Reacting to recent news reports quoting DORNA boss Carmelo Ezpeleta as saying that there will be a Grand Prix race in the United States in 2004–and that the race will feature the MotoGP class run with AMA National classes–AMA Pro Racing officials say they have had no discussions with DORNA.

AMA Pro Racing Vice President of Communications Kerry Graeber said that there has been no contact with DORNA and no planning involving running an AMA National in conjunction with a MotoGP race.

Speaking at California Speedway Sunday morning, Graeber said that AMA Pro Racing was not opposed to the idea, in principal.

AMA Pro Racing West Coast Vice President Andy Leisner added that any such event would have to be scheduled to work within the AMA National schedule.
