AMA Pro Won’t Race At Sonoma In 2013

Sonoma Raceway in California will not host an AMA Pro Road Racing event during the 2013 motor-racing season, track officials announced today.

“This facility has a long tradition of professional motorcycle racing and this was a very difficult decision. It’s particularly disappointing because the competition over the last few years has been outstanding and we’re sorry we won’t be able to bring this show back for our fans," said Steve Page, president and general manager of the raceway.

Page said the venue is keeping the door open to future events if the proper level of sponsorship and industry support can be secured.
