29th Annual Loretta Lynn’s Sure To Be A Championship Week for Cobra Kids!

HILLSDALE, Mich., (Aug. 2, 2010) – American-made
Cobra Motorcycles – featuring the planet’s most successful line of
competition mini cycles - take center stage this weekend when the world’s
best amateur motocross racers gather at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane
Mills (Tenn.) for the 29^th running of the AMA Amateur National
Motocross Championships, presented by AMSOIL.

Cobra, which swept both the 51cc AMA 2 and AMA 1 Stock
podiums in 2009, returns a team stacked with the sport’s future top pro
racers – aka the Cobra Generation.

“All the hard work the comes with being a top amateur
motocross racer – including the many family sacrifices -  come together
this week in Tennessee for these kids,” said Cobra President Sean
Hilbert. “Loretta’s is where America celebrates the great sport of
amateur motocross racing. And Cobra’s pumped to be there with a full
factory effort for our racers.”

Cobra will be led in the 51cc AMA 2 title chase by three
proven talents. Defending  51cc AMA 1 class champion Stilez Robertson
(California) and Missouri speedster “Lightning” Lance Kobush
are the two early favorites, but watch out for Utah’s Pierce Brown,
who’s coming off an unreal Ponca City event, along with
Washington’s Levi Kitchen and California’s Carson Mumford
in the 7-8 class. And though these three enter as favorites, there’s
plenty of other Cobra racers that will be gunning for the for the coveted
Loretta’s podium spots. Other 7-8 Cobra kids to keep an eye on include: Gauge
Keith (Md.), who was last year’s 4-6 AMA 1 runner-up, Jack Rogers
(Md.), Larry Davis (Ill.), Tennessee’s Kruz Sampson and Jackson
Turpin (Ga.).

In all, Cobra’s King 50 is defending an amazing 1^st
through 24^th place – and 37 out of 42 qualifying gate picks -
from 2009 in the AMA 2 class!

The little guys (4-6, AMA 1) are going to have a Battle
Royal on their hands, according to Hilbert, as Georgia’s Gage
Linville, Colorado’s Andrew Britt, Michigan’s Jaiden
Taylor, Nevada’s Robert Hailey and Ohio’s Vance
Stiers all came blazing out of their Loretta’s regionals with the
speed it takes to podium at the finals that last year featured eight of the top
ten spots – and 36 of the 43 total entries – on the Cobra CX Jr.
model.

And as the ground-breaking, American-made Cobra CX65
continues to gain momentum, longtime Cobra racers will be up against a sea of
orange bikes in the battle for the 65cc 7-9 title. Cobra CX 65 riders include: Michael
Hicks (Mo.) and Brandon Smith (N.M.), both of whom had outstanding
careers on the Cobra CX Jr. and King 50 bikes in working their way up to the
7-9 65cc class. Joining Hicks and Smith will be North Carolina’s Jonathan
Lee, along with Colorado’s Aaden Veazie in the 7-11 65cc
Modified class. And in the 10-11 65cc Stock and 7-11 65cc Modified classes
Illinois’ Chase Sexton will be the lone racer flying the CX65 flag
for Cobra factory against the field of foreign bike manufacturers.
