Morgantown, WV – The AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn’s draws the best riders in the country. It also draws the best sponsors too, as Air Nautiques, Amsoil and Maxxis will provide unprecedented support for amateur and youth motocross racing this season through their relationship with MX Sports and the Loretta Lynn’s program.
“We’re fortunate to have the backing of fine companies like Air Nautiques, Amsoil and Maxxis,” says MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. “Our three-year relationship with an outside-the-industry sponsor like Air Nautiques, one of the world’s premier powerboat makers, has had a major impact on our sport. Now Amsoil and Maxxis will step into the MX Sports program and push the event even higher.”
“We’re very happy to be associated with MX Sports, the AMA Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s and the sport of motocross,” said Air Nautiques’ Marketing Director Scott Mohr. “We promote family activities with our boats, and so does motocross.”
For 2004 Amsoil becomes the presenting sponsor of the MX Sports program. “We’ve always worked at the grass roots level of racing,” says Amsoil Racing Manager John Schuldt. “It’s an excellent fit with us because we’ve been looking for this kind of opportunity for some time. Joining the MX Sports program gives us a great chance to meet the next generation of riders and parents.”
As the new tire sponsor of the MX Sports program, Maxxis has proven they are committed to the amateur motocross market. “Maxxis has been involved with amateur riders for the past several years,” says Maxxis Motorsports Manager Thad Josey. “The AMA Amateur Motocross Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s are an exceptional opportunity for us to maintain a solid relationship with these riders as well as support one of the largest amateur sporting events in the world.”
Air Nautique, Amsoil and Maxxis will have a presence at the AMA Amateur National Championships at Loretta Lynn’s, which run August 2-7, 2004, as well as the Area Qualifiers and Regional Championships which determine the final national field.
The AMA Air Nautiques Amateur National Motocross Championships presented by Amsoil is the world’s largest amateur motocross race. Over 19,000 entries will attempt to qualify in 33 classes for the event, which takes place on August 2-7, 2004, at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Winning an AMA Amateur National Championship is considered the launch pad to a lucrative pro motocross career.
