ELDON, MO (9.16.25) – American Flat Track fans gathered at the Lake of the Ozark Speedway in Eldon MO on Saturday, September 13 as the iconic BikeFest Lake of the Ozarks wrapped for 2025. This was the opportunity to witness the thrilling conclusion of the 2025 Progressive American Flat Track Championship… A season Finale that all won’t forget.

Lorin Morrell, MadDog Media, was set up with a KICKER booth right behind the track grandstands. The overall attendance at the BikeFest Week reportedly topped 100,000 from across to the southern Missouri area and well beyond.

“As always, there was a lot of excitement on the grounds from the enthusiast. The branding for KICKER was terrific and we had a lot of interaction with people in the booth for the wide variety of products that KICKER offers. With the Lake of the Ozarks in view we had a lot of questions about KICKER Marine in this rural lake area. There were many people asking questions about pickup products and we had several positive comments from people that had KICKER systems in their trucks” Morrell stated.

The gates opened at 2PM for fans and many checked out the track and displays before the fan party started at 5PM in the paddock area. Opening ceremonies followed at 7 PM with the racing starting at 7:30. At the conclusion of the racing there was a season ending Awards ceremony.

“At the Awards Ceremony I presented Tom Drane, the 2025 AFT Singles Presented by KICKER, his KICKER Audio Livin’Loud Bonus award of a KICKER system build award. Tom was the first AFT Singles winner from Australia and will be Livin’Loud Downunder” Morrell concluded.

SCHAUMBURG, IL (09.15.25) – The well-attended event took place at the Wyndham Gardens and kicked off with food at 6:30 p.m. Justin Gear, VOXX Product Specialist, got the training started at 7 p.m.

The training was an exclusive walk-through of the complete VIPER and AVITAL product lines. Attendees also learned about the latest from PRESTIGE and FLASHLOGIC.

“With VOXX having a reinvigorated focus on in-person training for the new assortment and Direct Loader rollouts this event was spot-on. Our training team has been on the road all over the lower 48 the last few months spreading the word. That’s what makes it extra special for me, being a Chicagoland resident, to come to my home turf and get in front of our dealers… many that I have built great relationships with over the past 9 years,” Gear related.

Continuing, Gear added, “Chris Hilbert and the Echo Sales team organized a great event for our Dealers and Distributor. Everyone was really excited for our new line up, especially the 3-mile color Heavy Duty remote included in the D9957VHD RF KIT, coupled with LED 2-way companion and RGB antenna, along with all the new T-Harnesses that will roll out by year’s end.”
