SONOMA, California – Motocross racing makes its return to Infineon Raceway during the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, May 16-18. More than 500 riders are expected for the event, which is hosted by Wine Country Motocross.

The hills behind Turn 7 will come alive with 30 classes of competition, with riders battling for a pro purse of $25,000. This marks the first motocross event at Infineon Raceway since 2002 (Sonomafest).

The professionally-designed 1.3-mile course has been created with more than 100,000 yards of dirt and features a challenging combination of natural terrain and supercross-style elements. It even has a pedestrian tunnel for fans to access the incredible trackside and Sonoma Valley views.

Featuring a new 40-rider starting gate, paved pit area, live entertainment, factory participation and vendors, this will likely be the start of a new tradition at Infineon Raceway during AMA weekend.

Action gets started with practice on Friday, May 16, with races slated for both Saturday and Sunday. For more information or to register, be sure to visit www.winecountrymx.com.

Children 12 and under are admitted free and parking is free. All tickets include access to the pits. The race weekend will also feature the AMA Superbike Series on the 12-turn road course, as well as Supermoto USA and SBFreaks Street Freestyle competition.
