2020 Arlington Supercross | Race Preview

2020 ARLINGTON SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE
It’s time for the 2020 Arlington Supercross, round eight of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series. We’re in for a great day of action at AT&T Stadium as the track crew has come up with a layout that should make for close racing in tonight’s Triple Crown events. What sticks out about the course? How about the longest whoop section of recent memory (the 16 rollers measured out to be around 200-feet long), a wall jump that will allow riders to stay low and put the power to the ground or huck a huge leap, and very tacky red Texas clay.
We’re hustling through the stadium right now to get ready for the first laps of practice, so scan through the entry list and injury report below, look at the course map, press play on our press day riding video and interviews, and set the reminder for tonight’s TV time.
As always, follow our social media accounts for even more from the track.
