On TRACK
On Track School student Ryder Colvin writes about his experience being selected for the MX Sports Loretta Lynn’s Apprentice Program at the 2020 Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch.
Disappointed that I would not be able to qualify or compete at Loretta Lynn’s on my 125 in 2020 due to injuries and a ruptured appendix, an opportunity to be at the event in another capacity presented itself. On the Thursday before the event was to start, I received an email saying that I was chosen to announce through the apprenticeship program with MX Sports. That email put the wheels in motion to get me to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch doing something I never thought I would do there!
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.
