The Western Regional AMA Supercross class will air on SPEED Saturday, February 2 at 6:00 p.m.

“The racing has been spectacular through three races this season and we’re looking forward to showing the national CBS Sports audience Monster Energy® Supercross in High-Definition technology for the first-time ever on network television,” said Ken Hudgens, vice president of marketing for Live Nation Motor Sports, Inc. “AT&T Park and the waterfront surroundings provide an outstanding backdrop for our sport on CBS Sports.
