SPEED TV's Greg White awarded AMA Media & Reporting Award
The American Motorcyclist Association has awarded Greg
White, host of SPEED TV's "2 Wheel Tuesday" program, the 2006 AMA Award
for Media & Reporting.
The presentation, made by AMA Vice President for
Government Relations Edward Moreland, took place in Charlotte, North
Carolina during today's production of "2 Wheel Tuesday." It also was the
first of the new "AMA Awards," which will recognize significant
contributions to American motorcycling.
A native of Boston, White has been an avid motorcyclist
since the age of 18. From 1997 through 2002, he worked as feature
talent, producer and editor on numerous SPEED programs, all while
competing as an AMA Superbike Championship privateer.
His active involvement in roadracing continued into
2003, when he raced BMW BoxerCup events at Daytona and in Europe, as
well as competing as a Yamaha factory rider in the AMA Supersport
Championship. He's appeared as SPEED's AMA Superbike pit reporter since
2002 and has hosted "2 Wheel Tuesday" since 2003.
"Greg's most valuable contribution is that he introduces
his viewers to people and places throughout the motorcycling community
-- from street to off-road, from recreation to competition," said
Patricia DiPietro, AMA chief executive officer. "The AMA is pleased to
recognize him not only for his excellent coverage, but also for helping
to expand the definition of 'American motorcycling.'"
The AMA Awards are bestowed by the AMA Board of
Directors. The recipient of the 2006 AMA Award for Public Service will
be announced in the coming weeks.
