Ten Minutes With
MIKE
PELLETIER
Mike Pelletier may be the new AMA director of racing, but he’s certainly not new to the AMA. The New England native has been involved in this sport for decades, even held a pro license, and has been serving as the AMA’s supercross manager since 2017. He’ll continue to fill that role moving forward, but with his new title, his influence will take on a much broader scope. We spoke with Pelletier to learn about his promotion and what life is like for the manager of supercross.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
