ROUND 4 / APRIL 25, 2026 VENTURA RACEWAY / VENTURA, CALIFORNIA FLAT TRACK I AMA PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN FLAT TRACK P106 of the season, and the part-timer immediately proved he's still got the goods with a fourth-place ride aboard a Dick Ford Racing- backed Yamaha MT-07. He was followed by Fisher's Rackley Racing KTM teammate, Ben Lowe, who came out on top of the aforementioned tussle for fifth, crossing the line ahead of FRA Trust Advisors Harley's Aidan RoosEvans and Turner Racing Honda's Trent Lowe. Schaffers MotorSports KTM's Logan McGrane, Weirbach Rac - ing Kawasaki's Jacob Lehmann, and Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield's Evan Renshaw rounded out the top 10. AFT Singles A similar redemption arc played out in Kicker AFT Singles action. One year ago, home-state hero Kage Tadman made among the most memorable series debuts in series history with a stunning But luck was on his side, as Rackley Racing KTM's Davis Fisher, who battled hard with Daniels before eking out an advantage, saw his race end with a mechanical issue with less than a minute remaining on the clock. "I pride myself on consisten - cy," Daniels said, "but I definitely got a little bit of luck there. Da- vis and I were going back and forth. He put a bit of a move on me, and it revved me up a little bit, and I kind of lost a little bit of ground. I just didn't have it tonight. I just didn't have that extra little bit those guys in front of me had. Briar is tough on this track. He's won here the last three years. And Kody is a good Short Track guy as well. And I think I am too, but sometimes you ain't got it, and it wasn't for lack of effort." Bauman's little brother, Bron - son, made his first appearance Despite coming home second, the performance only further cemented Kopp's standing as a legitimate title threat. Guided by the experienced hands of Bauman's former crew, Dave Zanotti and Michelle Disalvo, Kopp's seamless transition to premier-class stardom has been remarkable. Now four races into his Mission AFT SuperTwins career, only two riders, Bauman and reigning champion Dallas Daniels, have managed to finish in front of him, and even then, only one time apiece. As a result, Kopp extended his early-season title lead to seven points (84-77) over Daniels. It was nearly stretched out a bit more than that. The Es - tenson Racing Yamaha runner seemed destined to finish off the podium, something he hasn't done without being taken out in more than two seasons. Kage Tadman (28) and Tom Drane (1) had a great battle for the Singles win, which went to Tadman by just .034 of a second.
