Schedule
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 5, 2009) - AMA Pro Racing
officials announced today the 2010 race schedule for the AMA Pro Superbike
Championship that will see the series visit the foremost road courses in the
United States. SPEED will once again serve as AMA Pro's broadcast partner. The 2010 Superbike schedule will feature the two premier
classes competing in nine confirmed events in key markets across the country.
Negotiations are ongoing for a 10th race. Those details will be released in
the near future. The season will begin with the 69th annual Daytona 200
event weekend (March 3 - 5) under the lights at the "World Center of
Racing." SPEED will air the Daytona 200 live on Friday, March 5. The Daytona 200 will be the only endurance race on the
2010 schedule. The remaining events will be doubleheader weekends that host
dual 50-mile races on Saturday and Sunday. After the Daytona opener, AMA Pro begins the
doubleheader sprint race schedule at Auto Club Speedway (March 26 - 28) in
Fontana, Calif., followed by a new event weekend date for Road Atlanta (April
16 - 18). Infineon Raceway (May 14 - 16) hosts the series for Round 4. The
halfway point of the season hits at Road America, which has once again
reserved the historical date for the Elkhart Lake track (June 4 - 6). The series will then visit Mid-Ohio (July 16-18) before
heading to Virginia International Raceway (August 13 - 15) on the same
weekend for the fourth year in a row. The successful first year event over
the Labor Day weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park (September 3 - 5) looks
to be repeated, and the series will close at Barber Motorsports Park in
Birmingham (September 24 - 26). Following the season-opener at Daytona, SPEED will air
flag-to-flag same weekend coverage of the two premier classes. Highlights of
the other classes competing during the race weekends will be shown during the
broadcasts. "SPEED is grateful for how the relationship works
between the network and AMA Pro Racing," said SPEED President Hunter
Nickell. "Everyone involved is committed and energized in the joint
effort to deliver quality motorcycle racing coverage. We look forward to the
2010 racing season and to this continued partnership." "It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the
continuation of a great partnership with SPEED," said AMA Pro President
Roger Edmondson. "Their commitment to the growth of our sport and their
unique ability to capture the excitement that the athletes and machines of
our sport put on display every race weekend made continuing our relationship
an easy decision. With our broadcast partner in place and our schedule
visiting the best venues in the United States, we expect 2010 to be a great
year and look forward to kicking off the season in Daytona." 2010 Confirmed Events March 3 - 5 Daytona International Speedway (Daytona
