The AMRA, dubbed America's Most Exciting Open Wheel Series, will sanction the open wheel modified events at the speedway in 2011 and hopefully beyond, as the series continues to grow.
AMRA President Larry Keefer noted, "We are genuinely excited to sign Natural Bridge and welcome them into the AMRA family. The facility is a first-class facility and everyone associated with the speedway are first class people. This is a win-win situation for all of us, especially our drivers in Virginia and bordering West Virginia. Together Natural Bridge and the AMRA are going to put on some great racing."
Natural Bridge Speedway promoter’s Larry and Karey Ramsey are pleased to be a part of the newly formed partnership with the American Motor Racing Association for the 2011 racing season. The Natural Bridge team is looking forward to a great season.
