For Jared and Nichole Mees, flat track racing has never been just a profession—it's been a way of life.

Both have spent practically their entire lives around the racetrack. Racing shaped their childhoods, built lifelong friendships, and ultimately brought them together. In one of the sport's most iconic moments, Jared proposed to Nichole at the legendary Springfield Mile. The couple later married there, making the historic venue an unforgettable part of their family's story.

After retiring from professional racing in 2015, Nichole and Jared were presented with an opportunity to become promoters of the Lima Half-Mile. What began as a new chapter quickly became a passion. Their goal was simple: preserve one of America's legendary races while creating an unforgettable experience for riders, fans, sponsors, and families.

As the Lima Half-Mile continued to grow and thrive, another opportunity emerged—the chance to promote the legendary Springfield Mile. Knowing the importance of preserving one of the most historic events in American Flat Track, the Mees family embraced the challenge and began their next journey through Mees Promotions.

Today, Mees Promotions proudly owns and operates two of the most iconic races in American Flat Track. Every decision is guided by firsthand experience as racers and a deep respect for the sport's traditions while continually looking for ways to improve the experience for fans, competitors, sponsors, and partners.

Jared, a 10-time Grand National Champion, recently retired from professional competition after one of the most accomplished careers in flat track history. While his racing career has concluded, his commitment to the sport is stronger than ever. Together, Jared and Nichole are dedicated to giving back to the sport that gave them so much by investing in its future, preserving its greatest traditions, and helping American Flat Track continue to grow for generations to come.

Whether you're attending your first race or have been a lifelong fan, Mees Promotions is committed to delivering world-class racing, unforgettable experiences, and the excitement that makes American Flat Track unlike any other motorsport.
