• Lucas Oil Sponsors AMA Pro Motocross Championship














    INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.
    - As the new era of professional motocross in America continues to take
    shape, a large piece of the puzzle was revealed this morning when Lucas
    Oil announced it will serve as the AMA Pro Motocross Championship title
    sponsor for the next three years. This announcement comes on the heels
    of the groundbreaking marketing and media partnership formed between MX
    Sports and Alli, the Alliance of Action Sports, around what will now be
    known as the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.


    No stranger to motorsports, Lucas Oil will continue to broaden its
    exposure by joining one of the most historic racing series in the
    country. In turn, the AMA Pro Motocross Championship will achieve new
    levels of publicity, reaching a much broader fan base throughout the
    motor racing and action sports communities.


    "Lucas Oil is the perfect partner to help us fulfill our promise to
    our athletes and teams, our fans and the entire motorcycle industry
    that we would take this series unprecedented levels of television
    coverage and exposure," said MX Sports Vice President Davey Coombs. "MX
    Sports could not be prouder to work with Forrest (Lucas) and his
    company; their commitment to the quality of their products, as well as
    to motorsports racing at all levels, is remarkable."


    "We're thrilled that the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship is
    a part of the Alliance", said Alli president Wade Martin. Lucas Oil is
    a perfect compliment to the series. We look forward to working with
    both of these great companies in elevating the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
    Championship through the wide range of media and marketing platforms
    Alli will provide."


    Now an official series sponsor for nine racing properties from
    off-road, to drag boat, and even AMA EnduroCross, Lucas Oil gladly
    welcomes AMA Pro Motocross into its diverse racing family. Officially
    titled the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, Lucas Oil's
    involvement subsequently thrusts the series into the national spotlight
    with live television coverage on both NBC and SPEED, as well as
    same-day tape-delayed coverage. MX Sports will also be announcing a
    comprehensive international television package that allows fans all
    over the world to follow the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.


    "Lucas Oil is excited to be a part of the revitalization of
    motocross," explained Lucas Oil Executive Vice President Bob Patison.
    "This is an opportunity to bring motocross to a large worldwide
    audience that wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to experience the
    excitement and tremendous skill involved in this sport.


    "On our behalf, this is not only a commitment to sales and
    marketing, but truly bringing the AMA Pro Motocross Championship into
    the upper echelon of motorsports. We are putting our best resources
    from Lucas Oil into our involvement with the series and we will do
    everything in our power to help the sport grow. We are dedicated to
    making American motocross as good as we possibly can."


    "(MX Sports) is also proud to announce that longtime series sponsor
    Toyota will continue its involvement as the Official Truck of the Lucas
    Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship," stated MX Sports Director of
    Operations John Ayers. "Their support is invaluable to the sport and
    without their involvement motocross would not be where it is today."
