MX Sports Center will be continuing their coverage of the Air Nautiques/AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, presented by AMSOIL, through daily internet video shows at this year’s August 4th-9th event at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch for the fifth year in a row. The show will cover both on-and-off track highlights from the Tennesse ranch, which will become the center of the motocross world for a week of championship racing.For 2009, MX Sports Center will air on www.AlliSports.com, the online hub for action-sports competitions. Air dates start on Tuesday August 4, the first day of racing at Loretta Lynn’s; new highlights will air each day of racing. A total of 99 championship motos, covering 33 classes, will decide the 2009 AMA Amateur National Champions in motocross.
As they have been for the last five years, the shows will be hosted by Jason Weigandt and Kevin Kelly. Weigandt is the host of SPEED and NBC's coverage of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, and Kelly is the cofounder and co-host of the cutting-edge DMXS Radio, a weekly bench-racing bonanza for the online community. The producer of the show will be Wes Williams, the same creative mind behind Vurbmoto.com, which chronicles the amateur motocross circuit, as well as online video coverage of pro motocross.
"Loretta's is the hardest week of the year and the best week of the year," says Weigandt, who will fly directly to Tennessee from Washington, where he will host SPEED TV's live coverage of Saturday's Washougal Motocross National. "We try to fit all of that into the show-the fun, the drama, everything that makes this week so unforgettable. That's why they call Loretta Lynn's 'The World's Greatest Motocross Vacation.'"
AMSOIL is the Official Oil and presenting sponsor of Loretta Lynn's. Team AMSOIL will be well represented by top rider Eli Tomac at this year's event. The AMSOIL Racing Blog will provide daily updates from Tennessee."Our roots are in amateur motocross," Williams says of his VurbMoto.com crew, which will man the cameras and editing bays all week at Loretta Lynn's. "We cover all of the amateur events, but MX Sports Center puts the focus on the most important race of them all, Loretta's."
Until then, see you at the races.
