MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(July 12, 2022) –
A recent
announcement from
ESPN unveiled the
2022 ESPY Award
nominations, where
newly
crowned Monster
Energy AMA
Supercross Champion
and three-time Lucas
Oil Pro Motocross
Champion Eli
Tomac is nominated
for his first ESPY
Award in the Best
Athlete, Men’s
Action Sports

The Monster Energy Star
Yamaha Racing rider
enjoyed a
memorable Supercross
season in his debut with
the team, winning seven
races during the
grueling 17-round
championship, which also
included 11 total podium
finishes en route to his
second 450SX Class title

Colorado native has kept
the momentum going into
the summer with an

Halfway through the
12-round season, Tomac
has amassed three
straight wins and now
sits one point out of
the championship lead in
the 450 Class with six
rounds remaining.
Voting for the 2022 ESPY
Awards is now open and

Tomac through Sunday,
