Dunlop Riders Take Home 34 Championships at Loretta Lynn’s 2025

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – August 5, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) –  The 44th edition of the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s once again showcased the dominance of Dunlop riders, who used their tires to secure 34 out of a possible 36 Championships. This remarkable achievement reinforces Dunlop’s unparalleled success at Loretta’s, with riders clinching an astonishing 93% of available championships over the past twelve years, including an unbroken streak of winning every title for two consecutive years.

This year’s competition was met with extremely hot and humid weather conditions, emphasizing the critical importance of tire selection. The Geomax MX34 and MX14 models rose to the occasion, allowing competitors to navigate the challenging and technical course to determine the class champions.

The current Team Dunlop Elite riders and alumni were particularly impressive, capturing four championships this year. Tayce Morgan made a notable impact, finishing with a 2-2-1 performance in the Mini Sr 1 (12-14) class and a 3-1-1 result in the Mini Sr 2 (13-15) class. Other Team Dunlop Elite champions included Lachlan (Lala) Turner and newcomer Raycin Kyler. Additionally, fellow Team Dunlop Elite riders Gavyn Welzien, Eidan Steinbrecher, Kade Nightingale, Beckham Smith, Mayla Herrick, and Ezra Armbruster also enjoyed a strong week, frequently reaching the podium.

Riders on Dunlop tires dominated the five specialty awards presented for exceptional performances throughout the six-day event. Dunlop-supported rider Sawyer Gieck earned the AMA Motocross Youth Rider of The Year Award, while veteran Dunlop competitor Greg Pamart was recognized with the Vet Rider of the Year Award. Deacon Denno, another standout Dunlop rider, received both the AMA Motocross Amateur Rider of The Year Award and the Oakley Award. Long-time Dunlop athlete Enzo Temmerman, in his final amateur event before turning pro, claimed the AMA Nicky Hayden Horizon Award, winning in the Open Pro Sport and 250 Pro Sport classes.

“It was a long, hot, and humid week filled with exciting racing,” stated Rob Fox, Dunlop Amateur Motocross Support Manager. “The adverse weather conditions posed challenges for our tire fitters and the racers alike. Fortunately, the latest Dunlop tires for all bike sizes made our jobs easier. The MX14’s versatility continues to be a preferred choice for many riders. While we were disappointed to miss out on a few championships, it gives us motivation to strive for more next year. We appreciate that riders have options and extend our gratitude to all who choose Dunlop.”
