AURORA, Ill. (August 10, 2011) – Feld Motor Sports®
announced today, following this weekend’s Amateur National Motocross
Championship at Loretta Lynn’s, the top-15 finishing riders from the
Super-Mini class (12-15 years old) have earned a spot in the prestigious
Super-Mini class at the Monster Energy Cup. The Inaugural Monster
Energy Cup is set to take place from Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium October
15.

The
Monster Energy Cup Super-Mini Class will showcase the next generation
of superstars including eight-time AMA Amateur National Champion Adam
Cianciarulo along with other of the world’s best amateur Super-Mini
riders. The winner of this prestigious event will be awarded the honor
of being crowned the first ever Monster Energy Super-Mini Class
Champion.

The
Super-Mini class main event will follow a two-moto, six-lap format.
Overall results will be determined by combined main event results.

“I’m
definitely excited to compete in the Super-Mini class at the Monster
Energy Cup,” said Cianciarulo. “Just to know that Ricky Carmichael and
Jeremy McGrath, two of the greatest riders out there, are designing the
track makes this one of the most coolest races. Those guys have two
totally different riding styles, so I think the track is going to suite
everyone well. I’m really looking forward to the race.”
