Estenson Racing Delivers Strong Performances Across Flat Track, Road Racing, and Supercross

From the tight clay of Georgia’s short tracks to the sweeping corners of Circuit of The Americas, and the roaring stadium lights of Supercross, Estenson Racing is proving it can compete—and win—on every surface. This past month has showcased the team’s incredible depth, with key performances from Dallas Daniels, Tom Drane, Sam Drane, and Jerry Robin across three top-level motorcycle racing series.


Daniels Extends His Legacy with Another Podium at Senoia

Estenson Racing’s Dallas Daniels continues to set the standard in Mission AFT SuperTwins, securing a third-place finish in a tightly contested Main Event at the Yamaha Senoia Short Track in Georgia. Though he narrowly missed disrupting a Harley-Davidson 1-2 sweep, Daniels was right in the mix from flag to flag, crossing the line just 0.028 seconds behind second place.

The performance wasn’t just another solid result—it was his 16th straight podium finish, extending his record-setting streak and reinforcing his position as one of the most consistent and skilled riders in the championship. More importantly, Daniels maintains the early-season points lead, holding off fierce competition in what’s shaping up to be a dramatic title race.

What stood out in Senoia wasn’t just Daniels’ raw speed but his racecraft. As chaos unfolded at the front with surprise lead changes and unexpected surges from rivals, Daniels stayed calm, calculated, and focused. His ability to read the race and find opportunities—even in traffic-heavy, technical conditions—was a masterclass in poise and performance.

As the season continues, Daniels is not just chasing wins—he’s chasing history. And with Estenson Racing behind him, he has the machinery and mindset to stay out front.


Tom Drane Continues His AFT Singles Dominance with Record Podium Run

In the AFT Singles class, Tom Drane once again put on a display of grit and maturity far beyond his years. The Australian rider battled wheel-to-wheel with longtime rival Chase Saathoff in one of the most anticipated matchups of the weekend. The two swapped lines and traded inches throughout the race, with Drane ultimately finishing a close second.

But the story here isn’t just about Senoia—it’s about momentum and history. Drane’s second-place finish marked his ninth consecutive podium, a new record in the AFT Singles division. That level of consistency in such a competitive class is a testament to both his skill and Estenson Racing’s well-prepped Yamaha YZ450F platform.

Drane now holds the championship lead, and it’s becoming clear that he’s no longer just a future star—he’s a present-day title threat. His style is smooth but aggressive, calculated but fearless. Whether he’s riding high lines or cutting inside for a block pass, Drane adapts quickly to race dynamics, which has made him nearly impossible to shake off the podium.

As we head into the heart of the season, all eyes are on Tom Drane. If he keeps this level of form, a championship trophy may not be far off.


Sam Drane Impresses in MotoAmerica Talent Cup Debut

Meanwhile, younger brother Sam Drane is making waves of his own—this time on the road racing stage. Competing in the opening round of the MotoAmerica Talent Cup at Circuit of The Americas, Sam delivered two back-to-back third-place finishes, marking a hugely successful debut on one of the most challenging road courses in the country.

Riding for Estenson Racing as part of a Yamaha development collaboration, Sam showed poise, patience, and serious pace all weekend. In Race One, he locked into a tight battle for the podium, ultimately edging out rivals with a late-race push that showed off his race IQ. In Race Two, he made strategic adjustments to his riding position and throttle control—an impressive feat for such a young rider—which helped him maintain another top-three finish despite increasing pressure from the field.

These results place Sam third in the overall standings after just one round, trailing only two veterans of the Talent Cup. More importantly, they signal that he’s ready to climb the ranks quickly. Between the support from Estenson Racing and his own natural talent, Sam Drane is setting himself up as one of the most exciting young prospects in American road racing.

With the season just getting started, it’s clear that the younger Drane is one to watch—not just because of his name, but because of the results he’s already delivering.


Jerry Robin Makes Supercross Strides with Career-Best Finish in Birmingham

Rounding out Estenson Racing’s all-surface surge is Jerry Robin, who delivered a breakthrough performance at the Birmingham Supercross round in the 450SX class. Racing under the stadium lights, Robin battled through a deep and talented field to secure a 14th-place finish—his best result of the season and a major step forward in his Supercross campaign.

This milestone carries extra weight considering Robin’s recent health battles. Just two years ago, he was sidelined by a serious elbow infection that forced him into a long recovery and nearly ended his career. At one point, his body was reacting so severely to the infection that he had to seek urgent care and step away from competition.

But Robin didn’t walk away. Instead, he rebuilt—quietly, patiently, and with the full support of Estenson Racing. The result in Birmingham wasn’t just a number on a results sheet; it was proof that hard work, perseverance, and belief pay off. Robin looked confident and composed on track, stringing together consistent laps and showing great timing through rhythm sections that had given him trouble earlier in the season.

Now, with momentum on his side and his confidence building, Robin has his sights set on further climbs up the leaderboard as Supercross rolls on.


A True Multi-Discipline Powerhouse

With top-tier performances in American Flat Track, MotoAmerica, and Supercross, Estenson Racing is making one thing clear in 2025: this is a team built to win on any surface. Whether it’s veteran leadership from riders like Daniels, breakout success from Tom and Sam Drane, or inspiring comebacks like Robin’s, Estenson Racing is carving out a reputation as one of the most complete programs in modern motorcycle racing.

As the season picks up pace, the team shows no signs of slowing down.
