Rockstar
Energy Drink U.S. Open to Air on CBS Sports
AURORA,
Ill. (October 6, 2008) - The Rockstar Energy Drink U.S.
Open, from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena, will once
again air on CBS Sports Saturday, October 18 from 1:30-3:00
p.m. (EST). This year's broadcast format will not only
show the exciting racing action at the MGM Grand Garden
Arena, but will also include many features on the riders
themselves.
Feature
driven, the 90 minute package will capture the two-nights
of racing action and will also focus on the development
of the riders' personalities on and off the track. The
show will give network viewers and longstanding fans
a unique look inside the 2008 Rockstar Energy Drink
U.S. Open. In addition, the broadcast will follow all
of the emerging racing stories, including the Trifecta,
the legends rematch race between Jeff Matiasevich and
Damon Bradshaw and the 85cc Mini Invitational.
"This
is the 10th anniversary of the Rockstar Energy Drink
U.S. Open, and we are putting together what we believe
is the best television package in the history of the
race," said Todd Jendro, senior director of supercross,
Feld Motor Sports. "Last year our television viewers
were treated to arguably the most exciting races in
the history of this event. Plus, our revised format
will treat viewers to a behind-the-scenes look at the
stars of the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open."
