2012 RacerTV NBC Sports
Network Race Showtime Line-up
TV Show Schedule for GNCC,
ATVMX and Amateur MX Racing
Morgantown, WV (4/20/2012)
- RacerTV returns to the airwaves this
Sunday with coverage of the Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country Series, the AMA ATV Motocross National
Championship, the Red Bull AMA Amateur National
Motocross Championship presented by Amsoil, and
the Amsoil Championship Snocross Series. The newly
expanded 52-week television package airs Sundays
on NBC Sports Network, beginning in April and
running through March, and will be brought to
viewers by television sponsors Can-Am, Amsoil
and Rocky Mountain ATV*MC.
The 2012 RacerTV schedule kicks off April 22
with the opening round of GNCC in River Ranch,
Fla., and includes a whopping thirty-two episodes
of GNCC Racing—featuring 13 ATV and 13 motorcycle
shows, as well as six bonus episodes featuring
the popular Women’s ATV, 4X4 Utility and
UTV classes.
Coverage of the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship
Series begins May 5 with the opening round at
Aonia Pass MX in Washington, Ga., and concludes
with the historic Loretta Lynn’s finale,
airing December 9.
The fastest amateur motocross racers in the country
return to RacerTV with special back-to-back episodes
of the Red Bull AMA Amateur Motocross National
Championship presented by Amsoil. The shows will
feature the weeklong national event, taking place
in August at the historic Loretta Lynn Ranch in
Hurricane Mills Tenn.
The program will conclude with 8 back-to-back
episodes of the Amsoil Championship Snocross Series,
featuring the fastest snowmobile racers in the
world as they take on custom-built motocross racetracks
built from snow.
“This new 52-week TV package provides some
of the best coverage RacerTV has ever seen and
we’re excited to be a part of it,”
said RacerTV Producer, Jason Hooper. “Although
our schedule takes a break in August for the airing
of the Olympics, we expect to see an increase
in exposure for not only our racers and sponsors,
but the sport as a whole.”
In addition to the action-packed race coverage
most have come to expect, RacerTV will also showcase
a behind-the-scenes look at some of racing’s
most interesting figures—from inside the
factory semi to dramatic pit stops—viewers
will get the full effect of raceday. Can-Am and
Amsoil return to RacerTV once again this season
to bring specialized features to the TV show,
while Rocky Mountain ATV*MC is welcomed to the
program for the first time this year and will
also provide exclusive features throughout the
show. Tune into NBC Sports Network every Sunday
evening for RacerTV’s newest spin on off-road
