In addition, Air Evac Lifeteam will once again be onsite to provide air medical transportation in the unlikely event that a rider sustains injury that requires an air flight transport. Air-Evac Lifeteam creates a secondary insurance that will ensure that riders or family members will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to an air medical transport from the Ranch.

“Air Evac Lifeteam is proud to provide helicopter air ambulance service to the world-class athletes that will be present at the largest amateur motocross event on the globe,” said Waverly Tennessee Air Evac Program Director, Karen Ledbetter. 

The National class structure includes classes for youth riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and masters classes. The race will follow a three-moto format over the course of one week. Racers have previously qualified at Area Qualifiers and then Regional Championships in order to participate in the National event.

“MX Sports is committed to providing the best onsite medical care and transportation available,” said MX Sports Event Director, Tim Cotter. “We have assembled a highly skilled team of people that are at the ready throughout the week.” 

There will be 46+ hours of live online streaming coverage that begins on Tuesday, August 1 through Saturday, August 5 on RacerTV.com, and two one-hour highlight shows featuring the event will air on NBC Sports Network on Saturday, November 11 at 2:30 p.m. and Saturday, December 23 at 3:00 p.m. EST.
