Daytona Beach, FL (April 16, 2026) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, is set to deliver a full weekend of racing, entertainment, and special moments at Ventura Raceway, bringing the series to the heart of motorcycle country with a lineup of stars on and off the track on Saturday, April 25.
Tyler Bereman rolls in as Grand Marshal, bringing the all-gas-no-brakes energy of a 14-time X Games medalist to Ventura, both on the track and throughout the event.
“Growing up racing flat track and watching my dad mix it up with the greats of the sport, I’m honored to serve as Grand Marshal for Ventura AFT,” said Bereman. “Turning left and backing it in is where it all started for me, so coming back at this point in my career feels like home. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there and enjoying some battles on the beach.”
The excitement continues with Trashed Kids FMX, as Patrick Evans, Dustin Nowak, and Bereman deliver a freestyle motocross show packed with big air, style, and crowd-pleasing intensity.
Fans looking to elevate their race day can experience the 805 Pit Party, a premium add-on featuring a dedicated hospitality area, 805 beverage options, snacks served throughout the event, and paddock access for a closer look at the teams and riders, all just steps from the on-track action.
Adding extra incentive on track, the Jess Garcia Memorial Challenge gives Kicker AFT Singles riders the opportunity to compete in tribute to the California native and former AFT Singles competitor, with $1414 on the line.
The Ventura Short Track will also serve as “Chris Raschke Day,” with tributes throughout the evening honoring his life and lasting impact on the sport.
And when the gate drops, it’s pure Ventura, tight, fast, and wide open, a showcase of everything that makes Progressive American Flat Track one of the most electrifying forms of motorcycle racing in the world.
