The Parnall/Parnell Law Xtreme Arenacross roared back into McGee Park Memorial Coliseum on March 6, 2026, staging a multi-class indoor motocross card that organizers said drew amateur and professional riders and family spectators from across the Southwest and packed local restaurants, hotels and gas stations over the weekend. Andrew Gallegos of Finish Line Promotions said, "This is an annual event we've been doing the last four years. It brings people in from all over, lots of pros, lots of amateurs. They're bringing all this money in restaurants, hotels, gas stations."

Race organizers ran roughly 40 classes across McGee Park and associated venues, a slate described in event materials as covering competitors "from toddlers on balance bikes to seasoned pros." The program mixed youth and adult divisions, with entry lines intended to funnel riders up the ladder from balance-bike sessions into amateur and pro starts, and organizers and partners noted the regional draw of entrants from across the Southwest.

Finish Line Promotions led promotion and race-day operations, with Aztec Motocross named as a partner and a title sponsor listed in event materials under two variant spellings. Gallegos gave a shout-out to the title sponsor in remarks, saying, "And a big shout out to our title sponsor, Parnell Law." Event summaries also list the title sponsor as "Parnall Law," and the record shows both spellings in circulation.

Sponsorship played a visible role in the weekend. Dan Kelly, identified as "with Decon Environmental," said, "So I'm Dan Kelly with Decon Environmental. We're a sponsor for the Arena Cross Event here in Farmington, New Mexico. I mean, we're proud to sponsor these events for, for the youth in the Four Corners area. It gives 'em something recreational to do that's not out causing trouble and it just helps out the local community. And a lot of the youth come here and they bring their dirt bikes and they all get to hang out and have a good time. And, and it's really a, a good family event as a company. We appreciate Andrew doing this and, and his time and effort and all of his volunteers and helpers. It doesn't, it doesn't just show up. It takes a lot of work, a lot of dedication for these guys to come out here and, you know, donate the equipment, put their time in. [...]"

Organizers explicitly credited sponsors such as the title sponsor and Dekon/Decon Environmental with underwriting the event, and Gallegos reiterated the financial circle that drives the meet: "Without our sponsors, we couldn't do it. So they try to go support them and it's just a big circle. Keeps it all going." The event was described as returning for its fourth consecutive year, maintaining an annual slot on the Four Corners racing calendar.

What organizers have not released publicly are hard attendance totals, competitor counts by class, race results, or verified economic-impact figures for hotel room nights and restaurant receipts; those operational numbers were not included with event remarks. For now, the March 6, 2026 Xtreme Arenacross stands as a four-year-running regional stop that combined a wide youth-to-pro class structure with sponsor-backed community messaging about keeping kids engaged and boosting weekend commerce.
