Tickets to See World’s Fastest Amateur AMSOIL Arenacross Riders on Sale Now
AURORA,
Ill. (April XX, 2013) – In just a few weeks, the world’s fastest
amateur AMSOIL Arenacross riders will take center stage on the world
famous Las Vegas Strip for the annual AMSOIL AMA Amateur National
Arenacross Championships (ANAC). This year, South Point Casino and its
state-of-the-art arena will once again be the sight of two action-packed
days of activity that is sure to maintain the highly competitive legacy
of this prestigious event.
Day
one on Friday, May 3, will feature practice and qualifying for all 27
classes in addition to the first four Main Events of the weekend. Racing
continues on Sunday, May 5, with an action-packed day of competition
that will crown champions for the remaining 23 classes. With a wide
range of skill levels and ages competing at the ANAC, this annual
tradition has become one of the most highly regarded amateur
competitions in the world.
In
conjunction with the 2013 AMSOIL Arenacross season, featuring Ricky
Carmichael’s Road to Supercross, hundreds of riders of all ages and
skill levels have been competing for his or her shot at a chance to win a
coveted national title. Over the course of the 10 weekends that
composed the 2013 AMSOIL Arenacross schedule, riders qualified from one
of five different amateur regions – North, South, East, West and Central
– during the Amateur Day races that took place every Sunday following
professional action.
With
over 300 riders looking for the chance to qualify on any given weekend,
earning one’s way into the ANAC was no easy task. As a result, this
year presents one of the most talented fields of riders to ever compete.
In total, 540 of the nation’s best amateur competitors, male and
female, will converge in Las Vegas the first weekend in May, in
conjunction with the Monster Energy Supercross Finals. In the end, a
total of 26 riders will emerge as a one-of-a-kind AMA National Champion
by the time the weekend concludes.
In
the highly talented Expert Class, the top 10 finishers from the ANAC
will receive a sought-after 250SX Class Endorsement, which makes them
eligible to compete in the 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM
World Championship, season.
Since
the 2010 season, the ANAC has been run in conjunction with the dramatic
finale of Monster Energy Supercross. With the addition of a full day of
practice and qualifying one year ago, doubling the amount of track time
for the future stars of AMSOIL Arenacross makes for an action-packed
weekend that has enough excitement to satiate any enthusiasts’ hunger
for competition. Simply put, combining the ANAC with Monster Energy
Supercross in Las Vegas is the ultimate way to close out an incredible
2013 season, making for a can’t-miss weekend for any fan.
Friday’s
practice and qualifying sessions for the ANAC, will allow all qualified
riders to familiarize themselves with the track while also setting
their gate selection for the weekend. The first four Main Events of the
weekend in the 85cc (9-15), Expert, Pit Bike, and 65cc (7-11) classes
will bring Friday night to a close. On Sunday, eliminations begin for
the remaining 23 classes of competition until a rider is crowned as an
AMA National Champion for each respective division.
