AMA Air Nautiques Amateur National Motocross Championships

The AMA Air Nautiques Amateur National Motocross Championships presented by AMSOIL is the world's largest amateur motocross race. Hosted annually since 1982 at the home of country music star Loretta Lynn in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, the event is the premier amateur motocross race in the world. In 2007, over 25,000 entries attempted to qualify in 33 classes for the 1386 available gates at the national. In 2008 the National event will be held July 27th – August 3rd. As proof of the significance of winning an AMA Amateur National Championship Title, most of today’s top motocross and supercross stars, including Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart, won championships at Loretta Lynn’s before turning pro. Sponsors include Air Nautiques, AMSOIL, Cobra, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Gatorade, Parts Unlimited, Red Bull, Thor, Toyota, AGV, Alpinestars, Boyesen, Cti, DC Shoes, DeCal Works, FMF, Kicker, Moto Tees, Ogio, Renthal, Scott, Twin Air, Wiseco, Racer X Illustrated and Mini Rider Magazine.

Since its inception in 1982, the hope for this race by founders Dave Coombs Sr. and Paul Shlegel was to hold a championship amateur motocross race that was fair, safe and fun for all the riders and their families.  A nationwide qualifying system ensures equal representation from all parts of the country.  A track raced only one time a year ensures that no one will have a chance to ride or race on it before the rest of the competition arrives.

The Air Nautiques AMA Amateur National Championships has become the premier amateur national series in the United States, and the proving grounds for America's future professional Supercross and Motocross heroes. Our champions truly are tomorrow's star.
