Los Angeles, CA (July 17, 2007) - KTM Factory Sponsored Off-Road Champion, David Knight has announced today that he is will be racing all three rounds of the AMA/Maxxis National EnduroCross Series. Knight, known throughout the industry as one of the best off-road racers in the world, was the 2006 World Enduro Champion and is the current points leader in the GNCC series - the most prestigious off-road race series in America.

"The American EnduroCross has always been fun to race and better when you win it," explained Knight, the 2005 EnduroCross Champion. "This new series sounds like a real challenge as it will be difficult to win all three - but that's my goal. I would love to add the 2007 EnduroCross Championship to my list of accomplishments."

The 2007 AMA/Maxxis National EnduroCross Series starts in Denver, Colorado on September 29. It then moves to Guthrie, Oklahoma on October 6 with the final round inside the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on November 16 & 17. The three race series will boast a $40,000 total purse payout.

The overall winner of the series will be crowned the AMA/Maxxis EnduroCross Champion. In addition to the Expert class, there are four amateur classes available to compete in - these classes will also be awarded individual AMA #1 plates.
