Torrance, CA: American Honda Motor Company’s Powersports Division announced today that Cooper Webb, a 14-year-old Honda rider, has been awarded the AMA Youth Motocrosser of the Year Award. Once a year, this honor is granted to the top youth competitor who not only demonstrates an ability to perform on the track, but is also judged to be a role model among his young peers. Cooper has repeatedly proven that he meets all these requirements and so he was selected to receive this prestigious award.
Keith Dowdle, Assistant Manager HRCA, said, "Cooper has been a part of the American Honda/Red Bull JAMS program for four years and during that time he has proven to be a talent both on and off the track. Cooper has appeared in several American Honda advertisements and in a number of our dealer convention videos. He is well spoken and does a great job of promoting our CRF150R product line. Manufacturers want riders who are not just fast on the track but can also communicate well regarding the product line, and Cooper is great in both roles. We are very proud of him and we are thrilled that the AMA has recognized him for his skills on and off the track."
Hailing from Newport, N.C., Webb has been racing a Honda Red Bull Racing CRF150R in 2010, and has earned more than 40 national championship plus other accolades since he began his racing career 10 years ago.

Loretta Lynn's Wrap Up
Courtesy of MX Sports
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The 29th Annual AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by AMSOIL came to a close on Saturday afternoon at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. After a solid week of racing, 35 class champions were crowned. They emerged victorious from 1,406 finalists, who in turn had emerged from an initial qualifying field of more than 20,000 amateur motocross athletes. Each championship class ran three long motos-some in scorching heat, others in muddy conditions-on a rough and complicated ranch track that is off-limits for motocross riders the other 51 weeks of the year.
The AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship finals have been organized since their 1982 founding by MX Sports. A list of past champions includes such superstars as Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Travis Pastrana, James Stewart, Kevin Windham, Ryan Dungey, and more.
Earning the 450 A class title along with the AMA's prestigious Horizon Award was Team Green Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson. The New Mexico-based rider won four of his six motos during the week; a DNF in the 250 A/Pro Sport class after winning the first two motos likely cost him the title there. That victory instead went to his teammate Zack Freeberg, leaving Anderson with one last chance to take a title in the 450 A class. After starting the moto with an astonishing three crashes on the first lap, Anderson settled down and worked his way up from last to fifth to clinch the championship.
The two other A-class winners were Rockstar Suzuki teammates Gannon Audette and Ian Trettel. Audette, a Minnesota native who is now based in Cairo, Ga., topped the 450 A/Pro Sport division with a three-moto sweep, while the Florida-based Trettel topped the 250 A class with 2-1-1 moto scores. Winning the last two motos, Trettel topped Audette-the first-moto winner here-both times to take a title of his own.
As a testament to the competitiveness of the field, only two riders managed to take a pair of class wins: Team Green Kawasaki rider Justin Bogle (450 B Stock and 250 B Modified) and Suzuki rider Austin Forkner (85cc 9-11 Stock and Mod). Bogle, who hails from Oklahoma, was the only rider all week to go undefeated, sweeping all three motos in both of his classes and setting himself up as a top prospect in 2011.
Other B-class champions included California's Chris Plouffe (450 B Modified), Texan Brad Frace (250 B Stock) and another Californian, Tyler Bereman, in the College-Age (17-24) group. And in one of the best stories of the week, Vet +30 B/C rider David Jones took the title on a 2004 Kawasaki KX125 two-stroke motorcycle.
The AMA Vet Rider of the Year Award went to Massachusetts' Keith Johnson, who topped Kevin Walker to take the Vet +35 title. Walker in turn took his record-extending fourteenth Loretta Lynn's title in the Senior +40 class, as the Tennessean topped California's Doug Dubach. Dubach himself responded with the Senior +45 title on his DRD-backed Yamaha. The winner of the Masters +50 class was Monster Energy Kawasaki-backed Matt Tedder, the father of four young riders, two of whom are currently on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship tour.
The minicycle divisions featured many interesting storylines. There was North Carolinian Cooper Webb's rise to the top on the Joe Gibbs Racing-powered Honda Red Bull Racing CRF150, giving the four-stroke a win in the highly competitive SuperMini 1 class-this after losing the SuperMini 2 class title with a last-lap gaffe that opened the door for the very fast Jace Owen to snatch up the title on his Rockstar Suzuki. There was also the emergence of Vermont's Dakota Alix to the national stage in the SuperMini classes, as well as the lost week of heavily-favored Adam Cianciarulo, who suffered crashes and DNFs on his Monster Energy Kawasakis and did not take a single moto win on the week.
In other 85cc racing, West Virginia's Steven Gretchen topped the 85cc (12-14) class on his American Suzuki-backed RM80, and Oregon's Christopher Allredge raced his Yamaha to the 85cc (12-14) Stock championship.
In the Women's classes, California's Alexah Pearson took home the title in the big-bike class, while Utah's Amanda Maheu topped the minicycle division.

METAL + MOTOCROSS + MAYHEM = RED BULL METALLICROSS
Courtesy of Red Bull
Los Angeles, CA – August 10, 2010 – This October, the stars will align to create one of most unique and challenging tracks motocross has ever seen. Five of the world's best motocross athletes will come together to design and build a "dream track" blending several two-wheel off-road disciplines. The athletes - James Stewart, Travis Pastrana, Ronnie Renner, David Knight and Geoff Aaron - will bring to life a track that unites design elements from supercross, motocross, endurocross, freestyle and trials. Each of the five riders will contribute a portion to the total design, and the result will be a mash-up of everything they’ve always wanted to put into a race track, but were never allowed to do. This motocross melting pot will be known as Red Bull Metallicross, and will be held at the venerable Pala Raceway on Saturday, October 23.
With some of the best talent in motocross serving as designers, the track will definitely be revolutionary, but it will also have a theme to bump the excitement up a few more notches. As Red Bull Metallicross implies, it will not only feature top-level motocross action, but “metal” music as well. Rock and metal bands will perform on the track in-between each round of racing, and the event will culminate with a special performance by a top heavy metal group.
Red Bull Metallicross is open to pros and amateurs alike, but the track will not be for the faint of heart. The track will be as unforgiving as it will be revolutionary, and will feature: a nearly two story drop into the first turn; a 12-foot-high step-up; dirt-to-concrete whoops; a creek crossing; stretches of sand; a stair set made of railroad ties; explosions and geysers of flame. The racing format will also add some new wrinkles and twists to traditional racing. There will be several heat races, a last chance qualifier and wildcard elements that will keep the fans riveted to the action on the track and give every rider a true chance to prove themselves.
“When I was approached to help design a section of the Red Bull Metallicross track, I jumped all over it,” said Stewart. “I have always had some pretty crazy thoughts about obstacles and elements to a track. Now with this special event it gives me the blank canvas I need to put these crazy elements together. You can look forward to some wild stuff that will take each athlete's absolute best to navigate and survive.”
“Metallicross is going to be the raddest event ever. I'm pumped to be a part of something so revolutionary to the sport,” said Renner. “We have a chance to help design our own real life video game…this event is going to be all-time!”
Aspiring racers will have the chance to earn a spot in the main event during one of two regional qualifier events. The top 10 riders from each qualifier will move on and pit themselves against some of the best professionals in the world at the Red Bull Metallicross main event. Qualifiers will take place at the following locations:
September 25: E-Street MX, Riverfront Track, Sacramento, Calif.
October 2: Pala Raceway, Pala, Calif.
“Pala Raceway is honored to host Red Bull Metallicross, as we know from previous events how far Red Bull pushes the envelope,” said Ryan Ouellette, president MXMPI/Pala Raceway. “While we are in the middle of getting ready for the Pala National, we can hardly wait to begin construction on the course and progress the sport.”
TRACK DESIGNERS:
James Stewart
2007 and 2009 Supercross and 2008 AMA Motocross champion (perfect 24 for 24 season).
Travis Pastrana
17-time X Games medalist (11 gold), 2000 AMA 125cc Motocross champion, 2001 125cc East Supercross champion and 2006 Red Bull X-Fighters series champion. First rider to complete a motorcycle double backflip.
Ronnie Renner
X Games gold medalist, Red Bull X-Fighters Mexico City winner and Guinness World Record holder for Highest Air on a Motorcycle.
David Knight
Two-time World Enduro Champion and two-time Grand National Cross Country Champion, two-time Red Bull Last Man Standing winner.
Geoff Aaron
Ten-time AMA Trials Champion, 2009 AMA EnduroCross Champion, and 73 career National wins.

WPS/Fly Racing Constructs On Site MX Test Track
In celebration of 50 years of doing business in the powersports industry, WPS and Fly Racing recently completed construction of an on site motocross test track and proving grounds at its Boise, Idaho headquarters. “We needed a more efficient way to test and develop Fly Racing products that allows us to gather instant feedback,” stated Craig Shoemaker, President and Owner of WPS and Fly Racing. “Having a motocross track right here at our Boise facility will not only enable us to develop new products easier and bring them to market quicker, it also allows us to conduct our own photo shoots on sight.”
Using a hands-on approach, Shoemaker, along with his brother Jamison (long time employee and resident photographer), logged countless hours on the company’s bulldozer and front-end loader, shaping and sculpting the track into a top-notch facility. In addition to its use as a test track, Shoemaker decided to pass along the benefits of an on sight motocross track to its employees through scheduled company ride days. “We’re a company that rides motorcycles and that’s filled with motocross enthusiasts, so we decided to give something back to our employees through scheduled track days. It’s been a huge hit and a lot of fun for our employees to ride dirt bikes together—not to mention a great way to build team spirit and morale. A special thanks to everyone who helped make this track a reality, and to Tallon Vohland at Acerbis for sending us the track markers.”

Rockwell Athletes Flashin’ Gold at X!
Courtesy of Rockwell Time
Rockwell Athletes Flashin’ Gold at X!
SALT LAKE CITY, UT (August 6, 2010) Rockwell athletes Matt Buyten and Ashley Fiolek both brought home gold medals this past weekend at X Games 16. Buyten edged out fellow Rockwell athlete Ronnie Renner in the Moto X Step Up competition and took gold after clearing a height of 33’ 6’’. Renner put up a fight and posted a 32’ 6’’, good enough for silver. When asked what this win means to him, Buyten replied, “It means everything. Every year it’s a dogfight. These guys out here are amazing. Everyone makes it look easy, but it’s not. That landing sucks. I’ve got a chiropractor and massage appointment lined up for Monday.”
Rockwell’s Ashley Fiolek also came home with some golden hardware. Fiolek laid down some fast laps on her CRF and topped the Women’s Super X, adding another gold to her collection. After taking the win two years straight, Ashley will be looking to three-peat in 2011.
Rockwell Team riders Justin Brayton and Chris Blose finished 2nd and 6th respectively in the Men’s Super X while Ricky James finished 9th in the Super X Adaptive.
Remember, if you aren’t rockin’ Rockwell, you just ain’t rockin’ it right!

Corona, CA 92879
If you are unsure as to what a resume should include, or have other questions about sponsorship, please read the following.
What to include in a resume:
By sending a resume in to Answer Racing, you are showing interest in representing Answer Racing. Keep this in mind in everything you do on and off the track.
When you send your resume in, make sure it is neatly typed. Please USE A SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK.
1. One of the most important things your resume should have is your name, contact information, phone number and address clearly visible somewhere on your resume. The envelope you send your resume in doesn’t always stay with the resume. We can’t sponsor you if we can’t reach you.
2. A brief bio on yourself is a good start. This could include things such as;
A little background info on yourself, your age, and the class and races you plan on racing in the UPCOMING season.
3. Your Current Report card (if you are still in School). This is not mandatory, but can be beneficial. Education is very important and we like to see that you are excelling in school as well as on the track.
4. Current results and career highlights. Your previous year’s results and any championships or highlights should be included. We do not need to see every place in every moto of your entire career. Keep it simple.
5. Pictures are good to include, but not to many. 1 to 4 photos is sufficient. Please be aware any PICTURES submitted with rider resumes WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Action shots are great, a head shot, and possibly a picture of your pit area. DO NOT SEND VIDEOS, DVD’s, or CD’s. Our staff is simply to busy to view these and they will not be returned.
What Levels of Sponsorship Do We Offer And Who Gets Them?
What Levels of Support does Answer Offer?
The most common level of support we offer is 50% off retail. This makes up the majority of our program. We do also offer sponsorships that involves free product. However there is an extremely limited number of free product sponsorships, and they are mainly earned by racers that are consistently placing in the top 5 nationally on the amateur level. As far as pro level riders we still offer 50% off retail, other than that, the next level is being a factory rider.
Who has the best chance of getting sponsored?
We would love to help everyone if we could, but it’s just not possible. It’s going to come down to results and exposure. Good results typically result in good exposure.
Our Advice; just continue working hard, hitting the races, being a good representative, and never give up. If you are doing these, chances are you will earn the support you deserve.Was this post helpful? Add yours to our service or subscribe to our feed above.
