AURORA, Ill. (October 27, 2011) – Feld Motor Sports® has
announced that the 2012 AMA Arenacross Series broadcasts will return to
SPEED, continuing the longstanding relationship between the two
entities. With a revamped schedule set to begin on Saturday, October 29,
in Des Moines, Iowa, fans will have the opportunity to watch the action
earlier than ever, as Jason Weigandt and Buddy Antunez provide the
play-by-play and analysis.

Antunez,
a five-time AMA Arenacross Series Champion and the winningest rider in
the sport, made the move into the broadcast booth last season. As the
most successful Arenacross rider in history, Antunez was a natural
alongside Weigandt, providing insight only he could offer given his
exceptional career resume.

Weigandt,
who has been the voice of the AMA Arenacross Series since it began
being broadcast on SPEED in 2005, will continue his role as the voice of
the sport. His well-rounded announcing experience across all
disciplines of dirt-bike racing and his vast knowledge of the
competition is unmatched by any other host in the industry.

In
total, 12 shows will give AMA Arenacross Series fans throughout the
country ample opportunity to watch some of the most exciting two-wheeled
action on the planet. Beginning in the New Year on January 3, 2012,
“Arenacross Tuesdays” will take center stage on SPEED, with weekly
premieres that last through the end of March, beginning at noon ET.

As
Babbitt’s Monster Energy/TiLUBE Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers seeks to defend
his Arenacross class crown, his talented teammates Josh Demuth and Chad
Johnson, along with the TUF Honda duo of Jeff Gibson and Cole Siebler,
will look to make championship runs of their own. Additionally, AMA
Arenacross Series veterans like Kelly Smith, Kevin Johnson, Nathan
Skaggs and Zach Ames will all be engaged in battle at the front of the
field.
