AMA Announces Award Nominees
The American
Motorcycle Association (AMA) has announced the nominees for its
end-of-year awards ceremony, which recognizes racers and members of
the motorsports community who had truly great seasons.
"These racers and organizers went above and beyond during the 2010
season," said AMA Director of Racing Joe Bromley. "They have
represented the AMA well, and in their own ways have advanced the
AMA mission to promote the motorcycling lifestyle and protect the
future of motorcycling."
Most of the attention will likely be paid to the nominees in the
AMA Racing Motorcycle Athlete of the Year category. Those up for
the award include Jason Anderson, Briar Bauman, Hayden Gillim,
Charlie Mullins and Daniel Bromley. All riders won awards or
championships in their sport or division this year, making the
category truly competitive.
Fans of ATV racing will likely be fixated on the race for the ATV
Athlete of the Year award. Competitors include Michael Coburn,
Dustin Hoffman, Joel Hetrick, Brian Childs and Chris Borich.
Other categories include the Veteran Rider of the Year, Female
Rider of the Year and Youth Rider of the Year. There will also be
categories for media coverage and race organizers.
The winners will be announced at the 2010 AMA Racing Championship
Banquet at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas on November 20th.
