DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Florida native Ricky Carmichael, hailed by some as the greatest motocross racer of all time, will design the Daytona Supercross by Honda track for the prestigious event on Friday night, March 7 at historic Daytona International Speedway.

Carmichael, who retired from competition last year and owns a record five Daytona Supercross By Honda victories, will design the unique supercross track on start/finish line infield portion of Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona Supercross by Honda.

“What a thrill to be able to have one of the sports greatest riders of all time design a course for today’s greatest riders,” said Speedway President Robin Braig of Carmichael. “We’re thrilled to have Ricky offer his expertise in designing what will be a fun and challenging course to compete on under the lights at ‘The World Center for Racing.’ ”

The course will be constructed by Mark Barnett, former Supercross Champion and three-time National Champion. Barnett, dubbed “The Bomber” while on the circuit from 1978-85, competed at Daytona from 1980-84, coming from last place to finish second in the ’84 event.

Is the track just an oval with some jumps and "hoops"? <img class= " title="Laughing">

He will probably do step up (and win). He said he wanted to do it lat year but people (sh**hook) told him no. Hopefully he will do the MotoX too.

Didnt he design the x games supercross race last year? Didnt we all think the track sucked? Hope he does better the second time around.

The problem is that the dirt is too hard and dusty and they honestly have no room for a supercross race. RC should just stop trying to be a rebel and race supermoto like everyone else.

You have to design simpler tracks to have better races. The best races this year with the most passing have been easy tracks.

Yeah I don't care if it's a tennis court or a soccer field, I'm still hoping for the shark tank ... you know ... in memory of Evel.

I mean you'd have a safety net, to save Travis Preston if it came to that, but a shark tank would ROCK at Daytona dude!
