DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 27, 2025) - Raggio Racing, backed by Sluggo Racing & UnSettled Racing, is thrilled to announce it will compete for the 2025 AFT Singles presented by KICKER championship with Tyler Raggio aboard a KTM 450 SX-F. 

The same team/rider/machinery combination saw Raggio enjoy a breakthrough 2024 campaign in which he emerged as a fully-fledged frontrunner. The Lockeford, California, native entered last season seeking his first career top-ten result and with a best championship ranking of 19th to his name. He ended it with eight top-tens over the season’s final nine races – including a fourth-place run at the Black Hills Half-Mile – to secure sixth in the final AFT Singles championship order. 

Shawn and Clarissa Raggio, owners of Raggio Racing, lead their family’s flat track legacy with unwavering passion and commitment to the sport they love. The squad has been backed by Sluggo Racing, owned and operated by Michael and Anna Dobbs, dating back to Tyler’s amateur days. And they were joined by Greg Settle and UnSettled Racing, who came aboard the effort last season to play an integral role in the year’s highly successful campaign. 

Full of confidence and backed by familiar personnel and equipment, Raggio is primed to take another step forward in ‘25 and battle for podiums and race wins. 

Tyler Raggio (#55):   

“I’m excited to return with the team for a second straight season. There’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to better this program for 2025, and I’ve been putting in the work during the offseason. I’m ready to kick off the year in Daytona!" 

“I’m thrilled to have Sluggo Racing back on board for the 11th consecutive year of my career; this partnership has been a vital part of my journey as a racer, and I am grateful for their continued support. And I’m just as happy to have UnSettled Racing back for the 2025 season. Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with UnSettled Racing as a mentor, team manager, and mechanic. The team is made up of some really talented and promising racers, and it has been an honor to work alongside them.” 

Shawn and Clarissa Raggio, Team Owners of Raggio Racing:  

“Tyler’s relentless determination, speed, and unshakable drive have defined his career, and he’s more ready than ever to prove himself as a true frontrunner this season." 

“For us, racing is not just about competition – it’s about family, community, and heart. We’re profoundly grateful for the steadfast support and friendship of Michael and Anna Dobbs of Sluggo Racing, who have stood by us through every twist and turn of their journey. And we are equally excited for the continued support of UnSettled Racing, Holland Racing and ATVs and More as invaluable partners for the 2025 season.”

Micheal and Anna Dobbs, Owners of Sluggo Racing:  

“Supporting Raggio Racing has been a privilege. Our partnership with the Raggio family is a testament to the strong bonds within the racing community. For over two decades, we’ve shared this incredible journey, including ten years as Tyler’s dedicated sponsor. It’s been an honor to watch him grow into a phenomenal racer and an inspiring individual, embodying the passion and determination that make this sport so special.” 

Greg Settle, Owner of UnSettled Racing:  

“I'm honored to have Tyler piloting our 2025 ATVs and More KTM 450. He’s an incredibly dedicated and hard-working young man who spends a lot of his time helping several youth riders develop their skills and grow the sport. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, and he has earned the respect and admiration of many in the community."

“We have high expectations for Tyler coming into the season. We’re looking to build off of last year’s performance and be a threat for the AFT Singles championship. I'm confident that he will continue to demonstrate the same level of commitment and excellence that he has shown in the past.”
