(March 12, 2026) – Following season opener at the DAYTONA Flat Track, the 2026 AFT AdventureTrackers™ championship is narrowing its sights on the most storied venues in American motorcycle racing. The chase for the title will now be decided across a curated selection of the sport’s most prestigious “Crown Jewel” events, centering the championship battle at the historic Jackpine Gypsies facility in Sturgis and the legendary Peoria TT. Originally devised to provide the Dual Adventure segment a competitive outlet, AFT AdventureTrackers showcases the performance and versatility of modern adventure motorcycles in near-production trim. With championship-caliber riders at the controls, the class earned a reputation for thrilling racing as competitors navigate the versatile machines around unique racecourses in dramatic fashion. The pursuit of the title resumes this August amidst the energy of the world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club will serve as a high-intensity hub for the class, hosting two critical rounds that test every facet of Adventure riding. On August 8, riders will tackle the Jackpine Gypsies Super TT, a technical masterclass featuring high-speed sections and a jump designed to push machines to their limits. This will be followed on August 10 by a return to the facility for the Jackpine Gypsies Short Track, a pure display of bar-to-bar aggression and agility on a tight, demanding oval. The 2026 AFT AdventureTrackers season will reach its definitive crescendo at one of the most revered stops on the circuit: the Peoria TT. By positioning the Peoria Motorcycle Club as the season finale on August 22, the AFT AdventureTrackers class provides a fittingly grand stage for a champion to be crowned. Known for its rich history and the iconic jump that has defined generations of racing, Peoria represents the ultimate proving ground for the performance and authenticity of modern adventure motorcycles from manufacturers including BMW, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Suzuki, and Triumph. This championship path intensifies the pressure on riders and teams, as every lap at these historic venues now carries immense weight toward the final standings. By concentrating the title fight on the sport’s most iconic dirt, AFT AdventureTrackers ensures maximum visibility for the class and a high-stakes conclusion for the fans. With the opening round complete and the most challenging tracks in the sport ahead, the battle for the 2026 AFT AdventureTrackers championship has become a prestigious sprint to the finish. |
