Fastrack Racing will field Bronson Bauman aboard the KTM 890 Duke-based race bike in the Mission SuperTwins class for the upcoming Progressive American Flat Track season.
Owned by Arney and Amy Wick, Fastrack Racing has worked in tight collaboration with Latus Motors Racing in recent seasons, contributing to both James Rispoli’s 2020 Mission Production Twins championship and Kody Kopp’s 2021 rookie-of-the-year campaign.
Fastrack Racing now steps up to front its own premier-class squad with one of the category’s leading stars — Bauman.
“To be honest, this is one of the most exciting seasons in years. I am surrounded by people who truly believe in me and my capabilities and only want success for me and the team,” Bauman said. “I got to work with Arney, Amy and Matt during the ’22 season so we all are very familiar with one another and know how each other operates. Everyone involved is aware it will be a bit of a learning curve with these bikes, but we are up for the challenge.”
During his career, Bronson has twice ranked inside the Mission SuperTwins championship top five, including a breakout third-place campaign in 2019 in which he scored his maiden victory at the Laconia Short Track. In all, the native Californian has tallied up nine premier-class podiums, the most recent coming last season with Latus Motors Racing and Fastrack Racing.
Matt Krsul will serve as crew chief while Dave Bush will work as technical support.
“The opportunity to be involved with setting up the new KTM race bikes and to work with a top shelf rider like Bronson is exciting. I have been fortunate to be involved in the motorcycle world my entire life and the flat track community is one of the best parts of the motorcycle world,” Krsul said. “Challenges are many, but with the dedication of the team and support staff we have assembled that seems to grow daily, we will achieve great results.”
