Jam Sues AMA
According to an item in today's edition of the Orange County Register, AMA Pro Racing and Clear Channel Entertainment are getting set to announce a five-year agreement that will see CCE continue as the primary promoter of the 2003 AMA Supercross Series.
Register reporter Damian Dottore authored the piece, stating that the only snag in the program now appears to be what will come of CCE's agreement with Dorna to produce the World Supercross Series, which would supposedly run directly against the AMA series if the two sides fail to reach an agreement.
Dottore also reported that JamSports, the Chicago-based company that AMA Pro Racing had announced as its new promotional partner back in December, has filed a lawsuit against AMA Pro Racing in the Chicago court system, citing breach of contract. AMA Pro Racing officials that we contacted could neither confirm or deny the lawsuit.
We will report more on this story as it develops.
