MORGANTOWN,
W. Va. (April 13, 2022) -
With the invaluable support
of the motocross industry,
MX Sports has announced
“Operation Ranch Rebuild” in
continuation of its
spearheaded efforts to
restore the racetrack and
campground at Tennessee’s
famed Loretta Lynn’s Ranch.
As part of this organized
effort,
MX Sports and the
Road 2 Recovery Foundation
will also provide crucial
funds to the community of
Waverly as Humphreys County
continues its recovery
efforts from the tragic
flooding that overwhelmed
the region last August.
“It’s hard to believe eight
months have passed since
this incredibly tragic
disaster hit Humphreys
County and left tremendous
loss in its wake, but from
the moment it happened it
has been our mission to be a
leader in the recovery
efforts for Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch and the community of
Waverly,” said Tim Cotter,
Event Director, MX Sports.
“Since then, we’ve rallied
the motocross community to
come together in benefit of
those who need our help the
most and have raised more
than $350,000 through our ‘Racers
4 Waverly’ fundraising
initiative with the Road 2
Recovery Foundation.
“Now, the time has come to
put all this goodwill into
action, bringing forth
‘Operation Ranch Rebuild’ as
the next step of this
process. Not only will we
bring a team in excess of 60
selfless individuals to help
us bring the Ranch back to
life, but we’ll also begin
the process of donating the
money raised to individuals,
families, and small
businesses within Waverly.”

MX Sports’ team will be
joined by North
Carolina-based Makson
Construction, owned by
Phoenix Racing’s David
Eller, in addition to
members of Georgia-based
Yamaha Motor Corporation.
Makson will provide all the
necessary labor and heavy
equipment for the rebuild,
while Yamaha, which has been
heavily involved in the
recovery efforts from the
outset, has already
purchased all the lumber for
the project.
The group comprising
“Operation Ranch Rebuild”
will also be accompanied by
government officials from
Humphreys County and
community leaders from
Waverly, Hurricane Mills,
and beyond. While
considerable work is already
underway at Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch, including the rebuild
of the iconic motocross
track used for August’s
annual Monster Energy AMA
Amateur Motocross National
Championship, the world’s
single-largest motocross
event, the recovery project
will officially get underway
on Tuesday, April 19, with
work continuing until
completion.
