MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (March
25, 2022) – MX Sports
Pro Racing has announced
the celebrated
continuation of the Moto
Hero program for the
2022
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro
Racing. This heartfelt
initiative shines the
spotlight on individuals
within the motocross
community, specifically
active duty and veteran
military personnel in
addition to first
responders, who have
gone above and beyond in
an act of selflessness
to help their community
or someone in need.
The Moto Hero program
was introduced to honor
the service of all
veterans and public
first responders through
recognition of a
nominated member of the
motocross community.
While the award itself
celebrates the service
of one deserving
individual, it is done
so in tribute to all
service members and
first responders, and
what they’ve given of
themselves in their
commitment to public
service.

“The Lucas Oil Pro
Motocross Championship
is just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to
the greater motocross
community. The fans,
enthusiasts, and weekend
warriors who live and
breathe the sport are
the lifeblood who
provide us with an
opportunity to build the
stage on which the
world’s fastest racers
showcase their talents,”
said Tim Cotter, Event
Director, MX Sports Pro
Racing. “As organizers
of the series, we look
to embrace the communal
element of motocross in
every way possible and
the Moto Hero program
has given us a platform
to celebrate and
recognize the special
members of our community
who put others ahead of
themselves at all times.
We can never truly thank
our service members and
first responders enough
for their contributions,
nor properly honor the
sacrifices they’ve made,
but this well-deserved
recognition amongst the
fanfare of the Nationals
allows us to share a
token of our
appreciation.”br />
EEach Moto Hero that will
be recognized at every
one of the 12 rounds of
the 2022 season will
ultimately be selected
by each respective event
organizer. Each
recipient will receive a
specially designed Moto
Hero number plate,
commemorating their
coveted distinction and
recognition on behalf of
the world’s most
prestigious off-road
motorcycle racing
series.
