The following press release is from the American Motorcyclist Association:

For the 2024 AMA Supercross season, the following Team Sponsorship Guidelines will apply:

TEAM SPONSORS

Approved sponsors identified as "primary" should be listed as the first sponsor on the Official Entry list.

AMA may, in its sole discretion, refuse to permit for any reason, or it may restrict or assign the size or placement of decals, identification, advertising, slogans, and graphic designs of any kind, including but not limited to, the motorcycle, equipment, personnel, uniforms, pit areas, promotional materials, and/or support motorcycles. All Credentialed Participants agree to accept AMA's decision in this regard.

AMA may refuse to permit a Competitor to participate in an Event if AMA determines that any advertising, sponsorship, or similar agreement to which the Competitor is or will be a party, is detrimental to the sport, to AMA, Sponsors or the Promoter for any reason, including without limitation, the public image of the sport and/or violates broadcaster requirements, standards and practices.
