<<< Continued from cover the Indian Wrecking Crew ." Mees has been an instrumental part of the FTR750 ' s success . In addition to being Indian Motorcycle ' s hero factory rider since 2017 , Mees played an invaluable role in developing the FTR750 - providing expert-level feedback and insights to Indian Motorcycle engineers and S & S Cycle , who developed the FTR750 ' s chassis . Piloting the FTR750 , Mees has secured six championship titles and secured a new all-time record of ten career championships . KUDOS ! In addition to its factory efforts , Indian Motorcycle has been a great supporter of privateer teams , paying out more than $ 4,000,000 in privateer contingency - hurrah !

Jared Mees ( No . 1 Rogers Racing / SDI Racing / Indian Motorcycle FTR750 ) put the finishing touches on what may prove the final and most convincing argument in support of his claim as the greatest rider in the history of Progressive American Flat Track , sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing : an unprecedented tenth Grand National Championship . Mees did exactly what he needed to - and then some - at the Lake Ozark Speedway Short Track ( Round 16 ) to secure this crowning achievement as the 2024 season came to its conclusion with the inaugural running of the Parts Plus Lake Ozark Short Track presented by Arrowhead Brass and Arby ' s in Eldon , Missouri .

Mission AFT SuperTwins Racing before a packed house with some 125,000 motorcycle enthusiasts flooding the area for the 18th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest , the Mission AFT SuperTwins Main Event was loaded with talented riders motivated to end their respective ' 24 campaigns on a high note . The Indian Motorcycle hero grabbed the holeshot and battled it out over the race ' s opening stages with secondranked Brandon Robinson ( No . 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 ), the only rider retaining even the slimmest mathematical chance of stealing away the # 1 plate . But by the contest ' s halfway point ,

Mees had shook free at the front and the remaining drama centered on whether Dallas Daniels ( No . 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ), running in ninth , could maintain his season-long podium streak . He systematically worked his way forward while Robinson duked it out with Jarod Vanderkooi ( No . 20 JMC Motorsports / Fairway Ford Ohio Indian FTR750 ) for second . Daniels eventually made his way up to their scrap , displacing Robinson and then Vanderkooi , all the while drawing shockingly near to Mees as the contest reached its final circulation . Mees held on to finish the season - and potentially his career - on top in practically every sense , winning the season finale by 0.423 seconds over his young rival . Vanderkooi was third , with Robinson and Briar Bauman ( No . 3 Rick Ware Racing / KTM / Parts Plus KTM 790 Duke ) in fourth and fifth respectively . Mees ' résumé is far too extensive to list here in full , but in brief , the Lake

Ozark Raceway Short Track updates his Grand National Championship victory tally to now include 2009 , 2012 , 2014 , 2015 , 2017 , 2018 , 2021 , 2022 , 2023 and 2024 . He also ranks first or second in the career wins rankings for Half-Miles , Short Tracks , Miles and total GNC Main Event victories . Mees , who elevated an already Hallof-Fame-worthy career to stratospheric heights once he joined forces with Indian Motorcycle in 2017 , sent the marque ' s remarkable FTR750 out in appropriate fashion this season . Tonight ' s championship secures the bike a perfect eight-for-eight record in Grand National Championship battles in what will go down as one of the most dominant eras the sport has ever witnessed from both man and machine . In this final ever outing for the Indian FTR750 as the SuperTwins series goes production bikes only in 2025 , there were six riders on board the FTR platform in the Top
