ATRA's NCS Announcement

The American Track Racing Association(ATRA) is proud to announce the launching of a new initiative with the first ever ATRA National Championship Series(NCS). The new national series hopes to bring together a collective of the best track races in the US for the best racers in the US to compete head to head for the chance to be named ATRA's National Champion. Track racing in the US of recent years has seen a myriad of different races and small regional series operating independently and the goal of ATRA's NCS is to bring all of those events to a national stage and highlight some of the great work being done a ATRA's member velodrome's around the country.

The goal of ATRA's NCS is to collectively bring together velodrome's around the country and highlight their major events and bring additional media exposure for those events. A side benefit of bringing those velodrome's and their events to the forefront of the cycling community nationwide is creating more awareness of the American Track Racing Association and it's mission and goals as an organization. ATRA's mission is to advance the sport of track cycling, the capital improvements of our facilities and for the promotion of track riding and racing.

The NCS will feature Individual Overall Champions for Men's events, Women's events and best overall Team for the team that gains the most points over the course of the season. Championships will also be awarded for each major track discipline, including Sprint, Keirin, Time Trial, Individual Pursuit, Points Race, Scratch Race, Miss and Out and Madison(men only). Each one of the races that is held at NCS events will count points towards the championship and the results will be tallied on ATRA's website, raceatra.com and at the end of the year NCS Champions jersey's made by ATAC Sportswear will be awarded to the winners of each category. More information on the series can be found on ATRA's website, www.raceatra.com/NCS .
