DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 14, 2022) – Progressive American Flat Track is proud to introduce Mechanix Wear, Inc. as the Official Work Glove of Progressive AFT for the 2022 season.

Now ubiquitous across numerous fields, Mechanix Wear gloves were born in motorsport. Debuting at the 1991 Daytona 500 more than 30 years ago, the brand has since established itself a global leader for mechanics, trade professionals, manufacturing, military and law enforcement tactical teams alike.

“The Original® glove was the brainchild of a legendary motocross mechanic, and two-wheel racing is at the core of who we are as a brand,” said Michael Hale, CEO of Mechanix Wear.  “We are excited to build upon our motorsports legacy with another great American racing series.”

Based in Valencia, California, Mechanix Wear’s reputation has been built upon its rigorous testing standards and industry-leading material technology. Anatomically designed and extraordinarily durable, Mechanix Wear gloves provide safety and comfort along with agility and control.

“Progressive AFT is proud to partner with Mechanix Wear, the gold standard in hand protection,” said Gene Crouch, COO of Progressive American Flat Track. “Mechanix Wear gloves were designed by legendary race mechanics and for decades they’ve been protecting the hands of the sport’s top tuners and crew members. We’re excited to officially welcome them to the Progressive AFT family of partners.”
