AMA announces 2009 AMA Racing ATV Extreme Dirt Track National Championship Series schedule

PICKERINGTON, Ohio December 23, 2008: The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today the 2009 schedule for the AMA Racing ATV Extreme Dirt Track National Championship Series. Kicking off on May 30 in Ava, Mo., the series features the country's top ATV dirt-track racers and will award national titles in a number of age-, skill- and machine-based classes.

"The only thing more fun than watching these guys kick their ATVs sideways inches apart at the end of a long straightaway, spraying rooster tails like you would not believe is going out there and doing it yourself," said AMA Flat-Track Director Ken Saillant. "This year's schedule offers our valued racers a nice mix of venues that will test their skills almost as much as the competition on the track. We can't wait to get started."

The initial round will be at the Ozark Mountain ATV Raceway in Ava, Mo., on May 30. The series will make stops in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Illinois before the finale at the I-81 Speedway in Greeneville, Tenn., on Sept. 19.
