MotoAmerica Cancels VIR Round
M
otoAmerica announced that
it has been forced to cancel
the MotoAmerica Superbikes at
Virginia event scheduled for May
1-3 at VIRginia International Race-
way due to the ongoing Covid-19
pandemic and the Governor of
Virginia's stay-at-home order set to
end June 10.
Although MotoAmerica and VIR
worked diligently to find an alterna-
tive date, the task proved impossi-
ble. MotoAmerica, however, is still
working toward holding a 10-event
schedule.
Currently, the 2020 MotoAmer-
ica Series is scheduled to begin
May 29-31 with Road America in
Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, with the
Superbikes at Road America and
the Vintage Motofest event.
"We worked hard with VIR
to try and find a new date once
Governor Northam extended the
stay-at-home order to June 10,
but we couldn't make it work and
have been forced to cancel," said
MotoAmerica President Wayne
Rainey. "Not being able to race at
VIR in 2020 was not something
we ever imagined, but then again
we never thought we'd be faced
with something like Covid-19. We
will continue to work towards a
10-event schedule for 2020 and
will keep everyone posted mov-
ing forward. In the meantime, we
urge our fans, teams and riders to
continue to do the right things to
keep them safe and healthy."
Customers who have already
purchased tickets for Superbikes
at Virginia may transfer the pur-
chase to MotoAmerica race events
at New Jersey Motorsports Park,
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
and Barber Motorsports Park, or
receive a refund of ticket price,
excluding ticketing fees. CN
