SEASON-ENDING AMA CHEVY TRUCKS U.S. MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT TO BE TELECAST THIS WEEKEND

ESPN2 to Broadcast Final 250 Round Sunday at 1 p.m. EST

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Sept. 5, 2003) — Round 11 of the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Motocross Championship (250 class) will air on ESPN2 Sunday, Sept. 7. The 125 race will air one week later Sunday, Sept. 14. Additionally, each race will be re-aired.

The event from Steel City Raceway in Delmont, Pa., was supposed to be the penultimate round in the series. Unfortunately, the final round was cancelled due to excessive rains and flooding at the facility set to host the last event, Kenworthy’s Motocross Park in Troy, Ohio. As the Troy event had already been postponed once for the same reasons, extending the season even longer was impossible.

Both the 125 and 250 championships were decided at Steel City.

Original and repeat airtimes are as follows (All times EST. Check local listings):

9/7/03, Sunday, 1 p.m.: 250 class original broadcast

9/14/03, Sunday, 1 p.m.: 125 class original broadcast

9/18/03, Thursday, 5 p.m.: 250 class re-air

9/19/03, Friday, 5 p.m.: 125 class re-air
