AMA Pro Racing Awards Banquet returns to Las Vegas, Saturday, Nov. 22
The 29th annual AMA Pro Racing Awards Banquet will be held at
the Rio Suites Hotel & Casino on Saturday evening, Nov. 22.
Honoring top riders in American motorcycle racing, the
celebration has become one of the premiere events in the
motorcycle industry and is a who's who of top riders and
industry luminaries.
The top three riders from AMA Supercross, Motocross, Flat
Track, Superbike and Supermoto as well as the champions of
Hillclimb and Drag Racing will be recognized. Additionally, the
AMA Pro Racing Speed Channel Athlete of the Year will be
crowned. Multi-time AMA Motocross and AMA Supercross Champion
Ricky Carmichael was last year's recipient of the prestigious
award.
According to Scott Hollingsworth, CEO of AMA Pro Racing, the
evening promises to be filled with fun and surprises.
"We've worked hard to improve the show presentation,"
said Hollingsworth. "Many felt last year's show was the
best yet and this year our plan is to improve it even more.
Hosts Dave Despain, David Sadowski and Cameron Steele will once
again emcee the festivities and all the top riders will be there
to receive their awards. It will be a fitting finish to a
another terrific racing season."
A number of additional events are being held in conjunction
with the banquet including the finale of the AMA Red Bull
Supermoto Championship, Friday night, Nov. 21.
