Estenson Racing is expanding their AFT effort with a four-rider lineup for the 2023 Progressive American Flat Track season. Roadracing standout JD Beach and two-time AFT Singles Champ Dallas Daniels return to fight for the title in the Mission SuperTwins Championship while Trevor Brunner returns to the team in the AFT Singles, joined by new signee Tom Drane. "I am really excited to announce our renewal with Yamaha and would like to thank them for their continued support, belief in our program, and stepping up for us in 2023,” says Team Manager Tommy Hayden.
“I am very proud of our riders and the entire crew for the progress we made this year but we know there are many areas we are capable of improving in and that is what we are pushing towards this off-season. It is also very exciting for us to be adding Tom Drane to our team for 2023 and to be able to watch his progress as a full-time AFT rider,” notes Hayden. “To have JD, Dallas and Trevor all returning and the addition of Tom, I am confident that we have all the talent we need to reach our goals next season."
“Yamaha Racing is excited to continue our support of Estenson Racing in both the American Flat Track SuperTwins and AFT Singles classes,” adds Jim Roach, Yamaha Racing Department Manager for YMUS. “Estenson Racing has won multiple titles in the Singles class, and 2022 was filled with race wins and podiums in the SuperTwins class. Through the continued hard work and development by Estenson Racing, they have transformed their team into a championship contender in both the SuperTwins and Singles classes. We look forward to the start of the racing season.”
Beach believes the team has what it takes to win the title. “After the season we had in 2022, I’m really excited to be back with the team. The progress we made this year was what we’ve been working so hard for, so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do next season with some groundwork already made. I’ve got some big goals for this new season. Ending last year with a broken ankle wasn’t ideal so I’m looking forward to putting in the work this winter and coming out in March stronger than ever.”
“My rookie year in the SuperTwins class was awesome,” says Singles stalwart Daniels. “I was able to learn so much about the bikes, the tracks and the competition, so I’m going to carry that knowledge into 2023 and do the best I can. I’m just extremely grateful for this opportunity that Tim, Tommy and the whole Estenson Racing team have given me to race at the premier level of American Flat Track.”
