Ever since the mid-1970s, the AMA Flat Track Grand Championship has pitted top amateur flat trackers against each other in friendly competition.
As the premier amateur flat track event in the United States - and the only race in the country where you can earn an AMA National No. 1 plate in amateur Flat Track Racing - the Mission Foods AMA Flat Track Grand Championships is unmatched in terms of history and prestige

The 2024 Mission Foods AMA Flat Track Grand Championship will be held June 30-July 5, 2024, at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in Du Quoin, Illinois.

As with most AMA amateur national championships, and in recognition of the wide range of participants in amateur competition, the event includes multiple classes to provide ample opportunity for all amateur racers to compete. Age, displacement and bike-configuration classes are all offered at this event.

When the last race has been run and competitors hang up their steel shoes, all the practice, bike prep and power-sliding towards victory deserves to be recognized. Special awards presented at the completion of the Mission Foods AMA Flat Track Grand Championship include the following:
