MX Sports Pro Racing and the National Promoters Group Donate $20,000 to the Asterisk Mobile Medical Center






MORGANTOWN, W.V.
(May 28, 2010) - As a sign of appreciation for the continued support of
the Asterisk Mobile Medical Center (AMMC), MX Sports Pro Racing, in
partnership with the National Promoters Group (NGP), provided a
donation of $20,000 to the AMMC at the season opening round of the
Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship last weekend at Hangtown.



The AMMC has served as an integral
part of AMA Pro Motocross for many years, providing the world's best
riders with unprecedented on-site medical attention at the most
renowned events on the planet.



"Asterisk is a part of the
foundation of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship," said MX
Sports Vice President Davey Coombs. "The dedication of Doc Bodnar, Tom
Carson and their entire staff is second to none. Their presence at the
track gives a tremendous sense of confidence and security for all the
riders on the track as each of them know the series is in good hands."

"This commitment and financial
contribution from MX Sports and the NPG is how we are able to support
the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship," stated Tom Carson, Director of
the AMMC. "Our relationship with MX Sports and NPG is a safety
partnership for the racers and this check will directly support the
2010 championship."



Doctor John Bodnar, affectionately
known as "Doc" throughout the industry, accepted the check on behalf of
the AMMC and was quick to acknowledge the efforts of his crew. Asterisk
provides the racing community with the most complete mobile trauma
facility in the world, but everything else including the crew is
supported entirely by donation.



Bodnar's excitement was obvious and summed up his emotions by simply saying "this is really great!"



The 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championship continues next weekend with the Flagstar Bank
Freestone National from Freestone Raceway in Wortham, Texas. Gates drop
on Saturday, June 5 beginning at 1 p.m. CST. Live coverage of the first
