2010 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships
Area Qualifier Schedule Announced

Morgantown, W.Va. (November 17, 2009) - MX Sports, producer of the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., has officially announced the 2010 Area Qualifier Schedule. Within the 7 different regions across the country riders are provided 51 opportunities to attend the first stage in the qualification process to the National Championships held at the famed Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., August 2-7, 2010.
"The 2010 schedule will give our Loretta Lynn riders an opportunity to compete on the best AMA tracks in America," said Tim Cotter, Director of MX Sports. "In addition to the many facilities that have historically been on the schedule we have a few very exciting new comers to the program. It is the goal of MX Sports to develop relationships with the best promoters and facilities in the country to hold these very important events."
The 2010 Area Qualifier Event Schedule already boasts several Pro National tracks and the Hangtown MX facility near Sacramento, Calif., joins the Northwest schedule for the very first time. Hangtown has been the site of professional motocross races since 1968, including the second round of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships.
"We are excited to host our first Area Qualifier at Hangtown," said Scott Davis, promoter of the event and owner of E Street MX. "We hope the addition of the event at this national level track will be an exciting opportunity for riders on their way to the National at Loretta Lynn's."
Also new to the Northwest region is the addition of Horn Rapids MX near Seattle, while new relationships are forming in the South Central region with Cowboy Bad Lands in Beaumont, Texas. In the Northeast, Winchester Speed Park graces the schedule putting a qualifier in New Hampshire for the first time in many years.
