ATV Motocross has been a large part of my life for the past 18 years. It has given me a reason to get in shape and stay in shape, and the friendships that have formed along the way have been a very important part of who I have become. ATV Motocross family is special, and that’s why I’m proud to announce that for the upcoming 2026 year, I’ll be giving a total of $1,000 of cash sponsorships (FIVE $200 awards) to FIVE ATV Motocross racers in MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN, or IOWA, that represent the spirit of the sport. Those that exhibit exemplary sportsmanship on and off the track. Those that provide assistance and support for their fellow riders in the pits. Those that show exceptional dedication to the sport.
- You DO NOT need to be racing AMA District or Nationals events to apply. Local outlaw series, motocross or supercross alike, are just fine!
- You DO NOT need to be a pro, and your race results aren’t all that important. In fact, I particularly encourage riders that are starting out but striving to improve their skill to apply.
- You DO NOT need to be an adult, however, if you are chosen as a sponsorship recipient, you will need to provide parent or guardian contact information to receive the award.
- You DO need to value sportsmanship and camaraderie with your fellow riders.
- You DO need to live in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Iowa.
- You DO need to show dedication to running one or more race series where you’ll be eligible for year-end awards. In other words, racing at least the minimum amount of races for one of them.
- You DO need to understand that your actions in the pits and on the track represent you, your family, your sponsors, and your sport.
FIVE $200 awards will be announced in February 2026. To be paid in CASH through Venmo, PayPal, or check.
To apply, please include:
- Your name
- Your age
- City and state where you live
- Your grade-point average (if you’re a student)
- How long you’ve been riding
- What kind of machine you ride
- Pictures of you and your machine
- Social media links
- Race resume with a list of events you’ve participated in this last year or two
- List of goals for 2026
- And finally, a well-written short essay (two or three paragraphs) about what sportsmanship and ATV Motocross mean to you. Feel free to include an example or two about how you’ve helped a rider in time of need, or a time where you felt your sportsmanship was most tested and how you responded.
