AMA Nasmoto Supermoto Motorcycle & ATV Racing AMA Supermoto Series Rolls Into Fairgrounds
Music City Motorplex on October 14, 2006
Worlds greatest all-around motorcycle racers test their skills versus each other
in this new fangled form of motorcycle racing dubbed Supermoto

Nashville, TN (10/3/2006) - The worlds greatest all-around motorcycle racers will converge upon Nashvilles Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex next month (Oct. 14) for the Xtreme Cycle Jam, Round Nine of the 2006 AMA Supermoto Championship, presented by Parts Unlimited and Sloans Motorcycle & ATV Super Center.

Supermoto, which was derived from the legendary ABC Sports made-for-TV race series dubbed the Superbikers back in the late 1970s, combines three of the most common disciplines of motorcycle racing: road racing (pavement), motocross (dirt with jumps) and flat track (compacted dirt). The sport has become so popular in Europe that the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) decided to launch its own series and has met with great success in its first three years of competition.

The State of Tennessee is a hotbed for all sorts of competitive motorsports action and the Xtreme Cycle Jam AMA Supermoto round at the Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex has been has been enthusiastically accepted by the area motorsports fans for the past two years, said Joel Grover, Director of AMA Supermoto. In addition, the uniqueness of supermoto has won over fans across the nation both from motorcycle as well as auto racing enthusiast backgrounds. Supermoto is motorcyclings version of auto rally racing, only held in a venue where the entire course is visible.

And with four pro main events, along with all of the qualifying, the entertainment return on the family dollar investment has kept our fans coming back.

Leading the AMA Supermoto Championship series thus far is former motocross champion and Indy 500 podium finisher Jeff Ward. Wardy heads a field of racers that includes international greats such as 2005 AMA Supermoto champion Jurgen Kunzel (Germany) and Troy Herfoss (Australia), along with homegrown U.S.A. talent like AMA motocross legend Doug Henry, the AMA Superbike Championship Bostrom brothers (Ben & Eric) and AMA flat track great Glen JR Schnabel.

The Xtreme Cycle Jam AMA Supermoto provides motorsport fans with an exciting day of motorcycle racing action showcasing all of the disciplines of the sport - road racing, motocross and flat track in one race, said Joe Mattioli, President of the Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex. We are encouraging fans that attend our other great motorsports events NASCAR Late Models and Super Trucks, the All American 400 and DukesFest to come check out the motorcycle racing action on Saturday, Oct. 14th. It is definitely an event the likes of which you have never seen before!
