2023 Mission Foods AMA Flat Track
Grand Championship Schedule
T
he AMA revealed the tentative
racing schedule for the 2023
Mission Foods AMA Flat Track
Grand Championship, which
runs June 14-20, 2023, at the Du
Quoin State Fairgrounds in Du
Quoin, Illinois.
Amateur TT racing will kick off
the event Wednesday, June 14,
with the weeklong schedule of
competition concluding Tuesday,
June 20, with Youth Short Track
competition.
The AMA promotes and oper-
ates what's been, for decades,
the most prestigious amateur
flat track event in the country—
and the only race in the United
States where you can earn an
AMA National number-one plate
in amateur flat track racing. The
annual event hosts different age
groups and classes across four
flat-track disciplines: Short Track,
TT, Mile and Half-Mile.
"The AMA looks forward to
hosting our flat-track racing
members at this event, and we
are excited to welcome Mission
Foods back as our title sponsor
for the second straight year,"
said AMA Track Racing Manager
Ken Saillant. "The 2023 event is
set to be better than ever, with
a week of action-packed racing
and outstanding performances
from many promising riders."
Additionally, American Flat
Track (AFT) is set to join the AMA
at Du Quoin on Saturday, June 17,
with a Grand National Mile event
featuring the professional stars of
the sport on Du Quoin's legend-
ary "Magic Mile"—home to many
famous races over the decades.
Following the weeklong event,
multiple AMA number-one plates
will be awarded. The Nicky
Hayden AMA Flat Track Horizon
Award—given to the most promis-
ing amateur rider on the cusp of
a professional career—will be an-
nounced along with the Vet/Se-
nior Racer of the Year and Youth
Racer of the Year awards.
Pre-registration for the event
will begin soon, so stay tuned to
AMA announcements on Ameri-
canMotorcyclist.com and the
AMA's social media channels for
further information.
