supercross’ home plate, Angel Stadium, on January 7 and conclude at Sam
Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas on May 5, where the champion will be crowned.

Monster
Energy Supercross’ last stop in New Orleans was in 2009 when Team San
Manuel Yamaha’s James Stewart won the main event en route to his second
Supercross class championship.
“The
2012 Monster Energy Supercross schedule is the map to the coveted
championship trophy,” said Todd Jendro, senior director of two-wheel
operations, Feld Motor Sports. “While 2011 is the greatest season ever,
it is a primer for 2012. The returning veterans and the youthful
challengers are the perfect blend for a parity-driven championship.”
“The
2011 season once again proved that the Monster Energy AMA Supercross,
an FIM World Championship, is a real thriller,” said FIM President
Vito Ippolito. “Who would have thought that heading into Las Vegas, the
championship would be so close? Supercross remains the excellent
showcase for FIM motor sports that it always was and keeps the fans
on their toes throughout the entire Championship. It is still the FIM’s
wish to take Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship
global. Still, we are pleased to see that there are once again 17
events on the 2012 calendar and we can start to count down the
days separating us from the first race in Anaheim on January 7, 2012."
"As
2011 proved, the Monster Energy Supercross championship has always been
about combining the best racers on the planet and one of the most
accessible and fan-friendly stadium-based events you'll see anywhere"
said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "For 2012, we're proud to work
with our promotional partner, Feld Motor Sports, to deliver the
exciting racing, compelling stories and intense thrills of supercross
to fans and new audiences worldwide."
