The three-week summer break between American Flat Track rounds did nothing to cool off the red hot Jared Mees. He ultimately cruised to a 3.571-second margin of victory, sailing by the checkered flag in a one-handed wheelie. The three-time Grand National Champion now boasts an 18-point championship advantage and has clearly turned the tide of momentum in his favor with four wins in his last five outings.
After his blowout victory on Saturday July 29, Mees said, “It was a great night. It was a little hectic in the last qualifier, and in the Heat race I was off the pace. We came back and rethought things. I have such a good team and they work so hard. We gel really well together and when we’re down, we have a lot of tools in the toolbox with this Indian Scout FTR750 to make changes.” Second place went to Sammy Halbert (No. 69 Estenson Logistics Yamaha FZ-07) in convincing fashion, coming on the heels of his vastly impressive X Games gold medal performance a couple weeks back.
Factory Harley-Davidson riders Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track Team XG750R), Kenny Coolbeth, Jr. (No. 2 Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track Team XG750R), and Jake Johnson (No. 5 Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track Team XG750R) all made their way to the Main at Calistoga, finishing ninth, 12th, and 15th, respectively.
Make more dust than you collect!
Restrictor plates not far behind, I’d bet.
any team would be fast when you pull the three fastest riders from different teams.
Except the Indian HD’s. They are slow w/ fast riders. 😀
I love this sport … great to see healthy brand competition fueling it … I still maintain that in the end it is more the rider than the bike …

Whether it’s building the most competitive bikes or the luring best riders, or having the best tuners and support teams, (or most likely, a combination of all the above), you have to respect and admire Indian’s commitment to the sport.
They’re not just dabbling…….
Congrats Indian, you clearly deserve it.
Go Indian!
Indian! The American bike of the future!
That’s funny^^^^^^^^^^^
The 111 falls on its face after roll ons 80 mph runs as hot as a twin cam and but ugly with no support nationwide good luck with your fake indians they should have put money into victory 10 times better bike
