AMA Racing National Champion Recognition Policy

Beginning with the 2009 season, AMA Racing will offer unique recognition to its "A" class National Champions. This honor will recognize riders who have excelled at the pinnacle of amateur competition and encourage all riders to strive to realize their dream of an AMA National Championship No. 1 plate.

AMA Racing will award AMA Racing National Championship No. 1 plates only to riders competing in "A" classes in AMA Racing National Championship Series and AMA Racing Grand Championship events. These plates will be personalized to include the series/championship title, class and rider name.

These personalized Championship No. 1 plates will be presented at AMA Racing’s annual awards banquet to be held at the conclusion of the current racing season.

In addition to this special recognition for AMA Racing "A" class National Champions, all class champions will receive an award acknowledging their AMA Racing National Championship at the annual awards banquet.

For the AMA Racing Dirt Track Grand Championships, the AMA Racing National Championship No. 1 plates will be awarded to class champions based on total points accumulated in a single class.

Riders are encouraged to review the Supplemental Regulations for each championship series that they are competing in for additional requirements. Supplemental Regulations can be found at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rulebooks.
