In a press release dated February 20, 2019 the American Motorcyclist Association announced its 2019 Supermoto National Championship Series schedule.

2 new venues

This year, the series will include races at two new venues.  The first round will kick off at a new venue in Primm, Nevada on April 6th and 7th.  The other new event venue will take place in Grand Junction, Colorado between May 18th and 19th.

Supermoto racing includes a mix of paved circuit racing and motocross.  Tight turns and jumps are also part of the racing.  With venues that range from football stadiums to closed-course streets or parking lots, there’s a very significant variation in circuit design and complexity.

AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant commented on the series saying:

The AMA Supermoto National Championship Series represents the pinnacle of the sport in the United States.  It is a sport that borrows elements from multiple disciplines to challenge riders, and we are looking forward to another season of intense competition.”
