Jared Mees
With each additional Main Event victory and Grand National Championship triumph, reigning Mission SuperTwins king Jared Mees continues to rewrite the Progressive American Flat Track record books. Already recognized as a bonafide series superstar with multiple Grand National Championships to his name prior to the 2017 season, Mees has since elevated his game to new heights.
Starting in ‘17, Mees kicked off a borderline ridiculous multi-year tear with Indian Motorcycle in which he cemented his status among the sport’s all-time greats. From ‘17-’23, the Pennsylvanian registered an astonishing 52 victories and five additional Grand National Champions while proving nearly unbeatable for extended stretches.
Before he raised the bar, Mees earned most of his accolades due to his Half-Mile expertise, where he now stands as the discipline’s all-time winningest rider. However, he has since shown himself to be a threat to win on any type of racetrack and any given weekend. He’s a Grand Slam winner twice over, accomplishing the feat over the course of a single season in both 2017 and 2018.
Perhaps most notable of all is Mees’ enhanced ability at the Mile venues, where he’s racked up a combined 24 Mile wins from ‘17-’23.
Mees is both admired and feared for his tenacity, fitness, and determination. There are no holes in his game, and he has a confidence and swagger that makes him an intimidating presence on track. He’s also a family man and aspiring businessman, serving as the event promoter of the Lima Half-Mile with his wife Nichole.
The legendary rider now has his sights set on earning an unprecedented tenth Grand National Championship in 2024 after tying the once-considered-unmatchable nine set previously by Scott Parker.
