The nation's best amateur
riders storm the first turn
at Loretta Lynn's Ranch for
the 44th annual Monster
Energy AMA Amateur
National Motocross
Championship.
that conditioning is a major fac-
tor at the Ranch.
And, of course, there is the
racing. Loretta's is where the
cream rises to the top, as all
racers must first qualify for the
AMA Amateur National Champi
-
onship through various regional
qualifying races across the coun-
try. There are no slouches here.
Loretta Lynn's has been a spring-
board for top talent such as
superstars like Ricky Carmichael,
James Stewart, Ryan Dungey,
Ryan Villopoto and many others,
like Kevin Windham and off-road
star Steward Baylor Jr, who both
helped announce this year's
race, which is part of the event's
allure. And the racers with the
best conditioning and excep
-
tional talent have their chance
to shine, as the race draws team
managers and agents from every
top motocross team in America,
all watching for future stars.
In addition, one of the high-
est honors in motocross racing
waits for the best of the best: the
Nicky Hayden AMA Motocross
Horizon Award. This year, the
award went to Monster Energy
Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Enzo
Temmerman, who went 1-2-1
in the Open Pro Sport class and
1-1-1 in the 250 Pro Sport class.
(Racers are limited to competing
in just two classes at Loretta's.)
