Amateur ATV ice racers from across the country will compete in Wausau, Wis., Feb. 10 at the 2018 AMA ATV Ice Race Grand Championship, battling to be crowned an AMA National champion.

“The AMA ATV Ice Race Grand Championship features the country’s fastest amateur ATV racers competing aboard highly modified, purpose-built machines that allow them to race on an oval course,” said Ken Saillant, AMA track racing manager. “The AMA is excited to team up with the Wausau 525 Group to host this year’s event and to award AMA National No. 1 plates to class winners.”

Racers also will be competing for two prestigious awards: AMA ATV Ice Racer or the Year—which recognizes the most impressive rider on the ice—and the AMA ATV Youth Ice Racer of the Year.

“Quad and motorcycle ice oval racing has a huge presence in our area,” said Cara Spatz, Wausau 525 Group operations director. “The Wausau 525 Group is thrilled to be teaming up with the AMA to bring a national ice event to the Wausau 525 Track and to be able to offer these racers their own, much deserved event at our track.”

ATV ice racing is incredibly popular in the Midwest, particularly in Wisconsin, and attracts dozens of racers from across the nation to the area every winter.

The 2018 AMA Ice Race Grand Championship for motorcycle competitors will be held at a separate event in Cadillac, Mich. on Feb. 2-4.
