BY CHRIS MARTIN PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS HULTNER S ix races into the 17-race Progressive American Flat Track schedule, the Mis- sion SuperTwins Grand National Championship fight has revealed its shape—and an intriguing one at that. With three Half-Miles, a TT, and most recently the twin OKC Miles at Oklahoma City's Remington Park completed, 2021 appears primed to be an epic three-way battle for supremacy. Following five consecutive seasons of combined dominance, Indian Wrecking Crewmen Briar Bauman and Jared Mees were widely expected to square off for the crown again this season. And while that has proven to be the case, the two have been joined in that struggle by Mission Roof Sys- tems ace Brandon Robinson. Robinson may be the least well- rounded of the three, but at least thus far in '21, he also demonstrat- ed the most explosive speed in the paddock—a speed fueled by edgy desperation All weekend long at Reming- ton Park, a deep, dusty cushion and its resultant brutal roost saw sideways machines spectacularly protest at pace with dirt-plastered riders doing all they could to cling on and keep the throttle pinned at the same time.
