SpeedTV will be upping its coverage of the 2011 Supercross season. Feld Motor Sports announced today that the 11 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross races will be broadcast live on SpeedTV.
SpeedTV will broadcast the following Supercross races live during the 2012 season; Anaheim Race 1, Phoenix, San Diego, Arlington, Atlanta, St. Louis, Daytona, Indianapolis, Toronto, Seattle and Las Vegas.
"The last few seasons of Monster Energy Supercross on SPEED have provided great storylines and fantastic racing," said SPEED President Hunter Nickell. "Being able to deliver a record number of races live on SPEED in 2012 is a testament to the growing interest in the series and the commitment to continue that growth by our partners at Feld Motor Sports and the team here at SPEED."
For the races that won't be broadcast live, CBS will cover them the following day. CBS will provide coverage for the races in Los Angeles, Oakland, Anaheim (Race 2), Houston, New Orleans and Salt Lake City the day after the race.
CBS will also be airing a Monster Energy Supercross season preview on December 25th at 2:00 p.m., a mid-season special on February 26th, and a Supercross season recap on May 5th.
"On the heels of the greatest season ever, the increase in live coverage on SPEED, and the network coverage on CBS Sports is another step forward for the sport," said Charlie Mancuso, president, Feld Motor Sports. "This elevates the riders, the sponsors and the sport to a higher level and provides the loyal fans the most comprehensive television package Monster Energy Supercross has ever had."
