SATURDAY NIGHTLIGHTS

AFTER TWO YEARS OF EMPTY STADIUMS, STOP-START EVENTS AND GENERAL COVID INTERRUPTIONS, 2022 LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE FULL STEAM AHEAD AND BACK TO A MORE REGULAR SCHEDULE

The AMA Supercross Championship is the richest, highest-profile, most attended and most prestigious dirtbike series in the world. MXGP has the tradition and the history, but the US-based supercross series — held before massive crowds in stadiums across the country, with TV beamed out around the world and the usual US-style hype — is what all eyes focus on and all riders want to win.
