Husaberg rider Nick Fahringer will return for his third year with the Husaberg brand. Fahringer continues to improve each season finishing the 2010 National Enduro season in 5th overall after earning seven top five finishes and winning multiple single tests. Like Lafferty, Fahringer will set his sights on the AMA National Enduro title while also competing in select GNCC and OMA events.

“Mike and Nick make a great team and we feel they will continue to be great representatives for the Husaberg brand on the east coast racing circuits. Each rider is now familiar with the new bike and continues to improve their race results each outing. We are hoping to see Husaberg as a regular on the National Enduro series podium,” stated Husaberg Team Manager Antti Kallonen.

Yamaha Ready for Battle and the 2011 SX Season
Cypress Calif., December 16, 2010 – Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S. is pleased to announce its entire line-up of teams ready to battle for the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
Headlining the assault is James Stewart. Signed to a two-year contract with L & M Racing, James is looking forward to winning his second title for Yamaha on his YZ450F. He’s currently in lock down in Florida putting the finishing touches on his race prep and testing so he can come out with both barrels blazing at Anaheim 1.
Joining Stewart on Team L & M is Texas phenom Kyle Regal. Always a threat to podium outdoors, Regal has spent the last few months honing his Supercross skills turning lap after lap around the Yamaha Supercross test track.
For 2011 Star Racing owner Bobby Regan has placed team management reigns in the very capable hands of Allan Brown. Brown has assembled a new roster of riders to take the YZ250F to the front of the Lites Championship. After racing for the team at last year’s Nationals, Gareth Swanepoel is returning from the 2010 season. New members joining Gareth are Ryan Sipes, Kyle Cunningham and rookie sensation Gannon Audette.
Joe Gibbs Racing is back for 2011 with a two man threat of Justin Brayton and Davi Millsaps. Fresh from a off-season that saw him win international races in both Australia and Switzerland, Brayton is looking forward to bringing his podium streak to Anaheim 1. After a rough end to the 2010 season Millsaps has spent the off-season healing up and getting ready for a 450 challenge in 2011.
Valli Motorsports owner Chad Lanza is excited about the 2011 season with veteran Nick Wey mentoring 450 Class rookie Austin Stroupe. Both riders being new to the team and they are excited about the possibilities the 2011 season holds.
The MotoConcepts Team ended the 2010 Season on a high with Kyle Chisholm taking home the ”Privateer of the Year” honors. Things haven’t cooled off for Chisholm as he took home a well deserved second place at the prestigious Bercy Supercross during the off-season. Another big off-season development for the team was the hiring of David Vuillemin, a highly successful racer in his own right, as team manager. With his wealth of knowledge David will help guide riders Kyle Chisholm, new comer Tommy Hahn and Vince Friese to reach their ultimate goals in 2011.
In addition to fielding an impressive team with Weston Peick, Jared Brown, Drew Yenerich, Joey Rossi, Alex Millican and Jeff Alessi, Rock River Motorsports will once again be on hand at every Supercross supporting Yamaha racers with a wide assortment of OEM parts to ensure that their YZs are running up to their utmost potential.
“We are very excited to have all of our teams returning to fight for the 2011 Racing series and look forward to coming out of the gate at the opener with a strong start to the season” said Yamaha Racing Division Manager, Keith McCarty.“They did a great job representing the Yamaha brand last year and with contingency and parts available in the pits I’m looking forward to an even better finish in 2011 for all our Yamaha racers”.
The season opener gets underway at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on Saturday January 8th.

2011 Loretta Lynn's Regional Schedule Announced

Courtesy of MX Sports
Morgantown, W.Va. - MX Sports, producers of the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch, announce today the 2011 Regional Championship Schedule. The Regional Championships serve as the final races to seed riders into the National Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch, and only riders who finish in a qualifying position at a regional event are eligible to race the national.

"We're excited to announce this schedule, which includes an all-star cast of regional tracks, including six venues with experience holding AMA Pro National events" says MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. "The tracks have been selected based on their ability to produce large and complicated events."

"The best amateur motocross racers in the world earn their way to the top through the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships," says AMA Motocross Manager Kip Bigelow. "But qualifying to line up at Loretta Lynn's isn't easy. These competitors must race their way through a challenging Area and Regional qualifying system that guarantees a best-of-the-best lineup at the championships every summer. The AMA is looking forward to working with the dedicated and talented staff at MX Sports, and all the local track organizers who will make this happen in 2011."

Of note, Gatorback Raceway in Winter Garden, Florida, appears on the schedule for the first time in years, reducing the travel for the many Florida-based riders who usually travel further north for their Regional Championship. Thunder Valley Raceway in Lakewood, Colorado will host the South Central Regional Championship, a welcome break for the many Colorado riders who usually have to travel to Regional Championships further south. As always, the Regional Championship tracks revolve on a rotating schedule year-to-year.

The 2011 season – which will be the 40th year of this tour – is going to be another epic chapter in American Motocross.
“We have also been exploring several new facilities in the Southeast,” added Coombs. “The area is one of the most popular regions of the country for off-road motorcycles, and it is the hope of MX Sports that we will be able to announce a new addition to the schedule for 2012.”
Each stop of the 12-round championship will showcase the premier 450 Class, featuring reigning national champion Ryan Dungey, along with the 250 Class, which will crown a new champion in 2011 with the graduation of 2010 title holder Trey Canard into the premier division.
