DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 14, 2014) - AMA Pro Racing is pleased to announce the addition of two historic Grand National Championship events to the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule.

The world's top dirt track racing talent will return to the Du Quoin Mile at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds for the first time in nearly a decade on July 4. AMA Pro Flat Track last raced at the Du Quoin Mile in 2005, where Chris Carr took his only career victory on the "Magic Mile" to conclude his seventh and final championship-winning season.

One week later, the series will return to the legendary Indy Mile at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on July 11. Both events will feature the fastest dirt track motorcycle racers in the world competing aboard twin-cylinder machines in the premier GNC1 division, with the up-and-coming stars of the sport also showing their mettle on the twins in the GNC2 class. The two races, along with both stops at the Springfield Mile, make four GNC2 twins events in 2015.

"With the announcement of both the Du Quoin Mile and the Indy Mile, we have taken another step toward creating the most exciting 2015 Grand National Championship possible for fans," said Michael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. "Both events are steeped in history and have been known to feature some of the best racing on the calendar. Fans in the grandstands and those tuning in on FansChoice.tv can expect a great show."

The two events, which are being promoted by the highly experienced and successful event promotion company Family Events, brings the 2015 schedule to 14 rounds, including five Mile events.
