April 2, 2015, 2:10pm

San Diego, CA - The AMA Supermoto National Championship kicks off this Saturday in Riverside, CA at the historic Adams Motorsports Park. Gage McAllister won the Open Pro class last year and will look to defend his national number one plate, but with 2008 National Champion Steve Drew returning, and S3 World Champ Alexis Marie-Luce arriving in America, Gage will have some new competition. Pro Open, Pro Lites, National Amateur, Mini Moto, and a drift demo will all be featured April 4th. Every ticket is a pit pass and cost only $15.

"We're excited to see the AMA Supermoto National Championship Series continue to grow for 2015," said AMA Director of Racing Bill Cumbow. "This series provides a showcase for America's top Supermoto talent, and the teams and sponsors that support the sport. It also gives the grassroots amateur community opportunities to compete on the country's best tracks so they can hone their skills and become the pros of tomorrow."

With the championship coming to the East Coast at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, it completes the series' reach to nearly every region of the country.
Muscle Man Honda Circuit, the other new track for 2015, will host the finale. This venue is one of the most challenging Supermoto tracks in the United States. The setup for 2015 will include large metal jumps and a paved motocross section. The race is expected to draw the best Supermoto racers from around the world.

The AMA Supermoto National Championship Series includes novice, youth, intermediate, age- and displacement-based classes as well as classes that will feature some of the best supermoto talent in the country. Online registration is available at www.amanationalsupermoto.com.
