AFT To Join NASCAR In Charlotte
A
merican Flat Track recently
announced that the 2020
Charlotte Half-Mile doubleheader
races will run Friday, October 9,
and Saturday, October 10, on the
same weekend as the NASCAR
Cup Series Bank of America
Roval 400 at Charlotte Motor
Speeday (CMS). This will be the
first time in history these two his-
toric motorsports will run races
in the same market, at the same
venue, on the same weekend.
On Friday and Saturday at
CMS's The Dirt Track at Char-
lotte, the athletes in all three
classes of AFT will spend two
nights vying for a spot in the AFT
Championship hunt. The week-
end's action will culminate on
Sunday with NASCAR's premier
class on the CMS road course.
"American Flat Track and
NASCAR are the two most
American and most iconic of all
motorsports so we are delighted
to be partnering with the team
at Charlotte Motor Speedway
to bring race fans this unprec-
edented and unique weekend
of two and four-wheeled rac-
ing," said Michael Lock, CEO
of American Flat Track. "The
Dirt Track at Charlotte is one of
the favorite destinations for our
teams and riders as the facilities
are outstanding and the famous
Charlotte red clay makes for
high-speed thrills all evening."
"At Charlotte Motor Speedway,
we pride ourselves on hosting
world-class race events and bring-
ing out the very best entertainment
for the fans," said Charlotte Motor
Speedway Executive Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager Greg
Walter. "With the addition of the
back-to-back days of American
Flat Track to an already action-
packed Bank of America Roval
400 weekend, we're looking for-
ward to delivering on that promise
in October and showing fans of
both series why we're known as
America's Home for Racing."
Tickets will be available for pur-
chase in the coming weeks. CN
This year's AFT
