DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (December 6, 2023) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, is excited to confirm that this year’s Mission Texas Half-Mile will run in conjunction with the Goodguys 14th LMC Truck Spring Lone Star Nationals presented by TREMEC at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Mission Texas Half-Mile is scheduled for Saturday, April 27, right in the middle of the 14th LMC Truck Spring Lone Star Nationals presented by TREMEC, which will be staged at the sprawling Texas Motor Speedway complex from April 26-28.
Progressive AFT’s annual stops in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex traditionally boasts a celebratory atmosphere due to its close proximity to a number of the sport’s teams and sponsors. The LMC Truck Spring Lone Star Nationals only serves to further raise that bar.
