The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship features the world’s fastest outdoor motocross racers, racing aboard the best bikes each factory offers, on the roughest, toughest tracks in the world. Motocross racing is survival of the fittest as well as the fastest every weekend; it’s where legends like Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, James Stewart, and Ryan Villopoto were built.

The newest member of the Alli family of action sports, Motocross is the original extreme action sport, and the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship is the pinnacle of pure motocross. The 12-rounds series, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, begins in California on Memorial Day weekend in May and ends in Pennsylvania on Labor Day weekend in September. It includes stops at the premier motocross racing facilities in America, with events in Colorado, Texas, Massachusetts, Washington, New York, Maryland and Michigan. The pro riders meet up on Saturday afternoon, with competition divided into two classes: one for 250cc bikes, and one for 450cc machines. Also, eight of the rounds feature the rapidly-growing Pro Women’s Motocross Championship, and the final round features Pro ATV Motocross.

Pour ceux qui ont du mal comprendre l’anglias, le Championnat AMA de motocross est le championnat des États-Unis de motocross. Régi par l’American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), celui-ci fait suite dans la saison américaine au championnat de supercross AMA. Du fait de la grande popularité de cette dernière épreuve aux États-Unis, de nombreux sponsors sont présent ce qui offre aux pilotes des salaires plus important que ce qui se pratique dans le championnat du monde de motocross. Le plateau est important et de nombreux pilotes rejoignent rapidement le circuit américain.
