AMA Pro Racing Press Release:
Riders aren’t the only members of the AMA Pro Flat Track family putting in extra work this off-season in preparation for when the season officially begins at DAYTONA Flat Track March 12 and 13.
In an effort to test new equipment and ensure the best viewer experience possible when the season begins, AMA Pro Racing and FansChoice.tv will broadcast the Southern Dirt Track Association (SDTA) race from Marion County Speedway in Ocala, Fla., on Feb. 21. Dirt track racing fans will be able to watch all the action live at FansChoice.tv, the same place where every event on the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule will be streamed live, in high definition and free of charge.
“We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Southern Dirt Track Association as we prepare for the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track season,” said Michael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. “Not only will fans get to see the exciting SDTA event live, but our FansChoice.tv crew will have a chance to ensure that we are ready to provide the best race broadcasts possible in 2015.”
SDTA’s first race this season saw professional riders such as Kenny Coolbeth Jr., Jeffery Carver Jr., and Johnny Lewis in the field, getting ready for Daytona.
“It’s great for the people that can’t make it,” Coolbeth said about having the race live streamed via the web. “At first, I thought (FansChoice.tv) might take fans away from coming to the races but it didn’t seem to in 2014 so I think it’s really been a blessing for our series. It’s awesome to be able to get our sport out there for the world to see.”
Shawn McNary, Managing Member of the Southern Dirt Track Association along with Ward Jones and Ray Delacqueseaux, has worked as an announcer for AMA Pro Flat Track as recently as the 2014 Grays Harbor Half-Mile and said he plans on using that experience to create a professional pre-race and in-race experience for fans at the track and watching live online.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to provide world-class coverage of our Florida-based amateur flat track organization,” said McNary.
Live streaming coverage will begin with pre-race interviews at 3:00 p.m. ET (12:00 noon PT) with practice at 4:00 p.m. ET (1:00 p.m. PT). The evening program of racing is slated to begin at 6:00 p.m. ET (3:00 p.m. PT). Log on and tune in at www.FansChoice.tv.
