Dunlop Motorcycle Tires have extended its official tire support for American Flat Track (AFT) racing and is continuing the successful Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track program to support amateur racers.

In addition to being the official tire of AFT for the fifth year, Dunlop will continue to expand its fresh Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track program.

Like the Team Dunlop Elite motocross program, the Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite program includes select amateur racers who will receive unique benefits and support on and off the track. In addition to the Elite riders, any amateur flat track racers can apply for tire discounts through teamdunlop.com.

For its sophomore season, Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite riders include returning riders: Logan McGrane, Bobby Lupica, Jessica Reynolds, Chase Saathoff, Dominic DeMario and Evan Renshaw. New to the team will be Bradon Pfanders and Travis Horn.

Team Dunlop was formed 15 years ago to help amateur motocross racers obtain tire support and receive more exposure so they could chase their goal of becoming pro riders. Today, the Team Dunlop Elite amateur motocross program has successfully helped many riders make a transition to the professional ranks, including Eli Tomac, Adam Cianciarulo, Chase Sexton, Justin Barcia, Blake Baggett, Ashley Fiolek, Justin Bogle, Justin Hill, Jessy Nelson, Austin Forkner, and Joey Savatgy.

Dunlop hopes the Team Dunlop Flat Track Elite program will assist riders in their journey to the professional ranks, just as their motocross alumni have over the years.

“We are very excited to continue with the Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track amateur program,” said Rob Fox, Dunlop Amateur Motocross/Flat Track Support Manager. “Our amateur motocross program is one of the most successful programs in the country and we are determined in making the Team Dunlop Flat Track program just as prestigious.”
