2019 RED BULL KTM FACTORY RACING FLAT TRACK TEAM ANNOUNCED
KTM Motorsports
is pleased to announce its Red Bull KTM
Factory Racing Team lineup for the 2019 American Flat Track
Championship as the brand dives into full-factory support in the
premier championship series in 2019. Riding aboard the
championship-proven
KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, teammates Dan Bromley and Shayna
Texter are set to contest the AFT Singles Championship in
2019.
Bromley, the 2018 AFT Singles Champion, heads into the upcoming
season with the coveted number one plate as he looks to defend his
first title in the Singles class. The Pennsylvania native is no
stranger to the number one plate, though, as he holds many AMA
National Championships in flat track racing. Bromley witnessed his
best season ever in 2018, where he notched four wins and 13 podium
finishes en route to his championship and he looks to build upon
those race-wins for 2019.
Dan Bromley: "I am extremely excited to be joining
the Red Bull KTM Factory Team. With having a support effort last
year, I look forward to having the full-factory backing in 2019.
Teaming up with Shayna, I feel that the team will be a force to be
reckoned with and I look forward to continuing my momentum from the
2018 season."
Texter, who also hails from Pennsylvania, finished third overall in
AFT Singles in 2018 with three race-wins and eight podium
appearances. Texter began her professional racing career in 2008
and since then she has earned 15-career AFT Singles wins, the most
of any other rider in the class. In 2011, Texter became the first
female to win an American Flat Track National Main Event and she
continues to pave the way for women in racing.
Shayna Texter: "I'm really excited to have the
opportunity with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team! I learned so
much this past season running my own program but it's a dream to be
joining a team with a winning culture that is always READY TO
RACE."
Team Manager, Chris Fillmore: "KTM is very excited
to announce these two riders for the new Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing Flat Track Team and I, personally, am looking forward to
another step in my career and the learning experience of being Team
Manager. Dan Bromley is the reigning champion in the AFT Singles
class and Shayna Texter is the winningest rider in AFT Singles
history, so we couldn't have asked for a more 'READY TO RACE'
lineup this season. Both riders have incredible potential and we
can't wait to get the season underway. Building a new team and
program from the ground up is not short of challenges, so I would
like to personally thank the KTM Motorsports team, Dan and Shayna,
as well as our team partners Red Bull, Roofsystems, Motorex, WP,
Akrapovic, Renthal, Dubya, Hinson, HBD MotoGrafx, MotoMaster,
Acerbis, Twin Air, Alpinestars, Red Torpedo, KTM Powerparts, KTM
Powerwear and Wings for Life."
The 2019 American Flat Track Championship kicks off on March 14,
2019 in Daytona Beach, Florida. For more information on the
