Feld Motor Sports announced today that the Army National Guard has
increased their sponsorship with the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an
FIM World Championship, as the exclusive on-site military sponsor of the
2015 season that begins January 4 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
"We are very excited to have grown our relationship with the Army
National Guard for the up-coming season,“ said Dave Muye, Sr. Director
Sponsorship & Strategic Alliances, Feld Entertainment. “Their
interactive footprint in the pits and color guard presentation to start
the show are great additions to the fan experience. We look forward to
welcoming many current and future Army National Guard members to Monster
Energy Supercross."
During the 2013 season, the National Guard participated in four races,
and 2014-2015 marks their first year as a season-long partner of Monster
Energy Supercross. The National Guard will have a large presence during
the Pit Party and fans are encouraged to visit their interactive
display.
The National Guard activation site will provide interactive
opportunities for the fans to experience. It will include a pull up, sit
up contest and the punching bag challenge. Each fan participating in
the National Guard
events will have the chance to receive “National
Guard” giveaways. There will also be National Guard Recruiting
Representatives on site to answer questions and explain the
opportunities available to young men and women interested in serving
their country as well as discuss National Guard college scholarships.
The races will air live on the FOX Sports family of networks – 13 of
which will be on FOX Sports 1 and the other four on FOX Sports 2. If you
miss the live race, there will be two repeat airings on FOX Sports 2
for the 13 live races and a repeat on Sunday on FOX Sports 1 for the
remaining four races that aired live on FOX Sports 2.
In addition to all of the live race coverage, there will be nine hours of additional programming, including the Supercross Special programs, season preview, season review, and two hours from the East Rutherford, New Jersey, round on CBS.
For those who rely on the web, there are three hours (from 2-5 p.m.
local time) of live streaming from each race on Supercross LIVE!, where
Jim Holley and Kevin Barnett will provide insider analysis from practice
and qualifying. Also available online is the live streaming of the
season opening press conference at Angel Stadium on Thursday January 2
at 3 p.m. ET on www.SupercrossOnline.com. The featured riders at that
press conference are three-time AMA Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto,
Ryan Dungey, James Stewart, Chad Reed, Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen and Wil
Hahn.
