The largest, and most popular ice oval race in the world will crown a new champion on Sunday afternoon. Will AMSOIL rider P.J. Wanderscheid take home a record fourth title? You can watch live at the AMSOIL Derby Track website.

Also on tap for the weekend will be round two of the Monster Energy Supercross. Team AMSOIL riders Kevin Windham and Eli Tomac will look for a win at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. The entire night of racing will once again air live on SPEED.

the AMA Arenacross will host a bevvy of riders and fans in Kansas City, Mo. January 15-16. Jeff Gibson took the opening round win in Tulsa and will be hard pressed with riders as skilled as Tyler Bowers and Chad Johnson breathing down his tailpipe.

Finally, the United States Cross Country series heads into its second round of racing in 2011. The Grand Cities 500 will take place in Grand Forks, N.D.

Until then, we'll see you at the races,
