T
here was an eerie sense of deja vu
when the Progressive American Flat
Track tour descended on Senoia
Raceway a couple of weeks after its Day-
tona double opener. Just as in 2023, Dal-
las Daniels stood atop the points follow-
ing a triumphant opening weekend. And
just as in 2023, reigning Grand National
Champion Jared Mees was in desperate
need of a big result after failing to reach
the podium (ending a historic 14-race
podium streak in the process).
A year ago, Mees responded with
a clutch victory following a back-and-
forth tilt with Daniels, a race that retro
-
actively encapsulated the epic Mission
SuperTwins title fight to come.
The script for the 2024 reboot implied
a similar outcome, but Daniels was
determined to break that pattern. And
pretty much all throughout Sunday (the
event was delayed a day due to inclem
-
ent weather), the Estenson Racing star
seemed to have the goods to make it
happen.
The SuperTwins
main event finally got
underway at the rain-
delayed Senoia Short
Track. Jared Mees (1)
ran off with the win.
