With just one event left in the 2011 AMA Supercross Championship, the AMA is already thinking ahead to next year. Feld Motorsports announced the 2012 AMA Supercross championship schedule today, which will feature a new event at Louisiana’s Superdome in New Orleans.

The 2011 Supercross Championship is well within reach of Ryan Villopoto. If Villopoto can manage a top five finish this weekend in Las Vegas, he will become the 2011 AMA Supercross champion. The championship truly is Villopoto’s to lose.

Ryan Villopoto is one win away from capturing the 2011 Supercross championship. Villopoto won the penultimate race of the 2011 racing season, extending his lead to 9 points above Chad Reed.

The end is near. The penultimate race of the 2011 Supercross season will happen this weekend in Salt Lake, City. The battle at the top is extremely tight, with four riders within 9 points of one another.

James Stewart has had an up and down season. After suffering his longest losing streak in his career, Stewart scored back to-back-wins at St. Louis and Seattle, and is now just 9 points behind the season leader, Ryan Villopoto.
