AFT Confirms Season Finale for Lake Ozark
Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, has now confirmed the venue for its September 14 final race of the season, staging the 2024 Grand National Championship season finale at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri.
The inaugural Lake Ozark Short Track is destined to be a centerpiece attraction of the 18th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest, which will draw more than 125,000 motorcycle enthusiasts to the Lake of the Ozarks to celebrate the area's beautiful scenery and incredible twisty roads from September 11-15.
This will also mark the first occasion the series will visit Lake Ozark Speedway. The venue, which opened in 2004, is a 1/3-mile semi-banked clay oval with seating for more than 5,000 spectators.
Progressive American Flat Track will serve as one of the title partners of Bikefest to maximize awareness of what promises to be one of the most highly anticipated finales in recent memory as living legend and reigning Mission AFT SuperTwins king Jared Mees makes his bid for immortality via an unprecedented tenth Grand National Championship.
Ed Schmidt, Bikefest member, said: "We're thrilled to bring Progressive American Flat Track racing to this year's Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest. The racing is incredible and should prove to be a hit alongside all the other new attractions we have on tap. With more than 300 bars and restaurants, over 50 live music and entertainment shows, a Harley-Davidson giveaway, and tons of vendor areas, we have every expectation that 2024 will be the largest Bikefest yet."
