2020 MONSTER ENERGY CUP CANCELED
Feld Entertainment announced the cancellation of the 2020 Monster Energy Cup which came as no surprise to many of those in the know. It was originally planned for Saturday, October 10th at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California as opposed to the typical Sam Boyd Stadium. Unfortunately for race fans, the non-stop development of the COVID-19 pandemic has made things difficult for Feld as they’ve admitted finding a venue has been challenging in the midst of other sports leagues simultaneously resuming and starting play. Last year produced an immense battle between Monster Energy Kawasaki teammates, Adam Cianciarulo and Eli Tomac, but if fans want to see the two battle it out on track then they’ll have to attend any of the select Lucas Oil Pro Motocross rounds that are allowing spectators. Below is the entire press release from Feld Entertainment regarding the cancellation of the event:
Monster Energy Supercross was the first pro sport to successfully complete the 2020 season with an adjusted schedule this year. The goal was to bring live racing to fans and crown three new champions in a safe environment. Without fans in attendance for the final 7 races, Supercross continued to have a strong presence on both TV and digital platforms. Viewership was up 29% in 2020 and Supercross was one of the most popular programs on NBCSN in the first quarter. Over 2.4 million fans visited SupercrossLIVE, while over 5.5 million people followed a Supercross social platform generating over 18.8 million social engagements during the season.
Feld Motor Sports continues to look towards the future for Supercross fans and its athletes and is eager for next season. Unfortunately, the Monster Energy Cup that had been scheduled for October 10 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA will not be feasible this year, due to other leagues starting their seasons and the difficulty of securing an appropriate location to host the event in the fall. In conjunction with the Monster Energy Cup, the 2020 Supercross Futures AMA National Championship will also be canceled.
