It will be an appropriate and exciting venue at which to wrap up the season.”

“We have received a lot of positive feedback since our announcement of the 2006 schedule last month,” said PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. CEO Rick Murphy. “The teams and the manufacturers are excited about the PowerSports ATV Tour and all are looking forward to participating. However, during these discussions, we realized we initially hadn’t allowed enough time for the teams and manufacturers to prepare appropriately. We also wanted to be conscious of other Series schedules so we could ensure our events wouldn’t pose any conflicts. So, we made the call to move the inaugural event to late May. The Kentucky venue is ideal for kicking off the season and we are looking forward to a successful and exciting race weekend.”
