This is a press release from American Flat Track…
Daytona Beach, FL (January 11, 2019) – American Flat Track (AFT) is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Thom Duma Fine Jewelers (TDFJ) as the series’ Official Jeweler for a sixth consecutive year.
TDFJ will continue to honor the achievements of champions in the AFT Twins and AFT Singles classes by designing and awarding them with custom, one-of-a-kind diamond rings at the series year-end banquet. For 2019 TDFJ has added American Flat Track’s newest competition class – AFT Production Twins – to its contribution.
The rings are designed by Tom Duma himself in collaboration with his twin sons Cody and Cory. Duma takes pride in designing unique rings each year to honor the achievements of American Flat Track champions. These custom-designed rings are then handcrafted by a team of world-class jewelers who characterize TDFJ’s reputation of quality in its industry. In previous years, both the AFT Twins and AFT Singles rings have contained over a full carat of diamonds set in impressive rings made of 18-karat yellow (AFT Twins) and over an ounce of white gold (AFT Singles), accumulating a retail value of $13,000 and $10,000 respectively.
“Tom Duma is a great supporter of American Flat Track and the entire flat track community,” said Michael Lock, CEO of American Flat Track. “Throughout the past five years of partnership he has contributed enthusiastically to the growth of the sport and the amazing Championship rings he creates are testament to the quality and craftsmanship of his jewelry business.”
Tom Duma is no stranger to racing. Prior to establishing himself within his profession, Duma pursued a career as a professional racer and competed in professional flat track from 1976 to 1981. This laid the groundwork for the unique and valued partnership between American Flat Track and TDFJ.
Duma is particularly proud of his “The Racer Series” line of race-inspired jewelry. The Racer Series includes steel shoe pendants, racing number pendants, and much more. The complete line is available for purchase online at www.TDFJ.com, or contact Duma personally via email at contact@tdfj.com.
“It is an honor to be the Official Jeweler to American Flat Track for the sixth consecutive year,” said Duma. “My team and I are excited to design and manufacture all three championship rings this year. I appreciate all the relationships and the support that I have gained over the past five years from the racers, team owners and fans of AFT as well as the flat track community as a whole, from the amateur level to all the retired racers and their families.”
American Flat Track will kick off its highly-anticipated 2019 season with the Bigger, Better, and Faster Daytona TT presented under the lights of the Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, March 14, 2019.
