LOS ANGELES, CA - FUEL TV, Alli Sports, and MX Sports Pro Racing announce an agreement for FUEL TV to air the first two races on the world-renowned, 12-stop Lucas
Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship circuit live. In addition to the 24
hours of live event programming, FUEL TV also airs an hour-long season
preview and 14 one-hour recap shows.
 
FUEL TV showcases the first 250 Class and 450 Class motocross races each Saturday of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, beginning with the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento, California, on May 21. Additionally, FUEL
TV airs a one-hour highlight show each Thursday, as well as a season
preview, mid-season summary, and post-season wrap-up shows.
 
“This
expansion of our relationship with Alli Sports and MX Sports enables
FUEL TV to continue our commitment to deliver high-quality coverage of
motocross,” says CJ Olivares, FUEL TV GM. “FUEL TV currently brings
fans an inside look into this grueling sport through our popular
docu-series ‘The Moto: Inside The Outdoors,’ and now viewers will also
have the chance to follow the races live each weekend.”
 
“We
are thrilled to be moving our long-standing relationship with FUEL TV,
which began with the Dew Tour in 2005, into another venue,” 
says Wade Martin, Alli Sports CEO “This is a great opportunity to expand the audience for motocross racing.”
 
“This
is another huge step forward for American motocross, something our
athletes and race fans have waited a long time for,” says Davey Coombs,
VP of MX Sports Pro Racing. “The opportunity to enjoy live television
coverage of each of our 12 championship rounds, as well as, a weekly
highlight program is going to make this a fantastic summer for
motocross fans.”
