Jared Mees Transforms Springfield Mile | Springfield News

Jared Mees, ten-time Springfield Mile champion and flat track legend, has traded his helmet for a promoter’s hat—now overseeing the most iconic dirt track race in the world. Married on its sacred soil in 2013, Mees retired in 2024 to focus on family after years of broken bones and surgeries, but he’s not walking away from the sport. With his wife Nichole by his side, they run Mees Promotions, determined to reignite passion for motorcycle racing. As the season’s grand finale, the Springfield Mile is the Daytona 500 of flat track—and this year, it’s also celebrating Route 66’s centennial. With an amateur race the day before and the main event on Saturday, September 6th, Mees is betting big on excitement, entertainment, and a new generation of fans—even if the weather cooperates.
