AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship
as Official Medical Team

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (July 27, 2019) – MX Sports is excited to present AirMedCare Network as the official medical team for the 38th Annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by Lucas Oil. AirMedCare Network is an alliance among Air Evac Lifeteam, and will be side-by-side with the Fit-N-Wise team and Event Medical Director, Dr. James McGee. 

“We are honored to be part of the official medical team once again for the 2019 AMA Amateur National,” said Fit-N-Wise Motocross Coordinator, Jim Bui. “We are excited to continue our offer of more specialized medical attention than has ever been available for amateur riders competing at this level. Our orthopedic experts, physicians, and athletic trainers aim to provide top notch medical services to all of our motocross athletes to keep them riding at the best of their abilities.”

The Brett Downey Foundation will return to advise track flaggers and provide infield safety monitoring. Together the medical and infield staff at the AMA Amateur National will provide unprecedented medical assistance for national competitors. 

In addition, Air Evac Lifeteam will be returning to provide air medical transportation in the unlikely event that a rider sustains an 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 air medical transport from the ranch.

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. 

The race action will be broadcast live daily via www.RacerTV.com, July 30-August 3, for a total of 40+ hours of live coverage. In addition, two one-hour highlight shows featuring the event will air on NBC Sports Network in the Fall.
