Pickerington, OH (February 25, 2026) — The American Motorcyclist Association has officially announced the racing schedule and class structure for the 2026 Roof Systems AMA Flat Track Grand Championship presented by All Balls Racing.
Running July 5-10 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in Du Quoin, Illinois, the Roof Systems AMA Flat Track Grand Championship presented by All Balls Racing represents the only amateur flat track competition in the country where racers can earn AMA National No. 1 plates.
“We have put together an outstanding racing schedule at the famed Du Quoin State Fairgrounds, with several events planned under the lights,” AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant said. “The AMA Flat Track Grand Championship is such a special week, and we look forward to going back to Du Quoin and celebrating everything that makes flat track such an incredible sport.”
With racing across 25 classes planned for the week, competitors will also race for four prestigious special awards, including the Nicky Hayden AMA Flat Track Horizon Award, which honors the legacy of AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Nicky Hayden and is earned by the racer that shows the necessary character and ability to excel at the professional level. The AMA will also award the Bill Werner AMA Fast Brain Award, the AMA Youth Flat Track Racer of the Year and the AMA Vet/Sr. Flat Track Racer of the Year.
New in 2026 is the Vintage Featured Magic Mile, which allows racers to take their vintage motorcycles (1998 and Older) out on the track at the famed Du Quoin Magic Mile for a night of competition. The Vintage Featured Magic Mile is an AMA Featured Event, and AMA National No. 1 plates will not be awarded at the event.
Racing pre-registration for this event will open in early April, and those who pre-register before June 17 will appear on the special-edition 2026 Roof Systems AMA Flat Track Grand Championship rider’s shirt.
