"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AURORA, Ill.&lt;\\/strong&gt; (August 31, 2007) \\u2014 Suzuki&amp;#8217;s Ricky Carmichael, of   Tallahassee, Fla., announced today that he will close out his 2007 farewell   season by racing in the 10th Annual Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open   at Las Vegas&amp;#8217; MGM Grand Garden Arena October   12-14. Carmichael is the   only racer in history to participate at every Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open   since its inception in 1997.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ricky Carmichael   has had a remarkable career that includes five AMA Supercross titles, one FIM   World Supercross GP title and three U.S. Open titles, said Todd Jendro, senior   director of supercross, Live Nation. &amp;#8220;As he completes his 2007 farewell tour,   it&amp;#8217;s only fitting that his final U.S. appearance will be at the prestigious Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open,   giving supercross fans one final opportunity to see Carmichael compete in the   U.S.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m looking   forward to racing the U.S. Open because it is a fun event, said Carmichael. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m happy to be finished   with chasing championships and look forward to racing at unique events like the   (U.S.)   Open. I always look forward to racing in Vegas. I have competed every year at   the U.S. Open and want to keep the streak alive. I can&amp;#8217;t believe that it&amp;#8217;s the   10th Anniversary of the U.S. Open. It seems like just yesterday when   I raced at the very first one.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Carmichael   has won three U.S. Open titles \\u2014 more than any other rider in history \\u2014 and has   his sights on an unprecedented fourth title before going into retirement.   Carmichael, who is the all-time winningest racer in AMA history with 15 National   Championships, earned his last U.S. Open in 2005 when he swept both nights of   racing.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;CBS Sports will   once again broadcast a 90-minutes television package of the 10th   Annual Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open Sunday, October 20, from 1:30-3:00 p.m. EST.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;More exciting   announcements about the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open will be made shortly.
