As it stands now, the series will begin at VIRginia International Raceway on May 1-3. "We are all in this together as everyone in the world is affected in some way by Covid-19," MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey said. "There are a lot of people who are struggling right now on so many levels. Even though racing motorcycles doesn't rank highly on the list of problems going on in our world, our teams and our racetracks rely on racing because it's their livelihood. With that being said, racing right now just isn't pos- sible. However, we've been working with the good people at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to find an alternative date and we're happy that with their help we've been able to obtain the July 31-August 2 weekend." Also, Indianapolis Motor Speedway has an- nounced it has rescheduled the Indy 500 to Au- gust 23. To accommodate the change, MotoAmeri- ca has rescheduled its Superbikes at the Brickyard event to October 9-11. Click here for the latest racing cancelations and rescheduled updates.
