PAYSON, UT (May 24, 2017) – Time is ticking down for the 36th Annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by Lucas Oil at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. For amateur riders all across the nation, the Regional Championships represent the next step on their journey to Loretta’s. The first Regional Championships begin May 27th and will continue every weekend until June 25th. The regional winners will then compete at the National Championships held at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch on July 31st – August 5th.

This year’s Area Qualifiers have been running since February, with the last one scheduled to end on May 21st. Riders who have qualified are eligible to race in their corresponding Regional Championship. There are a total of 13 Regional Championships which take place in eight regions around the United States. This year, the first Regional Championships are the Gatorback Youth Regional (Southeast) in Alchua, FL, the Underground MX Youth Regional (South Central) in Kemp, TX, and the Washougal Youth/Amateur Regional (Northwest) in Washougal, WA.

Riders who are eligible due to their results at an Area Qualifier must pre-register online for their Regional Championship in order to guarantee their spots. All riders will receive one Rocky Mountain ATV/MC $20 gift card for each Regional Championship they compete in as part of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Race Gas Fast Track program.

“Riders across the nation are one step closer to Loretta Lynn’s, and we wish each of them luck as they compete in the Regional Championships,” said Dan Thomas, CEO and Founder of Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. “This is an incredible experience, and we’re glad that we can be a part of it by serving as the title sponsor for Loretta Lynn’s and by offering $20 gift cards to competitors at the Regional Championships.”

“After supporting each racer at the Area Qualifiers, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC is continuing their support with the Race Gas Fast Track gift cards at the Regional Championships,” said MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. “The first Regional Championship gate drop is set to take place this weekend, and we wish the competing racers good luck as they continue on the Road to Loretta’s.”
