MotorcycleUSA.com To Sponsor 102 Holeshot Awards at Loretta
Lynn's AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships
Morgantown,W.Va. (July 22, 2009) - MotorcycleUSA.com has agreed to be the event sponsor for 102 Holeshot Awards at the Air Nautiques/AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn Ranch presented by Amsoil in Hurricane Mills, TN. The holeshot awards will be given out to every single holeshot winner during week in the form of $100 gift certificates from Motorcycle-Superstore.com.
The Air Nautiques/AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships presented by Amsoil at Loretta Lynn Ranch is the premier amateur motocross event in the world and the platform for numerous motocross champions like James Stewart, Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Dungy to launch into the professional ranks.
"It's all about the riders," said Ken Hutchison,VP MotorcycleUSA.com. "The support we provide in promotion and coverage of the Loretta Lynn's Nationals along with the Holeshot awards is pretty minor compared to the long hours of practice and racing it takes for these riders to qualify for this race. We're excited to be able to contribute."
The week of racing at Loretta Lynn Ranch features 99 motos, with a staggered double-start in the Senior 45+ and Masters 50+ classes creating 102 holeshots. The Air Nautiques/AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships presented by Amsoil begin August 3 and run to August 8th at the legendary Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN.
"Our goal here is to give back to the industry and there is no better event to be affiliated with than Loretta Lynn's Amateur Championships," said Erick Barney, VP Marketing Motorcycle-Superstore. "Sponsoring 102 holeshots is going to take a bit of coordination, but we're happy the riders will be the ones who benefit. These motocross racers and their families are the grassroots of the sport so it's a good feeling to be involved and help support this event."
