2020 EnduroCross Championship Update
T
he EnduroCross team is
evaluating all options to
organize a six-race AMA Cham-
pionship series for 2020. The
priority is the health and safety of
the riders, fans and support staff
involved with racing and putting
on the events. The team is work-
ing with the various venues and
assessing the federal, state and
local guidelines, which varies by
location, to determine the pos-
sibilities for hosting EnduroCross
events. The goal is to have
multiple locations with at least
some fans in attendance but if
that is not possible, options for
multiple events at one or more
locations are being considered.
The series will run in the tradi-
tional time period of late-August
to mid-November.
"The coronavirus pandemic
has changed everything and
things seem to change every
day," said Tod Hammock, the
president and founder of Cycle
City Promotions. "We are doing
everything we can to create the
best series possible while ad-
dressing the necessary safety
protocols. The ability to have
fans or not weighs into the plans
and we could use one or more
venue without fans if neces-
sary. Either way, we are aiming
to have live pay-per-view online
video coverage of all six events
to make it possible for more fans
to watch the racing live. We are
aiming to announce the final
schedule in the first week of July
to give everybody time to pre-
pare for the season."
Rockstar Husqvarna's Colton
Haaker is returning to defend his
championship and Cody Webb
has joined the FactoryONE
Sherco team to try to get anoth-
er title of his own. Each of them
has won three championships
and is aiming for a fourth. CN
Plans are in
the works
for a six-race
championship for
the 2020 AMA
EnduroCross
Series.
