Bromley Honored
T
he AMA's Amateur Athlete of
the Year Award, which recog-
nizes the top amateur competi-
tors in AMA amateur national
championship competition each
year, has been renamed in honor
of Dan Bromley, who won the
award in 2011 before going pro
in AMA Grand National Champi
-
onship competition.
Bromley, who earned the
American Flat Track 2018
Singles and 2025 Adventure-
Trackers championships as
a professional racer, died on
Saturday, June 27, in Lima, Ohio,
in a racing incident.
"AMA amateur racing rep
-
resents the grassroots of the
sport," said AMA President and
CEO Rob Dingman. "It's where
memories are made, friendships
form, family bonds strengthen
and future professional racers
develop. Dan Bromley, along
with the entire Bromley family,
epitomizes all those aspirations,
and he did so with a humility and
excellence rarely matched. It is
my great honor to announce that
Dan's accomplishments will be
forever memorialized in the Dan
Bromley AMA Amateur Athlete
of the Year Award."
"As arguably the AMA's most
prolific amateur champion, well-
educated and with a strong work
ethic and level head, Dan was a
much-welcomed addition to the
AMA Racing Department," said
AMA Chief Operating Officer
James Holter. "Dan was poised
to help lead AMA racing initia
-
tives well into the future, and
all of us at the AMA, who knew
Dan as not just a colleague but
a friend, are heartbroken over
this tragic loss. Through the Dan
Bromley AMA Amateur Athlete
of the Year Award, future genera
-
tions of racers will be inspired by
Dan's heart, integrity and indel-
ible dedication to win."
