PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The sideways, full-throttle action of the 2015 AMA Speedway National Championship Series will kick-off on May 30 at Costa Mesa Speedway in Costa Mesa, Calif.

"Costa Mesa Speedway is excited to be hosting Round 1 of the series," promoters Brad and Jaleen Oxley said. "We look forward to working closely with the AMA and our fellow promoters to assure continued growth and success of this important race series."

"We are delighted to be returning to promote a round at Ventura Raceway for the third consecutive year," Jim Naylor and Cliff Morgan, promoters for Ventura Raceway said. "Given that the series is now the route into the British league and world championship speedway, it is more important than ever that it visits our European-sized track."

With 20 heat races, two semi-final races and one final at each venue, only the best will rise to the top. Some of the greats of speedway racing to compete include 2014 series champion Billy Janniro, along with Max Ruml, Charlie Venegas, Billy Hamill and Bart Bast to name a few.
