J.R. Addison’s Progressive American Flat Track career has been the result of rare natural aptitude meeting relentless, gritty attitude. The Ohioan advanced to the pro ranks with high expectations due to his glittering amateur career that included both the AMA Youth Dirt Tracker of the Year Award and the AMA Dirt Track Horizon Award. He more than lived up to his advance billing, closing out his rookie Parts Unlimited AFT Singles campaign in 2013 with a pair of victories while still just 16 years old. Addison missed the bulk of the following season after breaking his back in a crash at the Springfield Mile. He returned late in the season in spectacular fashion, winning at Colonial Downs in his first race back. Addison added another Parts Unlimited AFT Singles victory in 2015, before advancing to the Mission SuperTwins ranks in 2016. That season he took four top tens en route to being named Progressive AFT Rookie of the Year. His career momentum stalled in 2017 and 2018, so Addison reset by focusing on the Mission Production Twins championship in 2019. There he scored six top tens, including back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Black Hills Half-Mile and Sacramento Mile. That promising return to form took another tragic turn, however, as Addison suffered serious injuries in a crash at the Minnesota Mile and faces a long road to recovery.
