MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (July 13, 2022) – The 41st running of the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship makes its return to storied Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, on July 31st through August 6th. As the world’s largest and most prestigious amateur racing event nears, MX Sports, producer of the AMA Amateur National, and Monster Energy are excited to announce the star-studded lineup of musical entertainment for Sunday’s opening ceremonies and the Monster Energy Country Music Festival, headlined by American Idol Season 10 winner and platinum-certified artist, Scotty McCreery.

Kicking off the festivities at 4:00 p.m. CT on Sunday at the Monster Energy Stage, located on the racetrack Starting Line, will be the country music duo of Temecula Road. Dawson Anderson and Emma Salute will take the stage with their signature harmonies that have helped Temecula Road develop a sound of its own. They received a standing ovation at their Grand Ole Opry debut and have also been called out for their talents by CMT, HuffPost, and Rolling Stone, as well as fellow country music stars including Brett Eldredge, Dan + Shay, and more. Check out their newly released single “Heartbreak in Boots'' on YouTube.

The grandchildren of famed country music duo Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, Tayla Lynn and Tre Twitty will take the Monster Energy Stage at 5:30 p.m. CT. The two continue to honor their grandparents through their music and storytelling. Tayla and Tre have formed a unique bond through the years of an intertwined family history, just as Loretta and Conway shared a bond as best friends and musical partners. Watch Twitty & Lynn perform their own version of Loretta and Conway’s “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” Zac Herrin will also make a special appearance as he joins in on the fun to sing his song “Out at The Ranch” that he specifically wrote about racing at Loretta’s. Go and listen to the song on Spotify now.

Come Sunday evening, the event will officially begin with the Monster Energy Opening Ceremonies and riders meeting at 7:00 p.m. CT at the Monster Energy Stage on the racetrack starting line.
