AMA: 'Like a Rock' challenge tied to US Superbike Doubleheaders

11 March 2000

     PICKERINGTON, Ohio --  Doubleheader race weekends are notoriously

tough on AMA Superbike pilots and their machines.  Riders and teams carry

an extra load of physical and mental demands, and work double-time

throughout the weekend to ensure their race machines will go the distance.

There's also a potential to quickly gain -- or lose -- precious

championship points during a doubleheader race weekend.

     In short, doubleheader race weekends are owned by the rider who has

the stamina to hang tough throughout both races, and a machine he can

depend on.

     Chevy Trucks recognizes the extreme demands a doubleheader race

weekend places on riders and teams. As the manufacturer of the most

dependable, longest lasting trucks on the road, Chevy Trucks has created a

reward for the rider who demonstrates that he's the longest lasting, and

most dependable, throughout the three doubleheader race weekends of the AMA

Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship.

     Introducing the Chevy Trucks Like A Rock Challenge.

Format:
The Chevy Trucks Like A Rock Challenge will take place at 2000 AMA Chevy
Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship doubleheader rounds, to be held June 2-4
at Road Atlanta, in Braselton, Ga., June 9-11 at Road America in Elkhart
Lake, Wis., and July 14-16 at Mid-Ohio in Lexington, Ohio.

Rules / Eligibility:
To be eligible for the Chevy Trucks Like A Rock Challenge, a rider
competing in the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship must win at
least one of the six races comprising the three doubleheader rounds. Points
are paid down 10 places. The Like A Rock Challenge points are separate from
AMA championship points, and are not linked to or affect regular
championship standings in any way.

The rider who accumulates the most Like A Rock Challenge points, and has
won at least one of the six doubleheader races, will be awarded a new Chevy
Silverado pick up truck valued at $32,000. Since its introduction, the
Chevy Silverado has won 25 major automotive awards, including the J.D.
Power Appeal Award, confirming its status as the benchmark in pickup
trucks.

In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken based on the number of wins
in the Like A Rock Challenge. If that does not break the tie, the number of
second-place finishes in the Like A Rock Challenge will be compared, then
thirds, fourths, etc., until the tie is broken. If a tie remains, the best
finish of the last race will determine the winner.
