Friday and Saturday Schedules for SMX Playoff Round in North Carolina
The SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) Playoffs start this weekend at zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. Each of the three SMX rounds will feature Friday racing and also a Friday Fan Zone, which will consist of a pre-race press conference with a handful of riders in both classes, and fans get to watch and even ask questions. Friday also features free practice for all classes (including this weekend's 65cc World All-Stars), autograph sessions, pit bike racing, and the new SMX Insider Podcast Mashup. That show runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and features broadcasters Jason Weigandt, Jason Thomas, James Stewart, Ricky Carmichael as well as PulpMX's Steve Matthes and Gypsy Tales' Jace McAlpine on stage, taking questions from fans.
The Friday Fan Zone will open at 11 a.m. local time and close at 6 p.m. at all three rounds (Eastern time for this weekend). Camping is also allowed at all three SMX events.
On Saturday, the FanFest will open at 8 a.m. and close at 2 p.m. ahead of the 3 p.m. gate drop on the motos.
Note that Friday’s Fan Zone will need a separate ticket as that is different from Saturday’s FanFest activities.
The full Friday and Saturday schedules for this weekend as below, as well as the broadcast/streaming schedule.
