Press Inquiries

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in covering Monster Energy AMA Supercross, part of the 31-event SuperMotocross World Championship.

Supercross is the most competitive and highest-profile off-road motorcycle racing championship in the world and as such certain criteria has been established for media professionals to apply for credentials. Media access is only provided to individuals on editorial assignment from accredited media outlets. As a general guideline, accredited media outlets are television stations or networks, radio stations or networks, magazines, or newspapers, and in certain cases websites and podcasts that are reputable, recognized and routinely cover the sport.

If you meet the criteria above, please complete the form at the bottom of the page so we can learn more about your coverage request. Any remaining questions can be sent to the following email address: [email protected]

Media Credentials

Media credentials can consist of several levels of access and must be kept on your person at-all- times. Access is determined based on needs for each media assignment. All photography and videography must go through the media credentialing process and be approved in writing through your Feld Motor Sports contact no later than two weeks in advance.

Media will be provided with a media vest or bib based on the level of access needed for the assignment as determined by Feld Motor Sports. Requests made after the deadline has passed WILL NOT be approved.

Media members approved for editorial assignments (which comprises most credentialed media) are ONLY permitted to provide coverage for their assignment on record and are not allowed to post on personal accounts if on assignment.

  • If a photographer has been assigned to shoot for a specific media outlet – photos and video can only be used in the scope of that assignment and for that media outlet
  • Photographers and videographers on editorial assignment need to refrain from distributing their work to third parties – teams, racers, sponsors, gear companies, etc., as that is a commercial endeavor
  • Photographers and videographers on editorial assignments cannot sell photographs or videography work for additional clients under an editorial credential
  • At no time should photographs or video appear on a photographer/videographer’s social channels prior to the media outlet they were assigned to shoot for

Post-Race Press Conference

  • The post-race press conference will take place following the last Main Event in the paddock media center. Attending the post-race press conference is an expectation of your media credential.
  • The post-race press conference format is as follows: the top 3 from each class (450SX and 250SX) will address media members approximately 15 minutes after the last race. (e.g. – event concludes at 8 pm, post-race press conference will start at 8:15 pm).

Post-Race Media Scrum

  • A post-race media scrum area will be set up in the paddock on the opposite side of the paddock media center where non-podiumed athletes can address the media. All non-podiumed athletes in both classes will be encouraged to participate. Please reach out to the team’s PR rep directly if there is someone specifically you would like to attend.
  • The post-race media scrum area is the only approved area in the paddock to conduct interviews after the race and will remain open for 75 minutes past the final event (e.g. – event concludes at 8 pm, media scrum and paddock will close at 9:15 pm).
  • Please be mindful that teams are trying to break down and depart after a long day. Post-race interviews will no longer be acceptable at team rigs – use the media scrum area for this purpose.
