AURORA, Ill. (March 9, 2011) –
Following the conclusion of Sunday’s Amateur Day from the AMA
Arenacross Series race in Sacramento on February 27, the first region
of the 2011 Amateur National Arenacross Championship (ANAC) was set
with 18 riders across 24 classes composing the West Region finalists.
The ANAC pits the fastest amateurs from across the country in a
day-long showdown that will ultimately crown 23 AMA National Champions.

“The
Amateur National Arenacross Championship is the lifeblood of the AMA
Arenacross Series,” said series director Jayme Dalsing. “Many of these
riders are the future stars of the sport and this is their chance to
get well-deserved recognition on a national level. The West Region
produced some extremely fast riders and we’re looking forward to the
completion of the other regions as the season continues.”

The
2011 Amateur National Arenacross Championship will be held on May 8
from South Point Casino in Las Vegas, just one day following the
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, finale from
Sam Boyd Stadium. This year marks the ANAC debut from South Point and
its state-of-the-art Arena and Equestrian Center.

As the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series enters its 10th
