Flat-Track Racing is set to open ESPN’s X Games Austin this evening Thursday June 2. In its second year as an X Games medaled event, Harley-Davidson Flat-Track Racing will feature top motorcycle racers from around the world going head-to-head on the challenging Circuit of The Americas dirt half-mile.
Competitors will race for the first gold medal awarded at this year’s X Games Austin and for a key to a new Harley-Davidson® Street® 750 motorcycle. The race will air live Thursday, June 2, on ESPN and ABC at 9 pm (CST). Harley-Davidson is an official sponsor of X Games Austin, taking place at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, June 2-5. Featuring some of the best skateboard, motorcycle and BMX competitors, plus nightly concert events, X Games Austin is one of the world’s premier action-sports festivals.
“Motorcycle flat track racing is arguably the original action sport,” said Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson U.S. Marketing Director. “The X Games provides a perfect showcase for this exhilarating motorsport and the skill and tremendous courage of these racer-athletes. Harley-Davidson is excited to be kicking off X Games Austin with the thrilling Harley-Davidson Flat-Track race. Then all weekend long, we will have a huge presence at X Games as we share our passion for competition and the freedom of the open road. Fans will want to be sure to check out our all-new XG750R flat track motorcycle, our first new flat tracker in over 40 years!”
Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® Factory Team riders Brad “The Bullet” Baker and Davis Fisher will be part of the field racing for X Games gold. Fisher, an 18-year-old racer from Warren, Ore., will be racing aboard the new Harley-Davidson XG750R motorcycle, a new competition flat tracker powered by the 750cc Revolution X™ V-Twin engine designed for the Harley-Davidson Street® 750. Tuned for the track, this modified Revolution X engine will power the new XG750R in the extreme heat of competition as it fights to be first to the finish line.
In 2015, Baker scored a podium finish at the inaugural Harley-Davidson Flat-Track event at X Games Austin, securing a bronze medal for his third-place finish aboard his Harley-Davidson XR750 motorcycle. Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Wrecking Crew riders Kenny Coolbeth Jr. and Jake Johnson, each a past AMA Grand National champion, will join Baker and Fisher on the entry list for the Harley-Davidson Flat Track event.
The G stands for “G” I wish I could buy one? The stock Street 750 is not a great looking bike and heavy too. ..Z
I miss the old X-Games sports like street luge, down-hill skate board racing, speed climbing, and motorcycle high jump.
The NBA finals are on ABC tonight, not the X games. The X games start live on ESPN at 8:30pm eastern, 7:30 central. Perhaps the flat track racing isn’t until 10pm eastern (9pm central)?
Everybody should check programming depending of where you live.
1½ hours into the show and no flat track racing-they’ve decided to try and talk us to death instead. Guess I’ll watch something else.
