VOL. 55 ISSUE 10 MARCH 13, 2018 P43 CARVER, STOLLINGS LAND ROOF SYSTEMS SPONSORSHIP J effrey Carver Jr. and Kevin Stollings Jr. announced that Roof Systems will be their title sponsors for the 2018 American Flat Track AFT season. As for Carver, Roof Systems comes on board in addition with Ben Evans Racing. The team has also received additional support from Indian of Metro Milwaukee and will feature the Indian FTR750 (with the option to run last year's bikes) in its battle against the factory squads for the 2018 American Flat Track premier-class title. "He reminds me of the '70s, that era, that type of flat track racer," said Roof Systems owner Jerry Stinchfield of Carver. "He's got this grittiness. He's got this attitude: 'this is who I am, if you don't like me, tough.' He's just good people. Also, he's really truly coming into his own. I've been watching him for a long time and I think this year is the year for Jeffrey Carver. We're aiming for the champi- onship. I think we're going to win some races, just like he put a whooping on them last year in Texas." Roof Systems will be Stollings' title sponsor for this year's AFT Singles Championship. Since his debut in the series in 2016, Stollings is considered as one of the sport's rising stars. The 18-year-old built on his debut season of five podium finishes with two wins in 2017 and six podium finishes. He finished both seasons fifth in the points standings with a small, family-run privateer effort and heads into 2018 with his eyes set on the AFT Singles title and extra support from Roof Systems owner Jerry Stinchfield Jr. In addition to going after the AFT Singles Championship, Stollings will be using a provi- sional to race both Springfield Miles aboard the Stollings Racing Indian Scout FTR750, and looks forward to making his first-ever AFT twins main event.
