The big news of the weekend came when AMA/Prostar CEO Keith “Scooter” Kizer announced that AMA/Prostar will be back next season and it will taken over by a motorsports management group. Kizer refused to give anymore details until the deal was finalized. “I can’t throw any names out there and let somebody try to screw this up for us until it’s a done deal,” asserted Kizer. Nonetheless Kizer was more than confident that Prostar will run in 2007.
