Unprecedented ATV motocross television coverage is coming this weekend to the Outdoor Life Network. Racer Productions, in conjunction with Gear Media Inc. (GMMI) and Ehlert Publishing, the producers of ATV Sport Magazine, will broadcast the 21st annual ATVA Dirt Days ATV National Motocross Championships from Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. The 30-minute race coverage of the event will air on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday.
The 30-minute format should provide the most indepth coverage ever for an ATV motocross event. The show highlights the battle for the overall between two Honda riders: local favorite Joe Byrd and 2005 ATVA ITP/Moose GNC MX Series Champion John Natalie, as well as an amazing ride for Pat Brown, and the battle for second overall in the final standings between Suzuki teammates Doug Gust and Jeremiah Jones.
The entire ATVA ITP/Moose GNC MX Series is broadcast on ATV Sport Magazine TV throughout the summer, but the special-edition coverage of the Dirt Days finale at Loretta Lynn's will provide a new angle and more extensive coverage since the entire show is dedicated to racing.
The Dirt Days National serves as the final round of the 12-stop ATVA-sanctioned Moose/ITP National Motocross Series - the largest ATV motocross series in the world. The fastest pro racers on four wheels compete along with amateurs of all ages in 29 different classes. Racing takes place on a custom-built track at Loretta Lynn's Ranch, complete with jumps, bumps, berms and high-speed straight-aways and obstacles. With sponsors including Moose, ITP, Scott, ATV Sport, FMF, Weekend Warrior, Krank-It, ATVNationals.com, Hinson, ATV Racin' Extra, Outerwears, ATVScene.com, Maxxis, Laeger's, Bling Star, Division 4, Legacy, JRD Racing, Walsh Race Craft, LSR, Terry Racing, Hardkore Engineering, Denton Racing, MotoTees and Kymco USA, the top racers make a lucrative living racing ATVs on the tour.
The show is hosted by veteran announcing duo Rodney Tomblin and Jason Weigandt.
