2012 Lucas Oil Motocross Competition Awards Revealed

Competition Awards Will Recognize Riders’ Efforts During
2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(May 15, 2012) – MX Sports Pro Racing and Alli Sports, a division of
the NBC Sports, have announced the competition awards for the 2012 Lucas
Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. The Ricky
Carmichael Hard Charger Award and the Oakley Bomb Fastest Lap Program
will acknowledge riders at each of the 12 Nationals for their
spectacular efforts.

The
RC Hard Charger Award is entering its fourth season. Named after Ricky
Carmichael, the winningest motocross rider of all time, the award
recognizes the one competitor at each national who overtakes the highest
number of his fellow racers in one of the four championship motos
between the 250 and 450 Classes.

The
award is a testament to “The Greatest of All Time” or “The GOAT” and
his never-give-up attitude over the span of his career that warranted 10
Lucas Oil Motocross titles and 102 wins – two feats that will likely
never be duplicated. All recipients of the RC Hard Charger Award are
given a unique “RC4” trophy, which is handed out at the following
event’s riders meeting to the acknowledgement of his peers.

The
Oakley Bomb Fastest Lap Program is designed to present a unique
challenge for the 2012 season. In years past, riders have been
recognized for posting the fastest lap in a race, but the Oakley Bomb
program will provide a different twist by recognizing the rider who sets
the fastest practice lap in both the 250 and 450 Classes. The winning
riders will receive an exclusive Oakley Bomb trophy, designed to reflect
the brand’s irreverent personality, unrivaled design and hard-charging
attitude of purpose beyond reason.

As
the season wears on, the total number of Oakley Bomb awards a rider
receives will be tallied into a final season total. The competitor with
the most awards at season’s end will be presented with an Elite Oakley
Time Bomb II Swiss Automatic Watch.

The
2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship kicks off this Saturday, May
19, with the FMF Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento. The world’s
best riders will wage war over the course of 12 rounds of action on the
most renowned motocross tracks in the country, visiting 10 states along
the way.
