Indian Motorcycle: FTR750 Sweeps Charlotte Half-Mile

Sweep Stakes

Indian Motorcycle Racing and its championship-winning FTR750 swept the podium at the Charlotte Half-Mile last weekend. Indian Motorcycle Privateer Jeffrey Carver Jr. passed Wrecking Crew riders Jared Mees and Briar Bauman, taking home his first win of the season. Mees and Bauman finished second and third. All three rode the FTR750.

At the outset of the race, Mees and Bauman separated themselves from the pack and on their way toward a head-to-head finish. However, a red flag came out and forced a staggered restart. While Mees and Bauman exchanged passes through nearly every turn, Carver seized his opportunity and overtook them. The second place-finished brought Mees to within nine points behind the reigning-champion Bauman.

Mees now has a firm grasp of second place with 264 points and is within striking distance of the lead. Bauman sits atop the leaderboard with 273 points on the year. After finishing fifth in Charlotte, Indian Motorcycle Privateer Sammy Halbert remains in third with 207 points.
The 2020 American Flat Track season concludes on October 16-17 at the Progressive AFT Finale Doubleheader at Daytona International Speedway.
