oolbeth-Nila Racing signed
Sammy Halbert to pilot a
Coolbeth-Nila Indian FTR750 in
the 2020 AFT SuperTwin class.
"We are really excited to get
the season started," said Kenny
Coolbeth Jr. of Coolbeth-Nila
Racing. "We have made a lot
of major improvements to the
bikes, and combine that with
Sammy's drive to win, and I
feel like we will be up front and
contending for wins. Our team
owner John Wise has put a lot
into the program within the last
couple of months to make sure
that Sammy will be set up to be
a major contender in the Super-
Twins class."
Halbert has scored a victory
on each of the four types of AFT
tracks. With 13 career premier-
class victories to his name,
Halbert is excited and optimistic
about his transition to the multi-
championship-winning FTR750.
"I'm honored to have Kenny
Coolbeth choose me to ride
for him, especially after having
raced with him in the AFT series
since 2005," said Halbert.
"We've had a lot of great bat-
tles on the track over the years,
which makes it that much more
special to combine our efforts
and talents to take on the com-
petition. I'm excited to see what
I can do on a bike that's already
a proven winner. With the full
support of this team behind me,
and our growing list of partners
including Roof Systems of Dal-
las, Texas, I am looking forward
to great things this year." CN
