AFT SuperTwins: Three-Way Battle Heats Up at Silver Dollar

The 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season is reaching a critical point as it heads to Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California, this Saturday, May 2. The Mission AFT SuperTwins title race is shaping up to be a thrilling three-way battle, with rookie Kody Kopp currently holding the points lead.

Kopp, riding for Latus Motors Racing, has had an exceptional start to his SuperTwins career, consistently finishing on the podium and never placing worse than second. His early success suggests a potential redefinition of rookie performance in the series.

Chasing Kopp are two formidable competitors: reigning champion Dallas Daniels from Estenson Racing and two-time Grand National Champion Briar Bauman of RWR/Jacob Construction. These three riders have collectively claimed all four Main Event victories and ten of twelve possible podium spots so far this season, highlighting their dominance.

Bauman, who recently secured his 35th premier-class victory, holds significant momentum and a strong history at Silver Dollar Speedway, having swept both Ventura and Chico events last year. Despite being third in points, he is known for his ability to string together wins and close gaps. Daniels, the defending champion, is also a consistent threat, ensuring that each race offers a chance for the championship trajectory to shift. This intense competition makes every round, including this weekend's event, a must-watch for flat track enthusiasts.
