AFT Season to Conclude with Doubleheader Double-Dose
In mid-September, Progressive American Flat Track announced the expansion of the final two-race weekends of the season to conclude the 2022 campaign "in epic double-doubleheader fashion."
"The inaugural Drag Specialties Cedar Lake Short Track will feature a unique twist on the doubleheader format, fitting two full points-and-purse-paying Mission SuperTwins presented by S&S Cycle Main Events into a single evening on Saturday, September 24, at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
Following the conclusion of Opening Ceremonies, Mission SuperTwins will kick off the Main Event program with Round 15 of the premier-class championship. Later that same evening, the Mission SuperTwins competitors will return to the track, joined by the participating Mission Production Twins Challenge entrants, to cap off the day’s activities with Round 16.
The Mission Volusia Half-Mile Finale presented by Daytona Dodge at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, will then conclude the 2022 season with a conventional two-day doubleheader, featuring Round 17 on Friday, October 14, and Round 18 on Saturday, October 15.
The weekend will also represent the final two-thirds of the Progressive Triple Crown, which will pay the Mission SuperTwins rider who collects the most combined points across the Progressive Laconia Short Track and twin finale a $25,000 prize.
The additions to the year-end slate further raise the stakes for what was already destined to be a thrilling conclusion to a historic season. With four Mission SuperTwins title fighters representing two different manufacturers separated by just 29 points - and 100 points still up for grabs - this year’s championship battle remains far too close to predict.
