AURORA, Ill. (April 21, 2011) –
With the conclusion of a great AMA Arenacross Series season of
competition in Des Moines, Iowa, the 2011 Amateur National Arenacross
Championship (ANAC) lineup was finalized with the qualification of 120
riders across 24 classes representing the North Region. The ANAC is a
renowned competition that annually pits the fastest amateurs from
across the country in a day-long showdown from which 23 AMA National
Champions will be crowned.
“We
have an extremely talented field of riders slated for this year’s
ANAC,” said AMA Arenacross Series Director Jayme Dalsing. “Each year
this is one of the most anticipated races of the entire season of
competition and I think it’s going to be a year to remember in 2011.”
The
gates will drop on the 2011 ANAC on May 8 from South Point Hotel,
Casino, & Spa 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 the state-of-the-art South
Point Arena.
