FLAT TRACK 2017 AMERICAN FLAT TRACK CHAMPIONSHP ROUND 15 / SEPTEMBER 2-3, 2017 ILLINOIS STATE FAIRGROUNDS / SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS P86 held second, but Dan Bromley (Big Momma & Daddy Deep Pockets Racing/Bromley Motor- sports, KTM) put a big move on both riders going into turn one and came away with a lead he would never relinquish. "I was able to use the line I found in the semi to pass both Morgan and Steven in turn one and was able to take the lead. After I got the lead, the track kept changing lap after lap," said Bromley. "I could hear that Morgan was right on my rear tire. I just knew I had to be consis- tent and keep a tight line out of turn two and four. By doing that I was able to get the win. It really feels good to be able to win the AFT SINGLES A small banked oval was inserted into the multi-purpose arena at the Illinois State Fairgrounds and was the site of round 15 of the American Flat Track series. With the 450cc AFT Singles not run- ning on the mile track, the short track was added to the schedule and run on Saturday. Heats and semis pared the full field of AFT Singles riders down to the fastest 18 riders for the 15- lap main e vent. Steven Sandoval (R&R Racing/Country Saloon, Honda) had won the fastest semi and got the holeshot in the main and led the first lap. Morgen Mis- chler (Mischler's Harley-Davidson & BMW/Steelhorse Law, Honda) (Above) Dan Bromley (162) only has five races under his belt this year but now one of them is a win. He topped Saturday's short track main. (Below) Morgen Mischler (69) landed second place in the Singles main.
