Seven-time AMA Flat Track champion will transition from
competitor to team owner for 2012, racing several
‘select’ events in the coming years
FLEETWOOD, Pa., Winding down one of the greatest careers in
AMA Flat Track Championship racing history, seven-time champion
Chris Carr has decided to make the upcoming 2011 season his last
effort at pursuing an overall AMA Twins title.
“It is never an easy decision to give up doing
something you truly love to do,” said Carr. “I look
forward to my last full season of competition. Beyond 2011, I
wish to continue the winning tradition of Chris Carr Racing with
one of the many up and coming racers on the circuit. I may decide
to run a few selected events in the future, but only if I really
need to scratch that racing itch.”
Transitioning from the seat of his XR750 to race team
owner, Carr will call 2011 his final full time year as a racer.
Beyond 2011, Carr’s plan is to continue running his team with
a selected young racer under his tutelage and launch a new
chapter in his storied motorsports career – Chris Carr Racing
Motorcycles.
With this Carr’s developed the Chris Carr Farewell to
Flat Track Tour. And, given the publicity Carr’s final
competition season stop at each AMA Flat Track Championship event
this will generate, Carr’s developed a unique approach to
sponsors wishing to get on board with this last of its kind
program.
Title sponsorships for the Chris Carr Farewell to Flat
Track Tour are available in four blocks of five races on the 2011
AMA Flat Track Championship calendar. Each block includes two
races slated for television on MAVTV, ex. Daytona, Springfield,
etc. Two races will be ones proven over time to have an upside
potential for marketing possibilities (ex. Lima, Indy Mile,
etc.). One new race on the 2011 AMA schedule will be included in
each block.
Following the initial title investment sponsorship, each
sponsor automatically converts into the prominent associate
sponsorship status for the balance of the racing season.
“I can only retire from the AMA Flat Track
Championship chase once. So all-in-all the Chris Carr Farewell to
Flat Track Tour offers a unique marketing and branding footprint
for an entire race season at a fraction of the cost of a full
season’s title sponsorship,” added Carr. Note: The Chris
Carr Farewell To Flat Track tour kicks off at the Southern
Illinois Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Jan. 1st and 2nd, 2011, at the
Steve Nace Winter Indoor Series.

Seven-time AMA Flat Track champion and one of the fastest
men in the world on two wheels at 367.382 miles per hour, the
Chris Carr legend continues. For more information on Chris Carr,
