Circuit of The Americas is one of the sites under consideration for the ESPN X Games.
Circuit of The Americas confirmed on Monday that Austin is among four sites now in contention to host the ESPN X Games for a three-year period beginning in 2014.
The new motorsport development is one of the proposed locations where some of the competition would be staged should the Capital City land the summer event.
San Antonio entrepreneur Red McCombs is lead investor in Circuit of The Americas, which hosted its inaugural race event late last year.
?This is fantastic news for Austin and Circuit of The Americas,? says Paul Thornton, who led the effort to bring the X Games to Austin. ?Bringing the X Games to Austin would mean a significant economic impact for our community ... once again putting Austin in the international spotlight.?
ESPN will schedule site visits to the four finalist cities. The four-letter network is expected to visit Austin during the first week of June.
