DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 19, 2018)
- AMA
Pro Racing would like to apologize
to competitors, sponsors and fans
for the conduct of race officials in
a video that was streamed online
from race control at the OKC Mile.
The video included a race official
using foul language and making
disparaging remarks which are not
representative of the organization.
“This behavior is inappropriate,
unacceptable and does not reflect
the company or the culture we’ve
built at AMA Pro Racing,” said
Michael Lock, CEO of American Flat
Track. “I’m disappointed in my
staff, as these actions undermine
the great work we’ve been doing to
raise the profile of the sport. l
will be taking action to ensure that
this will not happen again.”
“I sincerely apologize for my
behavior,” said Chris Carr, Chief
Competition Officer of American Flat
Track. “I am embarrassed by what I
said and ashamed that I let my
frustration get the better of me. I
would like to apologize for publicly
embarrassing the sport.”
The video was originally posted to
an individual’s social media page
and was subsequently removed when it
was brought to AMA Pro Racing’s
attention.
