Feld Motor Sports unveiled today the track design for the Monster Energy Cup that will take place at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium on 19 October.

Designed by five-time Monster Energy Supercross Champion Ricky Carmichael, this year’s Monster Energy Cup track will be so massive that the stadium itself can’t contain it.

The feedback from riders and fans alike was that last year’s Monster Energy Cup track provided some of the sport’s best racing, so the goal this year was to amplify the existing model. It was a simple solution for Carmichael: Use most of last year’s track elements and reverse the layout.

“After last year’s race, we immediately rolled up our sleeves and began working on the next generation of this track,” said Carmichael.

“I didn’t want to change the dynamics of it but wanted to fine tune what already made for one of the greatest tracks I have ever seen and coming away from last year’s race, I knew the joker lane was a must have.”

The Monster Energy Cup track will include the unique the split start, joker lane and a high-speed 33 degree bank built into the stands, but Carmichael has intensified a few more items.

The 80-foot triple will grow to 100; instead of one high-speed sweeper turn, there will be two and the split start will now direct riders onto the track at a 45 degree angle.

“Adding the distance and extra sweeper is what the Monster Energy Cup is about,” said Carmichael. “This is the perfect blend of air and speed, and what is unique is that each Main Event is only 10 laps so everyone will be fast.”

Last year’s event was won by Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Justin Barcia.
