to See World’s Fastest Amateur Arenacross Riders on Sale Now

AURORA,
Ill. (March 1, 2012) – After a successful debut last year, South
Point Casino will once again host the world’s fastest amateur
arenacross riders as they take center stage in Las Vegas this May.
The 13^th
annual Amateur National Arenacross Championship (ANAC) will feature a
loaded weekend of action from inside South Point Arena, on the famous
Las Vegas Strip. On-track activities kick off Friday, May 4, with a
full slate of competition on Sunday, May 6, when champions will be
crowned. In all, 27 different classes of competition – from
beginners to experts – will compose one of the single-largest
weekends of amateur racing in all of motocross.

Through
the 2012 AMA Arenacross Series, hundreds of riders of all ages and
skill levels have been competing for their shot at a chance to win an
AMA national title. Over the course of the 12 rounds that compose the
AMA Arenacross Series, riders have qualified from one of five
different regions – North, South, East, West and Central – at the
Amateur Day races that took place every Sunday following professional
action. In total, 540 of the nation’s fastest amateur competitors
will converge on Las Vegas, with a total of 26 riders ultimately
emerging as an AMA National Champion.

In
the highly-talented Experts class, the top 10 finishers from ANAC
will receive the sought-after AMA Lites Class Endorsement, which
makes them eligible to compete in the 2013 Monster Energy AMA
Supercross, an FIM World Championship.

Friday
will serve as a day of practice and qualifying for the Amateur
National Arenacross Championship, where each competitor will battle
for their race day gate selections. The first four main events of the
weekend will bring Friday night to a close. On Sunday, eliminations
begin for the remaining 23 classes of competition until a rider is
crowned as an AMA National Champion for each respective class.

Tickets
for the 2012 Amateur National Arenacross Championship are on sale
now. Gates and pits open promptly at 8 a.m. for Sunday’s action,
with racing set to start shortly thereafter. All competition will be
hosted within the spacious South Point Arena, which has established
itself as the new home for the Amateur National Arenacross
Championship.

A
full day of the most exciting amateur racing in the world costs just
$35 for general admission seating (service charges, facility, and
handling fees may apply). Pit access is free to all fans in
attendance with a valid ticket.
