Military-Themed Monster Energy Supercross Race Set for San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium
AURORA, Ill.
(December 5, 2013) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today
that the annual Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, race from San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium on February 8 will
take on a military theme to pay tribute to America’s members
of the armed forces. Feld Motor Sports will support Operation
Homefront, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that
provides assistance to service members and their families with a focus on wounded veterans who served on or after 9/11,
by making a monetary donation to the organization. Active and
non-active members of the military will receive a $5 discount on $35
tickets by phone or online at Ticketmaster.com by using the code:
OPHOME.
The San Diego race, one of
the highest attended stops on the 17-race schedule, will showcase
military-themed activities while riders and teams will be outfitted with
military schemes
on their gear and bikes. The San Diego area is home to several military
installations, which makes this stop of Monster Energy Supercross a
perfect fit to honor to the men and women that have served the country.
"When talking to people
about the needs in the military community, I often hear people say I
just didn't know," said Jack Chirrick, executive director of Operation
Homefront - California. "Feld
Motor Sports has really taken notice and made a commitment to join with
us to honor our heroes and their families. Our service members and
their families sacrifice so much for us, and we want to be sure that we
are there to assist them if they need it."
“The military presence in
San Diego is the perfect backdrop for this race and a way that our sport
can say thanks to our military members,” said Dave Prater, director of
supercross,
Feld Motor Sports. “This day is completely dedicated to those men and
women that have done so much for our country.”
For the first-time ever, the
entire Monster Energy Supercross season will air live on FOX Sports.
FOX Sports 1 will air 13 races live and Fox Sports 2 will air four races
live, in addition to every
