Registration Open for the Second Annual FLY Racing
ATV Supercross at Daytona International Speedway
Much Anticipated Stop Returns on the 2016 Circuit
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (December 2, 2015) – MX Sports Pro Racing and the ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG) is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Second Annual FLY Racing ATV Supercross, sanctioned by AMA, taking place on March 8, 2016 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. This event also serves as the opening round of the 2016 AMA Pro Racing ATV Motocross National Championship.
ATVMX will take center stage for its season opener following the opening weekend of “Bike Week” in 2016 that will feature the renowned Daytona Supercross by Honda on Saturday, March 5, and the popular Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross on Sunday, March 6, and Monday, March 7. The track on the infield of the speedway is legendary for its challenging terrain and demanding nature and is often considered to be a hybrid of a motocross and supercross track.
“After the overwhelming support for the inaugural ATVSX last year, we are excited to be able to bring this event back not only to the racers, but also to the fans,” said Tim Cotter, director of MX Sports. “The supercross track will be designed to fully accommodate ATVs making it a great way to kick off the 2016 season.”
Following a widely successful inaugural year, the event will implement an elimination format that mimics a true supercross style via heats, an LCQ, and main event for the AMA Pro ATV Class, rather than a pair of motos that determines an overall classification.
Unique from the other rounds of the ATVMX season, Daytona will have a limited class line-up of 20 classes including youth, amateur and pro-am classes to accompany the premier AMA Pro ATV Class. However, only professional competition will account for points towards the championship.

ATVSX competition will return to RacerTV.com on March 8, 2016 for live broadcasts, giving race fans across the world the opportunity to tune in and watch their favorite racers battle for a number one plate.
