Wednesday, February 10, 2016 | 10:20 AM

The Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Amateur National Motocross Championship – more commonly known as Loretta Lynn’s – has become the most anticipated amateur motocross event for up and coming riders over the years. The 2016 season will consist of 55 Area Qualifiers, beginning on February 13-14 at MMX Racing in Marysville, CA.

The Area Qualifiers take place across eight regions in 34 states, spanning from February to May. If a rider places in a qualifying position during the Area Qualifiers, they will be advanced to the Regional Championship for their area, which takes place in June. If riders go on to win a qualifying position at the Regionals, they are assured a spot at the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Amateur National Motocross Championship, held at the Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN, for a weeklong event from August 1-6, 2016.
