AMA Supercross – Daytona Speedway
The iconic Daytona Supercross returned to the legendary Daytona Speedway, a venue that has been the heart of Supercross since its inception in 1971. Known for its challenging track and unique obstacles, Daytona is a true test of both rider and equipment. This year, Viral Optics had 8 riders in the 250 class make the night show, with 3 riders advancing to the Main Event: PRMX's Jack Chambers (192), Chase Marquier from Dirt Bike Depot, and Gage Linville. These three athletes put on an impressive performance, representing the Viral Optics brand with pride and grit.
