American Motocross All-Stars will rotate between analyst roles for the 50th Anniversary Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship broadcasts

MX Sports Pro Racing has announced a unique and exciting addition to their historic broadcast package for the 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, as the 50th anniversary approaches. During the live broadcasts of all 48 motos this summer on MAVTV Motorsports Network and NBC TV Network, plus streaming on MAVTV Plus, a group of American motocross all-stars will join host and lead commentator Jason Weigandt in the announcers’ booth.

Davey Coombs, President, MX Sports Pro Racing said, “With such an milestone season upon us, not to mention an exciting new partnership with MAVTV Motorsports Network, NBC, and MAVTV Plus that will bring live coverage of every moto for the first time, we wanted to introduce an innovative approach to our broadcast team that aligned with the celebration of the 50th anniversary. As a result, we’ve amassed a collection of some of the most admired and accomplished former racers, many of whom were AMA Pro Motocross Champions, to serve as analysts alongside Weege over the course of the season. This who’s who of American motocross all-stars will provide truly unique insight into the action on the track from one National to the next, allowing our viewers to not only get to know these former athletes a little better, but also gain different perspectives in the pursuit of victory.”

This elite bunch of former riders won 37 AMA Pro Motocross Championships and racked up an astonishing 332 victories. Their cumulative achievement is impressive, but maybe even more so is the enduring influence each individual has had on the sport, whether it was via riding advancement or acting as an inspiration to future generations:
