American Superbike racing will adopt a cost-containment strategy in 2014, featuring a new scaled back format at select events next year.

A two-day format will be introduced as an alternate option in AMA Pro Racing, with remaining rounds retaining the conventional three-day structure.

“Although the weekend format will be condensed at certain events in 2014, fans can still expect the same great racing action and entertainment value from our valued promoter partners,” said Michael Gentry, CEO of AMA Pro Racing.

“We’re thankful for the valuable input we have received from our major stakeholders as we have formulated this plan and look forward to debuting the new format to the fans next season.”

Of the events already announced as part of the 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing calendar, New Jersey Motorsports Park will feature the new format, and the track is already working on plans to deliver the same excellent fan experience to those in attendance.

“New Jersey Motorsports Park is excited to be a part of this new weekend format which will allow our fans to take part in non-stop racing excitement condensed into two days,” said circuit general manager Brad Scott.

“This unique doubleheader race weekend will be packed with both on-track and off-track activities from Saturday morning to late Sunday afternoon.”

The 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing season will kick off once again at Daytona International Speedway on 13-15 March.
