Supercross - Ricky Carmichael Visits Monster Energy Cup Headquarters 3

Ricky Carmichael visits Feld Motor Sports to talk about the Monster Energy Cup track design.

Feld
Motor Sports® announced today the creation of an inaugural event called
the Monster Energy Cup, which posts a purse of a quarter-of-a-million
dollars and a potential $1 million bonus, that will take place at Las
Vegas' Sam Boyd Stadium on October 15. This invitation-only race will
showcase the world's top supercross racers live on SPEED in a three-hour
broadcast.

This lucrative event posts a $250,000 purse with the
winner walking away with a $100,000 check, and for the "first time ever"
a shot at $1 million. The Monster Million will be awarded to the winner
of all three main events.

"The Monster Energy Cup is designed
around a racing format that will challenge the racers unlike any other
supercross event featuring an epic endurance challenge of a three-stage.
30-lap main event," said Todd Jendro, senior director of two wheel
operations, Feld Motor Sports. "This newly created format incorporates
three main events, where riders will engage in three races, battling for
rights to win the inaugural Monster Energy Cup. The event will feature a
one-class format, offering riders the option to choose the bike of
their choice, including 250-450cc four strokes or 125cc and 250cc two
strokes. The unique "all in" option presents riders with maximum
flexibility, manufacturers with a variety of set-up options and the
perfect showcase for supercross fans."

The unique hybrid track
will consist of supercross/motocross terrain and will have a tremendous
motocross-style influence, making it unlike any other stadium race in
the world. This track will be the perfect blend of supercross and
motocross combined and created into the ultimate battleground.

"We
wanted to create a spectacular standalone event that we knew would
excite the fans, riders, teams and media," said Bruce Stjernstrom,
Monster Energy's Vice President of Sports Marketing. "With a million
dollars up for the taking - and with the world's best riders all
expected to attend - the Monster Energy Cup will be a race no one will
want to miss."

The stars of the next generation and the stars of
tomorrow, the Monster Energy Cup will feature the Super-Mini class and
the 250 A class, respectively. The top 15 riders from each class in the
AMA Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championships will make up the
starting grid for these special events.
