Fort Worth, TX (February 27, 2023) – Twin Power today announced their sponsorship of the live broadcast of the Sons of Speed race at Daytona Bike Week on March 4, 2023. The Sons of Speed race pits pre-1950 American V-Twin motorcycles against each other in a variety of classes. Riders, often in vintage-styled riding gear bearing the brands Harley-Davidson and Indian, illicit images of early motorcycle racing, and the steeply banked track at New Smyrna (FL) Raceway is reminiscent of the tracks used for board track racing in the early 1900’s.
The livestream will include color commentary from NASCAR driver and motorcycle rider Kyle Petty and will be featured on Next Level Sports & Entertainment and streamed on YouTube.
