AMSOIL Championship Snocross returns to Wisconsin’s Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

Champions will be crowned at the Nielsen Enterprises Grand Finale, presented by Dayco – final race of the ACS 2014-’15 season

MINNEAPOLIS (Feb. 11, 2015) – Pro snowmobile racing’s premier competition racing series, AMSOIL Championship Snocross, powered by Ram, is pleased to announce three thrilling days of racing action in Lake Geneva, Wis., March 13-15, at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, owned and managed by Marcus Hotels & Resorts, for the Friday & Saturday Nielsen Enterprises Grand Finale, presented by Dayco.

The AAA Four Diamond resort is southeastern Wisconsin’s premier family ski destination and home to the Mountain Top at Grand Geneva, featuring snow from the ski hill that will be sculpted into a lunar-like surface, complete with massive Big Air jumps, fast-cornering berms and tricky rhythm sections – otherwise ridiculous obstacles set to test man and snowmobile like you’ve never seen before!

“AMSOIL Championship Snocross series’ grand finale at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is without a doubt one of snowmobiling’s marquee global events of the year,” said Carl Schubitzke, ISOC President/Race Director. “Lake Geneva is where we crown our champions. It doesn’t get any bigger than AMSOIL Championship Snocross at Lake Geneva. And the conditions are going to be perfect this year for the world’s premier professional snowmobile racers!”

“Our staff and guests look forward to the AMSOIL Championship Snocross event each year and we’re honored to continue to be the host property for such an incredible event,” said Tom Mason, general manager of Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. “Snocross is one of The Mountain Top’s premier events each winter season.”

Locally, Wisconsin pro snowmobile racers Ross Martin (Burlington) and Mike Bauer (Owen), along with last year’s Pro Open Rookie of the Year Kody Kamm from Kenosha will all be in the hunt for the premier Pro Open class podium real estate at the Lake Geneva Grand Finale.
