AMERICAN MOTORCYCLIST JANUARY 2019
AMA and MotoAmerica to continue partnership through 2029
North American Series To Continue Operating AMA Superbike Championship
The AMA and MotoAmerica have signed a Letter of Intent for the North American series to continue operating the AMA Superbike Championship through the 2029 season.
The announcement was made at 2018 MotoAmerica Night of Champions on Oct. 11 in Las Vegas. The extension will add five additional years to the original five-year sanctioning agreement that was signed in 2014 and provides the possibility for a further five-year extension.
As the sanctioning body for MotoAmerica, the AMA approves and enforces the rules of competition, licenses riders and crew members, and approves production motorcycles for competition, along with other organizational responsibilities.
As the promoting organization, MotoAmerica secures dates and venues, negotiates sponsorships, manages the fan experience, develops viewership, and works closely with the AMA to establish and maintain a class structure that best showcases both motorcycles and the racers who pilot them.
