The next race for the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour, scheduled for next weekend at South Fork Dirt Riders, kicks off a Midwest swing for the Nation's premier ATV championship racing series. The Jack Link's Feed Your Wild Side ATV Championship in Illinois will be the first of two races in America's Heartland, with an event scheduled for later this month at Wild Cat Creek MX, just outside Indianapolis.

"Despite rumors to the contrary, the Illinois event is a go, and we're looking forward to bringing our brand of ATV racing to the Midwest," said PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. CEO Rick Murphy. "Illinois and Indiana remain key markets for us, and we think our made-for-ESPN2 show will be exciting for both riders and fans, alike.

"Unfounded rumors are detrimental to the sport, generally" added Murphy. "Our press office is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we urge anyone with questions to contact us."

Along with QuadMX and QuadTerrain Challenge events, featuring some of ATV Racing's top pros, including John Natalie, Jr., Doug Gust, Jeremiah Jones, Daryl Rath and many others, the Illinois race will also showcase several opportunities for fans to sample products from weekend title sponsor Jack Link's Meat Snacks. Jack Link's is the "Official Meat Snack" of the PowerSports ATV Tour.

The Jack Link's Feed Your Wild Side ATV Championship is scheduled for next Saturday and Sunday, July 8-9 at South Fork Dirt Riders. The event will be telecast on ESPN2 on Saturday, July 15, at noon EDT.
