All Participants at Area Qualifiers for Loretta Lynn’s to Receive Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Gift Cards

For many amateur riders, their journey to the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship – generally referred to as Loretta Lynn’s – begins this weekend. The first Area Qualifiers will be held February 14-15. For the first time, participants at all Area Qualifiers will receive a $10 Rocky Mountain ATV/MC gift card as part of the Race Gas program.

This year, 57 Area Qualifiers will be held in eight regions across the United States from February to May. Those who place in a qualifying spot are permitted to attend the corresponding Regional Championship (held in either May or June), which then feeds into Loretta Lynn’s.

The prestige that Loretta Lynn’s has gained over the years has made it the most popular event in amateur motocross. The Area Qualifiers and subsequent Regional Championships provide an opportunity for anyone to have a chance to qualify and attend Loretta Lynn’s. They are strategically located at select motocross tracks across the country to permit as many riders as possible a chance to participate.

“The 2015 season will prove to be a landmark year for the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship,” said MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. “We are excited to embark on this schedule with an all-new region in the Mid-East, many new venues and the best race organizers in America. Not only that, but combined with lower gas prices, we are anticipating record turnouts at the Area Qualifiers.” 

This marks the second year that Rocky Mountain ATV/MC has acted as the title sponsor. This year, all Area Qualifiers will be included in the popular Race Gas program. One $10 Rocky Mountain ATV/MC gift card per rider will be sent to racers for each Area Qualifier they participate in, regardless of final placement. The Regional Championships were inducted into this program last year and will continue to be a part of it in 2015 as well.

“It is truly a privilege to serve as a sponsor for Loretta Lynn’s,” said Dan Thomas, CEO of Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. “We’re excited to be able to be a positive influence on each and every rider this year by giving racers of all Area Qualifiers a $10 gift card. It’s wonderful that we’re able to help out the amateur motocross community in this way.”
