DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 31, 2025) - Turner Racing Honda presented by Mission Foods is excited to announce a two-rider AFT Singles presented by KICKER lineup featuring Trevor Brunner and Walker Porter, along with continued support of Trent Lowe in the Mission AFT SuperTwins class for the 2025 Progressive American Flat Track season.
Brunner returns to the squad where he kicked off his professional career and earned his maiden Progressive AFT season following a Rookie of the Year campaign that saw him earn 11 top-tens in premier-class duty. The Indiana native returns to AFT Singles competition aboard a Honda CRF450R with championship aspirations and for good reason. He’s one of the most decorated riders in class history, boasting nine-career race wins, four top-five championship finishes, and the distinction of being one of just four racers to ever secure a Grand Slam of victories (Mile, Half-Mile, TT, and Short Track) in AFT Singles competition.
Rookie phenom Porter joins Turner Racing the same way Brunner did in 2020 – as the reigning Nicky Hayden AMA Flat Track Horizon Award recipient. The youngster from Alabama will now look to make the same seamless transition as Brunner and similarly back up his sterling amateur career with a Rookie-of-the-Year professional debut season aboard a Turner Racing Honda CRF450R.
The team will also partner with Big Red SuperTwins to field Trent Lowe in Mission AFT SuperTwins aboard a Honda Transalp 750. Lowe graduates from the AFT Singles class following a six-year run in the category, the last two of which saw him claim two victories and eight podiums while competing for Turner Racing Honda.
The team will be managed by Kenny Coolbeth and Nick Henderson with mechanics Mack McCormick and Michael Preston along with suspension by Steve Beattie with TwentySix Suspension.
Trevor Brunner #21:
“Mike Turner reached out after the season was over and asked me to come back and partner up for the upcoming season. I had a lot of success in my first two pro seasons with the team and Mike really wanted to get the band back together. I’m excited to be back on the Hondas and my goal and the teams’ goal is the championship.”
Walker Porter #100:
“As a kid I always wanted to race for Turner Racing, and now my dream has come true. I started racing Hondas last year for the Turner Racing Amateur team, and I really liked them. My goal last year was to win the Horizon Award and then start competing against the pros at all our races to get ready for this season. I don’t get to race my first race until I turn 16 in May. Until then I’m training with my teammates and racing the pro classes at all the non-AFT races. After that, I will join the series and go after the Rookie of the Year title.”
Trent Lowe #48:
“I’m excited to move up to the Twins class with Turner Racing. It will be my and the team’s first time competing for a full season in the class. I think we have a real chance to fight for wins and podiums and earn Rookie of the Year. We have already started testing and developing the bike to build on where we left off last year. The whole team is working hard to come out of the box strong next year.”
Team Owner Mike Turner:
“It’s great to bring Kenny and Trevor back aboard while adding Nick Henderson to the mix. It’s going to be exciting to see what Walker can do after spending last year helping develop him in amateur competition. We’re also really excited to get involved with Trent, Mike, Steve, and Al Lamb on the twin. We lost my father, Mike Turner, Sr., last year and that has us focused on doing everything possible to make sure we come out swinging this year. He was the motivation for me to start this team with my brothers in the first place, and he truly loved the sport more than anyone. The team is dedicating this season to him.”
Castrol, the Official Oil of Turner Racing Honda returns along with Mission Foods as Title Sponsor. Also sponsoring the team are United Rentals, Helmet House, Vortex, Motion Pro, Phoenix Handlebars, RP Race, Guts Seats, Cortech, Shoei, Sidi, FastHouse, 100%, Team Masonry, and most importantly, Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas.
