DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (February 3, 2023) — Craton, Inc. has been named the new Official Event Merchandise Vendor for Progressive American Flat Track (AFT), which is widely recognized as the most prestigious and competitive form of dirt track motorcycle racing in the world. Craton, a growing merchandise, apparel, promotion and events corporation based in the greater Atlanta area, will have on-site retail locations at each of the 16 event weekends on the 2023 Progressive AFT calendar.

“Everything we do ultimately comes down to providing the most exciting, entertaining and memorable product possible for our fans,” said Gene Crouch, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. “Expanding and elevating our merchandise offerings certainly speaks to those aims, and no one is more capable of making that a reality than Craton. With decades of experience, Craton has really taken their game to another level since dedicating themselves to the motorsports world. We are looking forward to the new partnership."

Craton’s partnership with Progressive AFT is a milestone addition to a solid group of other major motorsports events and governing organizations that have called on Craton for their merchandise needs. The Progressive AFT relationship stands out, however, as Craton's first partnership with a leading motorcycle racing series.
