The thunder of Harley-Davidson V-Twin engines will roar around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this summer as the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 division debuts at the annual Red Bull Indianapolis GP on Aug. 26-28.
“The distinctive rumble of Harley-Davidson thunder and close competition will provide even more on-track entertainment for our loyal fans and enhance what will be the motorcycle event of the year in the United States,” said Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. president and chief executive officer.
The AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 division adds a fourth class of racing to the Red Bull Indianapolis GP weekend, as it joins the three World Championship classes – MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc – competing on the 16-turn, 2.621-mile circuit that combines part of the famed IMS oval with an infield section.
