World’s Best Arenacross Riders Scheduled to Make 14
Stops Across the Country
AURORA, Ill. (November 1, 2010) – After
releasing the preliminary 2011 AMA Arenacross Series schedule just prior to the
fall season, Feld Motor Sports℠
has finalized the upcoming Arenacross season by announcing that Louisville,
Ky., will host Round 6 of the 14-race championship. The event will commence on
Saturday, February 12 at the Freedom Hall, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Louisville has been a longtime staple of the
AMA Arenacross Series, hosting numerous rounds of the world’s premier indoor
dirt-bike racing series at the renowned Broadbent Arena. However, as the
fastest Arenacross riders on the planet, led by reigning AMA Arenacross Series
champion Josh Demuth, return to Kentucky after a one-year hiatus, they will
compete in a new venue at the Freedom Hall.
“Louisville has always been one of the most
successful stops of the tour, and we are excited to bring back the AMA
Arenacross Series to the loyal fans of Louisville,” said Jayme Dalsing,
director of arenacross, Feld Motor Sports.
The legendary Freedom Hall is best known as
the home of the University of Louisville Men’s and Women’s Basketball programs
and for the first time in its 44-year existence, it will welcome the stars of
the AMA Arenacross Series in addition to 150 truckloads of dirt onto its floor.
When the AMA Arenacross Series last competed
in Louisville, it was eventual 2009 AMA Arenacross Series champion Jeff Gibson
who grabbed the headlines, sweeping two nights of action in the Bluegrass
State. In addition to hosting Round 6 of the AMA Arenacross Series
Championship, Louisville will also serve as the fourth round of the AMA
Arenacross Lites Eastern Regional Championship.
Additionally, the road to the Amateur
National Arenacross Championship will also go through Louisville with an East Region
qualifier on Sunday, February 13.
Feld Motor Sports has also announced that the
ninth round of the championship from Wichita, Kan., will be changed from two
nights of AMA Arenacross Series racing to one on Saturday, March 5.
