ART ECKMAN (1942-2023)
We are sad to report of the passing of Art Eckman, the longtime television host of Monster Energy Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross, as well as the weekly Moto World show, and countless other sporting events, near his home in Georgia. He was 81 years old.
For an entire generation of motorsports viewers Eckman was the voice of supercross and motocross. Teamed with AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame rider David Bailey in the TV booth, Eckman's voice became synonymous with two-wheeled motorsports. He highly respected in and around the paddock by such racing icons Jeremy McGrath, Jeff Stanton, Damon Bradshaw and Jean-Michel Bayle, and later also became a mentor for future TV analysts and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael, Grant Langtson and James Stewart. His voice was an indelible part of the sport and will be missed.
