At a dramatic Progressive AFT Finale at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ( Concord , N . C ., October 9th ), Jared Mees ' second place in the SuperTwins Main Event ( Briar Bauman having crashed out ) was enough to secure him a sixth Grand National Championship title .

Mission SuperTwins presented by S & S Cycle In the race itself , the two time and defending Champion Briar Bauman ( No . 1 Indian Motorcycle / Progressive Insurance FTR750 ) was in the hunt for a third consecutive title , but the spectacular consequences of clipping a hay bale saw him and Sammy Halbert ( No . 69 Coolbeth-Nila Racing Indian FTR750 ) out of the race . Bauman did try to go again with his reserve bike , but to no avail . From the forced restart , Mees ( No . 9 Indian Motorcycle / Progressive Insurance FTR750 ) eventually found himself locked in a final lap tussle with JD Beach ( No . 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ) which Davis Fisher ( No . 67 BMC Racing / Dick Wall 60 Indian FTR750 ) exploited to claim his maiden premier class victory , stealing the win from Mees by 0.114 seconds , with Beach third . The race completed a two-year climb back to the pinnacle of Flat Track racing for Mees , who last won the title in 2018 and further added to his 2012 , ' 14 , ' 15 and ' 17 wins for a career tally of six premier Flat Track class titles so far ; plus having the 2009 and 2011 GNC1 Twins Championships and the 2012 GNC1 Singles Championship to his name . After the race Mees said : " I hand it to Briar [ Bauman ]. He ’ s definitely one of the toughest competitors - if not the toughest competitor - I ’ ve ever dealt with ." Jarod Vanderkooi ( No . 20 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 ) took fourth , with Brandon Robinson ( No . 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 ) completing the top five .

Mees took the title by 15 points from Bauman , with Brandon Robinson third , Jarod Vanderkooi fourth and JD Beach fifth .

AFT Singles Despite finishing the race in sixth , Dallas Daniels ( No . 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F ) secured a second consecutive title to become the firstever back-to-back champion in the class . His 20-point Championship gap ahead second ranked Max Whale ( No . 18 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-FFE ) meant that the only way he would relinquish his # 1 plate was if Whale won and Daniels finished lower than 13th . Whale did win , but Daniels did enough , having cautiously stayed clear of the fray in the early rounds . Kody Kopp ( No . 143 Smartop / Jones Honda / Latus Motors CRF450R ) was second , Trent Lowe ( No . 48 WBR / Suzuki Motor of America RM- Z450 ) pulled off a spectacular late strike to ace Honda teammates Cole Zabala ( No . 51 American Honda / Progressive Insurance CRF450R ) for third , with Trevor Brunner ( No . 21 American Honda / Progressive Insurance CRF450R ) fifth .

AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines The late-season transition of Jesse Janisch ( No . 96 Vance & Hines Harley- Davidson XG750R ) from the couch to AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines podium contention ended on the top step of the box . Once regarded primarily as a 450 cc TT ace , Janisch proved he more than

belonged on a twin after being drafted to sub for the injured Dalton Gauthier ( No . 79 D & D Cycles / Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XG750R ). With finishes of second , third and fourth to his name in limited duty , Janisch put the cherry on top with a narrow victory in the finale over Ben Lowe ( No . 25 Vance & Hines / Mission Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R ). With the class crown already decided in favor of Cory Texter ( No . 65 G & G Racing / Yamaha Racing MT-07 ), Chad Cose ( No . 49 Vance & Hines / Ranger / Roof Systems Harley- Davidson XG750R ) and Dan Bromley ( No . 62 Memphis Shades / Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07 ) came into Charlotte set to decide the championship runner-up between them . Cose was the race ’ s early leader and Bromley joined Cose , Janisch and Lowe in a mid-race tilt for first place . Cose ultimately faded to seventh while Bromley rounded out the podium , but the differential still wasn ’ t quite enough for Bromley to catch Cose for runner-up honors . Johnny Lewis ( No . 10 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield Twins FT ) hustled the Royal Enfield to fourth . Meanwhile , class champ Texter added one final top five to a championshipwinning season that tallied up seven wins , 11 podiums and 13 top-five spots in 16 races .
