The gifted Trevor Brunner ranks as one of the brightest prospects the world of dirt track has to offer.
A first-generation racer, Brunner has been competing on two wheels since the age of three. Not satisfied with his performance at the 2018 AMA Flat Track Grand Championship, Brunner refocused, altering his diet and training with hopes of ending his amateur career in ideal fashion in 2019. It worked… Brunner walked away with four AMA #1 plates and was named 2019 AMA Nicky Hayden Horizon Award Winner and 2019 AMA Athlete of the Year.
The Aurora, Indiana, native made his professional debut in 2020, where his stock continued to rise in stratospheric fashion. He ended his rookie AFT Singles season ranked seventh with a stunning Springfield ST victory serving as an exclamation point.
He backed that up with an even better sophomore campaign, sweeping the Sacramento Mile doubleheader en route to an eventual fifth-place championship ranking.
Brunner continued his ascent in 2022 and 2023 after joining the Estenson Racing outfit to fill the slot left by the graduating Dallas Daniels. Following an unsteady start, Brunner got comfortable in his new role and went on to claim four victories and 11 podiums with the team, while finishing fourth in the standings in ‘22 and third in ‘23.
He graduated to Mission AFT SuperTwins duty in ‘24, where he impressed by winning Rookie of the Year honors while claiming a top-five Main Event finish.
Despite that promising premier-class debut, Brunner was recruited to return to 450cc competition by the American Honda-based Turner Racing outfit in search of an AFT Singles title in 2025.
