The excitement of the 2010 AMA Arenacross Series is just around the corner, but before the intense competition of the new year is officially underway, fans will have the chance to get a taste of the bar-banging action this weekend at the second annual Des Moines Prequel Race from Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.
$11,000 in prize money is on the line for several of the world’s best arenacross racers as they compete for bragging rights in a sneak peek of what lies ahead for the upcoming year.
The man behind the scenes that is responsible for the unforgettable, jaw dropping action of the AMA Arenacross Series is Director of Operations Jayme Dalsing. For the second year, one of most beloved venues in AMA Arenacross Series history serves as the site for what is arguably the most exciting race of the year with no pressure or points and nothing but cash on the line when the gates drop on Saturday night.
We caught up with Dalsing to ask him what the dedicated Iowa fans can expect to see this weekend and for the highly-anticipated 2010 season.
Jayme, last season was a great year for the AMA Arenacross Series and featured a first-time champion in Jeff Gibson. What can fans expect to see in 2010 and will Jeff be coming back to defend his title?
2010 is shaping up to be another great year. We have heard a lot of interest from current and former supercross racers as well as our top Arenacross riders from the past few years. One of the great things about Arenacross is the fact that year after year we have had 7 – 10 different main event winners in each season.
Jeff has committed to coming back and seems very determined to defend his title. I think we’ll see a great list of guys lining up at Grand Rapids aiming at that number one.
