FLAT TRACK AMERICAN FLAT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3/APRIL 21, 2019 TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY/FORT WORTH, TEXAS P52 Dalton Gauthier (D&D Cycles/ Gobert Smash, Husqvarna FC450) held off Janisch for fifth. Rispoli, Avery, defending class champion Dan Bromley and Michael Inderb- itzin filled out the top 10. AFT PRODUCTION TWINS American Flat Track unveiled its newest class, the AFT Production Twins class. The class is open to all AFT Twins licensed riders, and all AFT Singles licensed competi- tors who have reached the age of 18 years and have participated in Fellow California rider, 16-year- old James Ott (who was riding his first AFT Pro Singles event) had climbed all the way from 14th on lap one to an impressive third place and challenging for second. Texter was able to pull out the win by a scant .129 of a sec- ond over Rush (RMR Honda/ Red Rider Rewards, Honda CRF450R) with Ott just a breath back. Last year's Fort Worth win- ner, Mischler (Waters Autobody Racing/D&D Powersports, KTM 450 SX-F) was less than a sec- ond off the lead in fourth. AFT Pro Singles points leader, Tristan Avery, Mikey Rush, Morgen Mischler and James Rispoli were all looking to make a move. Rush was the first to get by, but the crowd was roaring as Shayna Texter was slicing her way to the front from deep in the field. She made short work of her competition and was in the lead by lap six of the 15-lap race. For as fast as Texter had come to the front, once there, she was unable to shake Rush, and he kept close enough to make a late race challenge. However, Rush discovered he was not alone. Shayna Texter (52) edged out Mikey Rush (15) for the AFT Singles win.
