TORRANCE, California – July 25, 2020 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Due to a variety of considerations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, American Honda demonstrated today that it will not be officially offered at the upcoming AMA National Amateur Motorcycle Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. To compensate for the lack of support in person, Honda offers a $250 Red Rider Rewards bonus to all Honda drivers who have qualified for the prestigious event.
The resolution made in the context of an accumulation in the number of CASES of COVID-19, hospitalizations and deaths in California, the state of the home of American Honda and Factory Connection Racing (which manages Amsoil Honda’s elite amateur racing effort). The American Honda did not skimp on the coronavirus, which prompted the resolution of restricting the movement of personnel. By reducing the number of other people on the site, Honda hopes to contribute to the protection of those for whom presence is of course most essential.
“Missing Loretta’s was a difficult decision that we made reluctantly, but it’s what we genuinely hope is in everyone’s best interest,” explained Brandon Wilson, American Honda’s Manager of Advertising & Motorcycle Sports. “Our activity at this event has always been about interacting with our customers, their families and the rest of the amateur MX community. Sitting it out this year is a product of circumstance and isn’t a reflection of our support of amateur racing. We’re extremely proud of every Red Rider who has qualified for Loretta’s and we’ll miss spending time with our friends and racers in the pits at the Ranch this year. We wish everyone there a safe and successful experience, and we look forward to seeing you and supporting you in person in 2021.”
Honda drivers who have qualified for the AMA National Motorcycle Championship and are already registered for Red Rider Rewards in XTRM can do so here.
