List of Champions from Loretta Lynn’s

The 20th Annual AMA Amateur National MX Championships at Loretta Lynn’s wrapped up Saturday, August 11th.



James “Bubba” Stewart became the winningest amateur ever with 11 total championships. He won every moto of the 125 Mod 12-15 and 125 A classes this week.



Andrew Short won the 125 A Pro Sport class after a close battle with Josh Hansen and Chase Reed. Hanson won the 250/Open B Mod title. Josh Woods won the 250/Open Pro Sport.



Mountain bike legend John Tomac won the Vet B/C class in a last moto thriller. Tomac went down in the first turn of the last moto and moved up far enough to finish second overall, then Rodney Cavender, who also fell in the first turn and was about to take the title, was knocked off his bike on the last lap.



Minibike sensation Mike Alessi won the 85 Mod 9-13 class. Broc Hepler won the 85 Mod 14-15. The toughest mini class, the 105 Super Mini, went to Jimmy Nelson.



The Women’s 105-125 Up class had great racing, with Stefy Bau finishing 1-1-2 and taking her first Loretta’s title. Defending champion Jessica Patterson suffered a broken leg while leading the second moto.



Tennessee’s Kevin Walker was the fastest old guy, winning both the Vet A Plus 30 and the Plus 25 classes.



The Loretta’s Lynn’s Amateur championships are seen as the most important preparation for professional motocross racing. Scouts and representatives attend the event throughout the week to congratulate the winners, pose for photos, and make the all-important deals for the nest season. Twelve minibike riders in the 85 Stock 12-13 class were chosen here to compete in the prestigious US Open at the Las vegas MGM Grand in October.
