The duo recently confirmed a three-round AMA-sanc- tioned indoor extreme off-road rac- ing series for 2019 and now will be able to build on the recognized name that Peronnard created in 2004. "We are happy to keep the EnduroCross name and series alive and aim to make it better than ever over the coming years," said Eric Peronnard, the creator of EnduroCross. "The EnduroCross name is well-known, and the social media channels have a strong following, so we are thrilled to be able to build on this," said Tod Hammock, the promoter of the Kicker Arenacross series.
