Charlotte and Coastal
Indian to Sponsor #12
Jay Maloney in 2019
AFT Twins
Indian Motorcycle Charlotte and
Coastal Indian of Myrtle Beach have
announced that they are the
presenting sponsors of Oakland, New
Jersey native's Jay Maloney 2019 AFT
Twins effort.
Indian Charlotte’s owners, Tim
Sutherland and Lloyd Greer, have a
long background in various forms of
racing, and when Jay’s team looked for
a key sponsor for the 2019 American
Flat Track Series, the sponsorship
opportunity made perfect sense for
both groups.
Jay’s #12 team raced an Indian
FTR750 in 2018 and finished 17th in
the standings. Now going into his 3rd
season racing the AFT Twins and his
second year riding an Indian FTR750,
he is poised to put himself on the
podium this year. Jay said: “I am
energized to have the support of
Indian Charlotte and Coastal Indian
this season, those guys are truly
winners and I find inspiration in their
support”.
Tim and Lloyd have high expectations
and look to continue their winning
ways as they expand their racing DNA
into the AFT Twins Series. Tim said: “Jay
is an up and coming rising star and we
are proud to share our background
and resources to help him take his
efforts to the next level in the AFT
Series.” Lloyd agreed and added: “Our
dealership near Charlotte has set the
bar very high with our in-house
ownership of Indian Motorcycle
Horsepower, and we are eager to add
our support to Jay’s efforts.

"We know how to make Indian
motorcycles perform and bring a lot to
the table. We are also keen on using

efforts to bring dependable
performance to our clients’ Indian
motorcycles as well”.
