AMA Motocross Championship

Motorsport Championships

The AMA Motocross Championship, sold commercially as the Pro Motocross Championship, is the major outdoor motocross series in the United States. The American Motorcyclist Association founded and sanctioned it in 1972, and it is now sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing and managed by MX Sports Pro Racing. Its national champions are recorded class by class, with separate tables for most championships and most overall wins by rider, and the season is carried on American television through the NBC family of networks. The article pairs it with the AMA Supercross Championship, its indoor counterpart, and keeps a list of the venues the series has visited.
