Palo Alto, CA, March 25, 2008–
XTRM Sports Network is the fastest growing online and offline action
sports network for sponsors, promoters, competitors and fans, today announced
that the AMA National Race originally scheduled for April 11-12, 2008 in San
Diego will not be held. In place of the AMA National Race, the Navy Moto X
World Championships will run a Last Chance Qualifier to accommodate committed
Pro riders and teams planning on attending the event.
Forty-eight riders will be invited to the Qualifier based on last year’s
points. A total of 12 spots will be awarded, in addition to the 20
previously seeded riders. The roster of riders who make the final will be
determined by the direct results of two heat races and an LCQ to be held on
April 11, 2008. The list of riders, entries and schedule are posted on
www.xtrm.com/supermoto. Riders are requested not to contact ESPN
directly.
“XTRM is proud to help deliver a platform for up and coming competitors and to
give them the opportunity to earn a spot on the line in the finals”, said Myron
Short of XTRM. “We believe that delivering these preliminary rounds adds to the
excitement of the ESPN Navy Moto X World Championships and we look forward to a
very competitive field.”
The ESPN Navy Moto X World Championships does not affect the AMA series, which
will go forward as previously announced. For spectator information regarding
