Supercross is a form of indoor dirt bike racing and a newer version of
motocross, the sport’s original form. This
motorcycle racing sport involves off-road motorcycles on an artificially-made dirt track consisting of steep jumps and obstacles, whereas motocross takes place on long courses built on the dirt and terrain in natural environments.
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is held from January through early May, primarily taking place in
baseball and
football stadiums, or covered domes. One contest is held at
Daytona International Speedway, in the island that separates pit lane from the circuit. The supercross track takes all the obstacles of outdoor riding – jumps, turns, and bumps – and puts them in easy view of the spectators.
