap up the 2026 Penrite Australian Superbike Championship presented by Pirelli (ASBK) at Queensand Raceway on Sunday, June 28.

Voight’s second place finish in the opening 16-lap race behind Cru Halliday (Stop and Seal Ducati) was enough to build an unassailable lead in the SW-Motech Superbike class over McMartin Racing Ducati teammate Josh Waters, making him the second youngest Superbike champion since 1989.

Faced with a wet track in race two, Voight, with one eye on the continuation of his European Moto2 campaign next weekend, opted to remain on the sidelines as veteran Glenn Allerton (Superbike Advocates Racing Ducati) scored a stirring win.

Voight finished the five-round Superbike title on 218pts ahead of Waters (208pts) and the fast-finishing Halliday (177pts).

“It felt great to get it done in the first race,” said Voight. “It’s been a nerve-wracking week and I’ve felt all the emotions.

“A big thank you to everyone who has helped me get here over the last couple of years.

“When I started road racing I idolised the likes of Josh Waters, and he’s helped me a lot as a teammate over the last two years.”

  • SW-Motech Superbike race one

Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team) got the holeshot in race one, with Allerton and Halliday slotting into second and third as Voight also started to get a real hurry along as well – he set a new lap record of 1:07.093 on lap three.

Allerton was shuffled back to fourth position a few laps later, and on lap eight Halliday and Voight finally broke Jones’ resolve to make their way to the sharp end of the pack.

That set the tone for the balance of the 16-lapper – with the championship-winning Voight the biggest beneficiary – with Waters finishing in fourth ahead of Allerton, JJ Nahlous (Yamaha Racing Team), Cameron Dunker (Blue Marlin Pools Racing Yamaha) and Anthony West (DesmoSport Ducati).

It was Halliday’s fifth Superbike victory, following on from his fifth career pole position on Sunday.

A notable absence from race one was John Lytras (Caboolture Yamaha), who was grounded by engine gremlins that also kept him out of race two.

  • SW-Motech Superbike race two

It was a case of déjà vu for Allerton, who won the corresponding race in wet conditions last season.

But it certainly wasn’t a cake walk in the greasy conditions, with Superbike rookie Olly Simpson (DesmoSport  Ducati) checking out from the start.

It took Allerton until lap 14 to pass Simpson en route to his 28th Superbike victory, with Jones claiming bronze from Waters, Halliday, Dunker, New Zealander Morgan McLaren-Wood (MotoGO Yamaha) and Nahlous.

McLaren-Wood was a revelation, circulating as high as third before running wide at turn three and dropping back.

Dunker finished fourth in the championship on 175pts from Allerton (171pts), Jones (165pts), Nahlous (153pts) and Jack Favelle (Addicted to Track Yamaha, 142pts).

R.I.P.: AMA Official and Racer Dan Bromley

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – AMA Pro Racing mourns the loss of American Flat Track competitor Dan Bromley, who passed following an on-track incident during Saturday’s Lima Half-Mile in Lima, Ohio. AMA Pro Racing and the American Flat Track community extend our deepest condolences to Dan’s family, friends, teammates, fellow competitors, and all who knew him.

A third-generation flat track racer from Warrington, Pennsylvania, Bromley built one of the most respected resumes in the paddock. He was the 2018 AFT Singles champion and the 2025 AFT AdventureTrackers champion, and his career reflected the consistency, versatility, and determination that define the best of flat track.

“Few families have contributed more to the spirit and strength of flat track than the Bromley’s,” said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. “Dan carried that legacy with talent, humility, and a genuine love for the people around him. He was a true champion in every sense of the word. He earned respect as a racer, but his impact reached far beyond results on the track. His presence in the paddock made our sport better, and his loss will be felt across the entire flat track community. On behalf of AMA Pro Racing, we send our sincere condolences to the Bromley family during this difficult time.”

Information regarding memorial arrangements and any further updates will be communicated when appropriate.

Twenty-year-old Harrison Voight put the final gloss on a sensational season to wrap up the 2026 Penrite Australian Superbike Championship presented by Pirelli (ASBK) at Queensand Raceway on Sunday, June 28.

Voight’s second place finish in the opening 16-lap race behind Cru Halliday (Stop and Seal Ducati) was enough to build an unassailable lead in the SW-Motech Superbike class over McMartin Racing Ducati teammate Josh Waters, making him the second youngest Superbike champion since 1989.

Faced with a wet track in race two, Voight, with one eye on the continuation of his European Moto2 campaign next weekend, opted to remain on the sidelines as veteran Glenn Allerton (Superbike Advocates Racing Ducati) scored a stirring win.

Voight finished the five-round Superbike title on 218pts ahead of Waters (208pts) and the fast-finishing Halliday (177pts).

“It felt great to get it done in the first race,” said Voight. “It’s been a nerve-wracking week and I’ve felt all the emotions.

“A big thank you to everyone who has helped me get here over the last couple of years.

“When I started road racing I idolised the likes of Josh Waters, and he’s helped me a lot as a teammate over the last two years.”

Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team) got the holeshot in race one, with Allerton and Halliday slotting into second and third as Voight also started to get a real hurry along as well – he set a new lap record of 1:07.093 on lap three.

Allerton was shuffled back to fourth position a few laps later, and on lap eight Halliday and Voight finally broke Jones’ resolve to make their way to the sharp end of the pack.

That set the tone for the balance of the 16-lapper – with the championship-winning Voight the biggest beneficiary – with Waters finishing in fourth ahead of Allerton, JJ Nahlous (Yamaha Racing Team), Cameron Dunker (Blue Marlin Pools Racing Yamaha) and Anthony West (DesmoSport Ducati).

It was Halliday’s fifth Superbike victory, following on from his fifth career pole position on Sunday.

A notable absence from race one was John Lytras (Caboolture Yamaha), who was grounded by engine gremlins that also kept him out of race two.

It was a case of déjà vu for Allerton, who won the corresponding race in wet conditions last season.

But it certainly wasn’t a cake walk in the greasy conditions, with Superbike rookie Olly Simpson (DesmoSport  Ducati) checking out from the start.

It took Allerton until lap 14 to pass Simpson en route to his 28th Superbike victory, with Jones claiming bronze from Waters, Halliday, Dunker, New Zealander Morgan McLaren-Wood (MotoGO Yamaha) and Nahlous.

McLaren-Wood was a revelation, circulating as high as third before running wide at turn three and dropping back.

Dunker finished fourth in the championship on 175pts from Allerton (171pts), Jones (165pts), Nahlous (153pts) and Jack Favelle (Addicted to Track Yamaha, 142pts).
