otorcycle racing returned to the
fabled Indiana State Fair-
grounds mile oval for the
first time since 2015, as Ameri-
can Flat Track made a last-
minute addition to their 2020
schedule. Due to health con-
cerns and local regulations a 20%
capacity limit was placed on the
fans, but the AFT stars were finally
back in action for a Friday-Saturday
doubleheader.
The AFT SuperTwins class found
Factory Indian teammates Jared
Mees (Indian Motorcycles/Progres-
sive Insurance, Indian FTR750) and
defending class Champion Briar Bau-
man (Indian Motorcycles/Progressive
Insurance, Indian FTR750) picking up
their battle where they left off over a month
ago in Florida.
Coming off a dominating season on mile tracks
in 2019 and sweeping both half mile races in July,
Briar Bauman is
the new points
leader after
winning both
Indy Miles.
