MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(May 14, 2012) – MX Sports Pro Racing and the National Promoters’ Group
(NPG) announce the 2012 Amateur Days schedule that will run in
conjunction with the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by
AMA Pro Racing. Amateur racing has long been the core of motocross in
America, featuring the future stars of Lucas Oil Motocross and offering
fans over the years a rare chance to catch a glimpse of future stars
like Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto, Trey Canard and
many more.



Whether
it’s fulfilling the thrill of competition or simply enjoying a ride on
the sport's premier racetracks, motocross enthusiasts from all over the
country can get their fix. In some cases, the same hallowed ground that
will host the sport’s biggest names will be open to the public.



“Motocross
is a family sport and the Amateur Day Program emphasizes that,” said MX
Sports President Davey Coombs. “On any given weekend, hundreds of young
riders and their families come to the track together and, more often
that not, compete together simply out of love for the sport, and also a
chance to be a part of the big show.”



The
2012 Amateur Day schedule will begin on Thursday, May 17, during the
opening weekend of the season at the FMF Hangtown Motocross Classic in
Sacramento. From there, amateurs from all over the country will have the
one-of-a-kind chance to ride the same track as the Lucas Oil Motocross
athletes during a National weekend for the remaining 11 rounds of the
season.
