November 18, 2013 (Haines City, FL) – The last event of the year for Freestone Raceway is actually not at Freestone; its in Haines City, Florida. For the second year in a row, the class champions of the AMA Spring Championship are invited to ride at the 100 acre spread of James Stewart’s (aka: the Ponderosa) for the JS7 Champions Ride Day this Wednesday, November 20th. Additionally, a few riders were chosen as “Hard Luck” invitees that might have missed a championship if not for some adversities.
“This was James’ idea to give back to the sport” said Tom Shields, Marketing Director. “James knows that a strong family is key to a riders success and his entire family participates in the Champions Ride Day (CRD). Our sport is driven by family participation and the Stewart’s are happy to share the fruits of their labor.” Shields went on to say “Its a great time of year to be in Florida and it only makes since to have riders come to James right before the amateur calendar is complete.”
The CRD will be this Wednesday, November 20th and precedes the American Motocross Championship event at Gatorback (Mini O’s) in Gainesville.
