DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 27, 2022) – Progressive American Flat Track is excited to introduce Automotive Racing Products (ARP) as the Official Performance Fastener for the 2022-2024 Progressive AFT seasons.

The new partnership connects the world’s premier dirt track motorcycle racing series with the world leader in fastener technology. ARP’s bolts, nuts, and other fasteners utilize sophisticated design and metallurgic technology to ensure maximum performance even under the most extreme conditions. Along with Progressive AFT, its products are utilized by leading teams in Formula 1, NASCAR, Land Speed Racing, among many other motorsports, as well as in aerospace applications, including space travel.

“Flat Track racing is an excellent proving ground for the design and durability of ARP fasteners,” said Chris Raschke, director Sales and New Products. “We are delighted to form a partnership with Progressive AFT.”

ARP was founded in Southern California more than 50 years ago by Gary Holzapfel, who recognized fastener failure as an all-too-common issue with engines of the day. The result of that realization emerged a global power in the market that still proudly designs and manufactures its fasteners in the USA to this day. 

“ARP’s products are well proven at the highest levels of motorsports,” said Gene Crouch, COO of Progressive American Flat Track. “We are thrilled to have them partner with America’s Original Extreme Sport, the perfect platform for ARP to showcase the performance and reliability of its fasteners.”
