DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 7, 2022) – Progressive American Flat Track is pleased to announce that Thom Duma Fine Jewelers (TDFJ) will remain the Official Jeweler of Progressive AFT for a ninth consecutive season.

Once again in 2022, Tom Duma and his team of world-class jewelers will handcraft custom-designed championship rings commemorating the achievements of the class champions in the Mission SuperTwins presented by S&S Cycle, Mission Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines, and Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER. That unique honor will again follow the new standard set a year ago in which each solid gold masterpiece will feature the champion’s name and image along with the traditional #1 and array of diamonds.

“Tom Duma and TDFJ have been enthusiastic supporters of the sport for many years,” said Gene Crouch, COO of Progressive American Flat Track. “The championship rings are incredible works of art, which simply could not be designed and created with that level of passion and expertise if not for Duma’s deep love for the sport.”

Thom Duma Fine Jewelers traces its storied history back to the 1800s. That history became intrinsically linked with America’s Original Extreme Sport when Tom Duma Jr., embarked upon a professional flat track career from 1976 to 1981. Duma subsequently linked his two passions with the creation of the “Racer Series” line of motorsports-inspired jewelry, including teel shoe pendants, motorcycle tire Pandora-style beads, checkered flag racing jewelry, racing number pendants, and more.

"It is an honor to continue the tradition of designing and manufacturing the championship rings for all classes of Progressive AFT once again,” said Duma. “I look forward to the new tradition of presenting the class champions their rings next year at the first race of the 2023 season!"

The complete line is available for purchase online at www.TDFJ.com, or contact Duma personally via email at contact@tdfj.com.
