Monster Energy Cup - Ricky Carmichael on the 2012 Monster Energy Cup Track

Take a look at the behind-the-scenes planning of the 2012 Monster Energy Cup track at Ricky Carmichael's house.




Feld Motor Sports® announced the creation of an inaugural event called the Monster Energy Cup, which posts a purse of a quarter-of-a-million dollars and a potential $1 million bonus, that will take place at Las Vegas' Sam Boyd Stadium on October 20. This invitation-only race will showcase the world's top supercross racers.

This lucrative event posts a $250,000 purse with the winner walking away with a $100,000 check, and for the "first time ever" a shot at $1 million. The Monster Million will be awarded to the winner of all three main events.

"The Monster Energy Cup is designed around a racing format that will challenge the racers unlike any other supercross event featuring an epic endurance challenge of a three-stage. 30-lap main event," said Todd Jendro, senior director of two wheel operations, Feld Motor Sports. "This newly created format incorporates three main events, where riders will engage in three races, battling for rights to win the inaugural Monster Energy Cup. The event will feature a one-class format, offering riders the option to choose the bike of their choice, including 250-450cc four strokes or 125cc and 250cc two strokes. The unique "all in" option presents riders with maximum flexibility, manufacturers with a variety of set-up options and the perfect showcase for supercross fans."

The unique hybrid track will consist of supercross/motocross terrain and will have a tremendous motocross-style influence, making it unlike any other stadium race in the world. This track will be the perfect blend of supercross and motocross combined and created into the ultimate battleground.

"We wanted to create a spectacular standalone event that we knew would excite the fans, riders, teams and media," said Bruce Stjernstrom, Monster Energy's Vice President of Sports Marketing. "With a million dollars up for the taking - and with the world's best riders all expected to attend - the Monster Energy Cup will be a race no one will want to miss."

[wiithepeople2]

To those doing the fat jokes:

How many AMA Motocross titles have you won?

[MrSnapy1]

Fat ? Hell no that's healthy no one should ever question the GOAT's physical condition.He trained harder then anyone for years and years....He deserves to be healthy!!

Besides he can still smoke half the guys out there ...maybe not for 20 laps lol but his skill is there!

Actually he prolly just does upper body workouts cardio is what sux's he looks stocky if you ask me.

[IonizedHT]

This layout looks so unique, esspecially with the split start. Havn't seen one of those in years.

[jronson22]

He's entitled to a some pounds. Man, that guy puts on weight looking at a burger. He trained like an animal for years and would be fitter than any of you goons commenting on his weight. He'd still smoke 99% of riders as well.
