American Flat Track (AFT) remains competitive as ever in the 2022 season. With less than 10 points separating the top 5 riders after the Volusia (Florida) and Texas rounds, the series looks poised to deliver the same riveting racing we’ve come to expect from the dirt oval. While the rivalries and rostrum command the most coverage, racers still put their health and well-being at risk every time they line up on the grid.
To help protect racers’ livelihoods, AFT has named non-profit Rookies Of ‘79 And Friends the official series charity since 2018. As the name suggests, the organization consists of influential riders from the 1979 season and includes such names as Scott Parker, Wayne Rainey, Ronnie Jones, Charlie Roberts, Tommy Duma, Jackie Mitchell, Lance Jones, and Johnny Wincewicz. 2022 may mark the non-profit's 13th year in operation and the fifth straight season partnering with AFT, but the two parties are going bigger than ever.
