PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- January 6, 2017 --  The 2017 AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship series features 12 rounds of competition and four weekends of two-day, back-to-back racing, sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association.

"I am incredibly excited to get this season underway," said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. "The 2017 season of the AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship looks to be one of the best we've ever had and will include many of the great tracks that vintage dirt track racers know and love."

This year's lineup features many notable stops, such as Volusia County Speedway in Baberville, Fla., and the Illinois State Fair Grounds in Springfield, Ill.
