Feld Entertainment packed the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Series schedule with details and information, including confirmation that Supercross Futures would not be a part of the 17-round tour.
“With the recent announcement of the Monster Energy Supercross 2021 season schedule, we want to inform our Supercross Futures competitors that events will not take place in conjunction with our stadium events this year,” Instead, Supercross Futures will be partnering with the AMA national championship at Loretta Lynn’s and additional AMA Major Championship events throughout 2021 to host the Road to Supercross platform. “
The Supercross Futures races, which are run by Feld Entertainment and are recognized as the official AMA national championship, have become a very popular and profitable program for the company. Designed as a way to help amateurs learn the technique of Supercross and earn their professional license, Supercross Futures grew from four rounds in 2018 to eight rounds in 2019, thanks in part to the competitor turnout in the recreational classes.
Because amateur riders will still need to score a set number of points to earn their professional license, Feld Entertainment and Supercross Futures will be partnering with the AMA national championship at Loretta Lynn’s and additional AMA Major Championship events throughout 2021 to host the Road to Supercross platform.
