ATV TOUR RELEASES UPDATED 2008 EVENT SCHEDULE
WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN (January 21, 2008)
-- The
WPSA has released an updated event schedule for
the 2008 PowerSports ATV Championship Tour. The
schedule features eight event venues, two of
which will host double header race weekends to
accommodate the 10 round WPSA Pro450 MX
Championship and the Pro Stock Quad Terrain
Championship series. The PowerSports ATV Tour
Amateur Championships will be contested during
the eight event season with one throw-out race
available to the amateur competitors. This will
result in a “Best of Seven Races” final scoring
format for the amateur and youth classes.
“We worked closely with our sponsors, our
riders and other circuits to create a schedule
that minimizes conflicts with school obligations
and other racing series so that our racers can
maximize their seat time and sponsorship
exposure throughout the year,” said PowerSports
Entertainment, Inc. CEO Rick Murphy. “Several
new venues have been added that we feel enhance
our ability to provide a high quality racing
experience for the racers, families, friends and
fans. We have also taken into consideration the
positioning of the ATV Championship Tour in
larger markets so that we can expand the fan
base and reach a broader audience.”
Scott O’Malley, President of PowerSports
Entertainment, Inc. stated, “We’re pleased to
welcome back the Pro and Amateur teams that have
been with us for the last two seasons. This year
we expect to see new teams for Can AM and
Polaris racing for the Pro 450MX championship,
as well as new teams for Suzuki and Polaris in
Pro Stock Quad Terrain. With six manufacturers
represented in the chase for the Pro 450MX crown
and two new factories bidding for the QTC
championship there is certainly going to be some
entertaining racing action for the fans at the
events and our TV audiences at home.”
