DAYTONA BEACH, FL – May 14, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, announced today that Parts Unlimited has been named the official entitlement sponsor of ThrottleFest, while Drag Specialties has been named the official entitlement sponsor of the DuQuoin Mile presented by Parts Unlimited for the 2026 season.

One of the most influential names in powersports, Parts Unlimited is the world’s largest distributor of aftermarket accessories in the industry and a longtime supporter of dealers, riders, racers and events across the motorcycle community. Drag Specialties, a leading name in the V-Twin market, brings its own strong dealer network, enthusiast following and deep connection to American motorcycle culture to one of the sport’s premier Mile events.

As part of the partnership, the events will carry their respective names as Parts Unlimited ThrottleFest presented by Carter CAT and the Drag Specialties DuQuoin Mile presented by Parts Unlimited, placing two of the most recognizable brands in powersports at the center of two distinct Progressive AFT showcases.

Parts Unlimited ThrottleFest presented by Carter CAT will bring Progressive American Flat Track to Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland, as part of a four-day motorsports festival set for May 14-17. Highlighted by Round 6 of the 2026 Progressive AFT season on Saturday, May 16, the event will combine professional flat track racing with a full weekend of motorcycle competition, fan activities, live entertainment, food, vendors, camping and special events.

The Drag Specialties DuQuoin Mile presented by Parts Unlimited is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, at Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Illinois, putting one of flat track’s classic Mile events squarely on Independence Day weekend. The holiday date elevates DuQuoin as a destination event, pairing high-speed Mile racing with summer tradition and Fourth of July energy in Southern Illinois.

The expanded partnership gives Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties prominent placement across a full-scale festival weekend in the Mid-Atlantic and a holiday weekend Mile at one of the championship’s classic venues, further strengthening their presence throughout the Progressive AFT paddock and fanbase.
