FIRST FIVE RIDERS FOR U.S. SUPERPRESTIGIO ANNOUNCED
A
MA Pro Flat Track's finest—
Jared Mees, Brad Baker,
Kenny Coolbeth, Jr., Jake
Johnson and Bryan Smith—have
been announced as the first five
invitees to the much anticipated
Superprestigio of the Americas.
The first of its kind in the U.S.,
will be held on an indoor short
track at the Orleans Hotel & Ca-
sino in Las Vegas on Saturday,
November 21.
"We are happy to announce
the original five riders to be in-
vited to the first ever Superpres-
tigio of the Americas," said SMI
President Steve McLaughlin.
"Jared, Brad, Kenny, Jake and
Bryan represent five of the most
elite motorcycle racers in the
world and for anyone to become
a Superprestigio winner, they'll
likely have to go through one of
these guys.
"Flat track is the original ex-
treme sport so it's only appro-
priate we bring this race to Las
Vegas, and with these champion
riders coming to the Orleans for
the inaugural Superprestigio of
the Americas, fans are guaran-
teed to see some intense and
entertaining racing."
Two-time and reigning AMA
Pro Grand National Champion
Jared Mees looks forward to the
event, which immediately follows
the season finale in Las Vegas.
"I'm looking forward to racing
in Las Vegas," said Mees, who
rides with sponsorship from Las
Vegas Harley-Davidson. "The
Grand National Championship
will be decided, so everyone
will be able to go out and just
race without having to worry
about points. It will be fun to
race against the guys I go up
against week after week, as well
as mixing in with top riders from
other types of racing. It should
be a blast."
Spots are still open for ad-
ditional AMA Pro Grand National
riders to qualify and some of
those won't be decided until the
night before the event. CN
ensure access for OHVs in the area into the future.
The bill would also designate 21,000 acres as the
Joaquin Rocks Wilderness. The bill was introduced
to Congress on April 16, and has since been re-
ferred to the Subcommittee on Federal Lands.
The Americans for Responsible Recreational
Access (ARRA) and the Blue Ribbon Coalition
(BRC) have issued action alerts, encouraging off-
roaders to help support the bill by reaching out to
Congressional Representatives and asking them
to support H.R. 1838.
