P
rior to the Bridgeport Half-
Mile, Bridgeport Speedway
had not only never hosted
a Grand National Championship
round, it had never played witness
to a motorcycle race, full stop.
Progressive AFT rectified that
unfortunate situation by deliver
-
ing one of the most entertaining
Mission SuperTwins main events
in recent memory—and perhaps
one of the most important.
It's easy to look at the early ca
-
reer of Estenson Racing Yamaha's
Dallas Daniels and consider his
a charmed existence. In succes
-
sion seasons, he's gone from the
first-ever dual Nicky Hayden AMA
Horizon Award winner (2018)
to rookie Progressive AFT and
MotoAmerica support class race
winner (2019), to Parts Unlimited
AFT Singles Champion (2020), to
repeat Parts Unlimited AFT Singles
Champion (2021) to Mission
SuperTwins rookie phenom and
premier-class race winner (2022).
That non-stop rise continued
in 2023, where Daniels is now
attempting to secure a maiden
Grand National Championship
by assembling one of the most
impressive podium streaks the
series has ever seen.

SuperTwins points
lead with a big win
at the Bridgeport
Half-Mile.
