Now boasting 264 points to
Saathoff's 216, Drane will be
free to go for history in search
of a record-breaking ninth (and
possibly 10th) win in Springfield.
And perhaps even give the flat
track world another preview of
his premier-class potential with a
Mission AFT SuperTwins wild-
card entry.
Dan Bromley AFT
ProSport 450
Invitational>>
Depending on how you look at
it, Estenson Racing Yamaha
again looked to the other side of
the planet, or stayed within the
family, to complete their Peoria
TT sweep.
Drane's younger brother, Sam
Drane, was in control all day long
in the Dan Bromley AFT ProSport
450 Invitational, an addition to
the 2026 calendar organized to
pay tribute to the beloved ama
-
teur and professional flat track
champion who tragically died in
competition earlier this season.
Drane's dominance wasn't due
to a lack of worthy challengers.
The vast majority of the top ama
-
teurs who had starred throughout
the AFT ProSport 450 season
were in attendance; Drane simply
had their number on this day, top-
ping practice, both qualifying ses-
sions, and his heat race before
disappearing at the front of the
main event.
Fellow Australian Jake Paige
put the Paige Racing GasGas MC
450F in second following an en
-
tertaining scrap with third-placed
Adam Costan-Wood on the Turner
Racing Honda CRF450F.
