AMA Announces Amateur
Ice Racers Of The Year
B
rady Bargeron of Bentley,
Michigan, and Kyle John-
son of Muskegon, Michigan,
were named the 2021 AMA
Amateur Ice Racers of the
Year for their performances in
the 2021 AMA Ice Race Grand
Championship, held in Osh-
kosh, Wisconsin, last month.
Bargeron won the Open
Amateur Champion class on
the oval track at the 2021
High Voltage AMA Ice Race
Grand Championship and was
runner-up in the 450cc Ama-
teur class.
For Johnson, he won the
450cc Amateur class and
finished second in the Open
Amateur Champion class, mak-
ing the two racers tied.
"Both Brady and Kyle raced
incredibly well at the cham-
pionship this year and were
fierce competitors," said AMA
Track Racing Manager Ken
Saillant. "We don't often have
ties, but both racers are cer-
tainly deserving of the Amateur
Ice Racers of the Year award
and they clearly proved it."
The Youth Ice Racer of the
Year Award went to another
Michigan native, Blake Brad-
ish, who pulled off victories
in both the 65cc- and 85cc-
class Championship races in
Oshkosh.
