Dan Bromley & Shayna Texter To Compete On Red Bull KTM Factory Team
Looks like KTM will be serving up some #OrangeCrush when American Flat Track kicks off this season. Both #1 plate holder Dan Bromley and Shayna Texter #52 will be racing for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team.
Bromley, the 2018 AFT Singles Champion, looks to defend his first title in the Singles class. Last season he notched four wins and 13 podium finishes en route to his championship. “I am extremely excited to be joining the Red Bull KTM Factory Team. After 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.
“I’m really excited to have the opportunity with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team," says the veteran racer. "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.”
“I am looking forward to another step in my career and the learning experience of being Team Manager," says former racer-turned team manager, Chris Fillmore. "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 American Flat Track Championship, please visit their website www.americanflattrack.com
