The nation’s top-tier supercross series, which typically starts its season at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, also plans to make its first visit to Dodger Stadium next Jan. 22.

In announcing its 2011 schedule, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series said Tuesday it would again open the season at Angel Stadium on Jan. 8, then move to Phoenix, Dodger Stadium and Oakland before returning to Anaheim on Feb. 5.

The series in recent years had held three of its early-season races at Angel Stadium.

The 17-race schedule for next year concludes May 7 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.

Supercross is the stadium version of motocross, or off-road motorcycle racing. Suzuki rider Ryan Dungey of Minnesota won the supercross championship as a rookie with six wins this season.
