The Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship is a very big deal in amateur motocross. The event, founded in 1982, has grown from a modest race on a fairly flat field on the property of the late country music icon Loretta Lynn into the biggest, most prestigious championship of all. With its months-long qualifying process, followed by its championship week at the Ranch, the entire program hovers above the amateur motocross landscape like a formidable mountain that everyone’s eager to try to climb and conquer, though very few actually make it to the top. With classes and participants ranging from very young groms on 51cc minicycles, to fairly old sportsmen riding 450s in the Masters 50+ division, we’ll break down the 43rd Annual Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship by focusing on the data and numbers that emerged from it.
