Thom Duma Fine Jewelers Named Official Jeweler of Progressive AFT For 11th Consecutive Season
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 22, 2024) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, is pleased to confirm that Thom Duma Fine Jewelers (TDFJ) is back as the series’ Official Jeweler for an eleventh consecutive season in 2024.
TDJF’s ties to the sport reach much farther back than even that impressive run, with owner Tom Duma Jr. a long-time veteran of the paddock. Duma stood as a Progressive AFT racer from 1976 to 1981, before learning the family business from his father, Tom Duma, Sr., and ultimately taking over TDFJ himself.
Thom Duma Fine Jewelers enjoys a storied history, tracing its origins back to the 1800s before being acquired by the Dumas almost three-quarters of a century ago. Since partnering with Progressive AFT in an official capacity, Tom Duma, Jr., has seamlessly connected his two passions, establishing the now-cherished tradition of awarding each season’s champions with a one-of-a-kind and fully customized handcrafted ring to properly commemorate their incredible achievement.
“Having campaigned full time in the series back in the 70s & 80s I know how much effort it takes to put together a championship season, and what better way to commemorate that effort than with a customized championship ring,” said Duma. “I’m honored to be able to work with the Champions to make a ring worthy of the title!”
Thom Duma Fine Jewelers’ unique ties that connect racing and jewelry are not reserved for Progressive AFT champions alone. For fans, TDFJ offers a full line of top jewelry designers in fashion and bridal. Diamonds sourced from around the world and fine Swiss timepieces. TDFJ offers the “Racer Series,” a line of race-inspired jewelry, including hot shoe pendants in precious metal, customized racing number pendants that match the racers font, and much more.
The complete line is available for purchase online at www.TDFJ.com, and you can contact Duma personally via email at [email protected].
Reigning champions Jared Mees and Kody Kopp will be awarded their championship rings in a special ceremony when the 2024 Progressive American Flat Track season opens with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA on Thursday, March 7 and Friday, March 8.
