FLAT TRACK AMERICAN FLAT TRACK SERIES ROUND 3 / APRIL 29, 2018 TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY / FORT WORTH, TEXAS P76 Despite plenty of off- track drama, Jared Mees stays focused and wins in Texas Mees Stays Tough At Texas Half Mile BY DAVE HOENIG PHOTOGRAPHY BY FLAT TRAK FOTOS T he challenging Texas Motor Speedway produced many spectacu- lar crashes, a first-time winner in the AFT Pro Singles class, and a first-time podium finish in the AFT Pro Twins class. Nevertheless, when the night ended, the rider that had taken the checkered flag first in the first two rounds once again topped the 25-lap main event. Defending Grand National Champion, Jared Mees (Indian Motorcy- cle/Rogers Racing, Indian Scout FTR750) took the lead on lap five and was never seriously challenged the rest of the way.
