Lucas Oil Motocross Championship Amateur Days Schedule Announced‏

Popular Amateur Day Racing Program Supports
2011 Lucas Oil Motocross Championship




MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (April
22, 2011) - The core of motocross in America has long been rooted in
the strong amateur racing scene featuring the future stars of the
sport. As American Motocross enters its 40th year of
world-class competition, MX Sports Pro Racing and the National
Promoters Group (NPG) announce the 2011 Amateur Days schedule that will
run in conjunction with each round of this summer's Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championship.



For
12 weeks, the world's best riders engage in battle on the track for
over 60 minutes across two grueling motos each Saturday afternoon, but
before and after the pros take to the track, amateurs and enthusiasts
of all ages and skill levels will have their chance to be a part of the
outdoor nationals. Whether it's racing bar-to-bar, or just enjoying a
Sunday ride on the track, motocross lovers from all over the country
can be a part of American Motocross through the Amateur Day Program
and, in some cases, will even have the chance to compete on the same
hallowed ground as the stars of the sport.



"Amateur
Days were some of my greatest memories with my family," said defending
Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross 450 Class Champion Ryan Dungey. "There was
nothing like racing the week of a national and then watching all the
riders I looked up to compete on the same track. It brought an end to a
perfect week and the best part about it was that I was able to enjoy it
with my mom, my dad and my brothers."



"The
family atmosphere and the bond amongst loved ones is an underlying
foundational element of the Amateur Day Program," said MX Sports Vice
President Davey Coombs. "On any given weekend, hundreds of campgrounds
will be set up as families come to the track together and more often
that not, compete together simply out of love for the sport."



The
2011 Amateur Day schedule kicks off on Thursday, May 19, during the
opening weekend of the season at the Rockstar Energy Hangtown Motocross
Classic in Rancho Cordova, Calif. From there, 11 additional weekends
will give amateurs from all over the country a one-of-a-kind chance to
ride, which only takes place once a year, before coming to a conclusion
the weekend of September 10 from Pala, Calif.
