Indian WINS At American Flat Track Opener at Daytona

The Indian Motorcycle Racing Team makes triumphant return to flat track racing.

Jared Mees helped the Indian Motorcycle flat track team make a triumphant return after the 63-year hiatus. Mees claimed first at the Daytona TT American Flat Track season opener followed by fellow Indian factory rider and 2016 Grand National Champion Bryan Smith.

All eyes were on Indian heading into the season opener after assembling a team featuring three of the sport’s most decorated riders and armed with Indian’s Scout FTR750. The season-opening victory brought dramatic validation to Indian’s bold re-entry into the sport it had once dominated, reigniting the Indian Motorcycle versus Harley-Davidson rivalry that had carried the sport throughout its glory days.
