2012 AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Schedule Announced
Morgantown, WV (11/2/2011) -
MX Sports Pro Racing and ATVPG announce today
the 2012 schedule for America's most prestigious
and longest standing ATV racing series - the AMA
ATV Motocross National Championship Series presented
by DWT. The 2012 ten race series kicks off March
24 and 25 at Millcreek Raceway in Pell City, Ala.
and wraps up August 11 and 12 at Loretta Lynn
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.
The series moves to a ten-race format in 2012
and will be returning to many of the ATV racing
community's favorite venues such as High Point
Raceway in Mt. Morris, Pa. and Muddy Creek Raceway
in Blountville, Tenn.
"The ATV promoters are excited to release
the National ATVMX schedule for 2012," said
ATVPG Director Sam Gammon. "We have put a
lot of consideration into creating a schedule
that best accommodates riders and families, while
still creating an exciting series that is worthy
of its national status."
For the first time in ATV Motocross history,
the Ballance MX event in Kentucky will incorporate
a night race into Saturday's program, giving spectators
even more opportunities to catch racing action
at different parts of the day.
"The race in Kentucky will bring a whole
new excitement factor to the series, as the pro
show will be at night under the lights on Saturday,"
Gammon added. "We are going to make every
effort to keep the series fun and to give the
racers a good value for their dollars spent."
Last month, 2011 AMA ATV Pro Champion John Natalie
Jr. was awarded his national title, along with
the other AMA Pro award recipients, in conjunction
with the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Racing Season Celebration
in Pala, Calif. Amateur racers will be recognized
at the ATVMX Awards Banquet October 29 in Pigeon
Forge, Tenn., where thirty-seven national championships
will be awarded. For more information on the series,
