An article shares the story of supermoto and the upcoming Michigan Supermoto Championship

DETROIT (May 3, 2011) – Launched two years ago, MISportsEdge magazine covers traditional sports such as running, bicycling, baseball and water sports. The spring issue has a significant motorcycle presence for the first time. Former Michigan Supermoto Champion Chase Guthrie graces the cover, and inside the publication there is an article (page 14) about supermoto, both its history and presence in Michigan.

“The cover and article in MISportsEdge magazine and our July downtown street race, shows that supermoto is alive in the Midwest,” said Dave Duprey, owner of MISuperMoto.com. “We are building growth for supermoto from the grassroots level, region-by-region. With the support of MISporstEdge, we are letting the motorcycle community and the traditional sports enthusiasts know that we have an affordable, exciting entertainment product. Supermoto remains one of the most unique racing events to watch with the combination of asphalt and dirt, as well as one of the lowest cost motorcycle disciplines to enter.”

MISportsEdge magazine is available free at select newsstands in Michigan. Guthrie of Menton, Indiana has competed in MISuperMoto.com races for the past several years, earning the inaugural 2009 Michigan Supermoto Championship and finishing third in the 2010 championship.

This year, the Michigan Supermoto Championship kicks off on Sunday, May 22 at Auto City Speedway in Clio, Michigan. The series will include the first-ever supermoto through-the-streets race in Michigan with the Taco Bell Ogemaw Hills Supermoto Spectacular on Friday, July 15. Additional details will be announced this month for this free spectator event.
