AURORA, Ill. (April 7, 2011) –
The on-track action for the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series will come to a
close this weekend in Des Moines, but while the highly-talented
professional riders are actively preparing for next year, the country’s
fastest amateurs are preparing for their chance in the spotlight at the
biggest race of the season. Each year, the Amateur National Arenacross
Championship (ANAC) pits the top amateur competitors from across the
U.S. in a fight for an AMA National Championship across 23 different
classes. Recently, the final qualifiers from the South Region were set
and the top-five riders from 24 classes booked their ticket to Las
Vegas in just a few weeks.

“The
amateur competition this season has been exceptional,” said series
director Jayme Dalsing. “There has been a lot of talent out on the
track throughout the country and now we have three regions ready to go.
I think we might see some of the best racing ever in the ANAC.”

The
2011 ANAC will commence on Sunday, May 8 from South Point Casino in Las
Vegas, just one day following the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM
World Championship, finale from Sam Boyd Stadium. This year marks the
ANAC debut from South Point and its state-of-the-art Arena and
Equestrian Center.

As
the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series enters its final round of action this
weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, the remaining ANAC regions will be
finalized following the action on Sunday, April 10.
