 2006
ATVA Supermoto Grand Championship
To Be Settled in Nashville Prior to Queen Mary
Nashville, TN (10/5/2006)
- Originally scheduled as part of Troy
Lee's "Duel at the Docks" AMA Supermoto
Final weekend at the Queen Mary in Long Beach,
the NASMOTO pro and amateur ATVA Grand Championship
will now take place two weeks earlier, on Sunday,
October 15th at the Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex
in Nashville, TN.
"There were some insurance liability issues with
regard to running ATVs at the Queen," said NASMOTO
VP Ted Baker. "Although the venue change has inconvenienced
some racers - and believe me, we feel badly about that
- we are nonetheless fortunate to be able to wrap up
the ATV season on an incredible track in Nashville."
The ATV final will be part of X'treme Cycle Jam '06,
a full weekend of intense supermoto racing at Nashville's
Motorplex. Contenders for the national pro title include
Zac Willett, Daryl Rath, and Nick Granlund, who has
dominated the series so far.
"We are still hoping and expecting to have all
the top pro and amateur ATV riders show up, despite
the schedule change," said Baker. "But it's
worth noting that we do want to make sure we've got
full grids in both classes, so interested riders should
be going to www.nasmoto.com
to pre-register via our technology partner XBUX."
"The ATV racers have definitely been stirring
up some excitement this season," said Joel Grover,
Director of AMA Supermoto, who also happens to be a
former pro ATV champion himself. "Things can get
pretty wild out there with four wheels on a supermoto
track, and the crowds love it. We are making the best
of this last-minute venue change and expect to have
a fantastic AMA Grand Championship."
The most recent stop in the NASMOTO series featuring
the ATVs was a successful weekend at The Grange in Apple
Valley, CA Sept. 30 - Oct. 1. The series has been criss-crossing
the country all season with the key help of sponsors
like Duro Tire, which has taken a leadership role in
promoting the sport.
