“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,” the AMA said in a release.

Bromley was a third-generation flat track racer from Warrington, Pennsylvania, and built one of the most respected resumes in the paddock. He was the 2018 AFT Singles Champion and the 2025 AFT AdventureTrackers Champion.

“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.”

Bromley was also a member of the AMA family as the assistant track racing manager. “Dan was a valued and beloved member of the AMA team and a talented, passionate flat-track racer,” the AMA said. “As assistant track racing manager, he brought dedication and expertise to the job. On the track, he embodied the spirit that defines flat track racing: grit, skill, and an unshakeable love for two wheels.”CN
