MORGANTOWN, W.V. (July 21, 2010) -In association with American Honda, MX Sports Pro Racing announces the introduction of the Honda CRF150 Cup. The Honda CRF150 Cup is a pair of special races held in conjunction with the final two rounds of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, held at Steel City and Pala Raceways, in Pennsylvania and Southern California, respectively. The races, which will be held the same day as both nationals and on the exact same track as the pros, will take place on September 4 (Steel City) and September 11 (Pala) and are designed as a platform to showcase the next generation of motocross talent.
These special races will feature significant support from American Honda as well as the Honda Riders Club of America (HRCA).

The rules governing the Honda CRF150 Cup stipulate that all competitors must adhere to AMA-sanctioned Supermini (12-16) provisions, and contains a special stipulation that allows girls ages 12-16 the ability to participate. All riders must be aboard 2007 or newer Honda CRF150R or CRF150RB models.
In support of this exciting competition, American Honda has posted a significant contingency payout for each event, with over $11,000 in Honda Red Rider Rewards contingency up for grabs.
