AMA Pro Racing announces 2001 Motocross/Superbike National Numbers
22 September 2000
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- AMA Pro Racing has announced the rider numbers for
competitors in the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Motocross Championships and the AMA EA
Sports Supercross Series.
The numbers are based on a system instituted last year that is designed to
allow past champions, current champions and riders who have earned a top-10
national ranking to select and retain the same national number from year to
year.
This is how the system works: Number 1 is reserved for the current national
champion in each series; numbers 2 through 9 are reserved for past national
champions in active competition. Riders who completed the 1999 season ranked in
the top 10 chose any available national number, which they keep until they
withdraw from competition, or fail to earn a national point.
In 2000, riders who earned career numbers were: Jeremy McGrath, 2; Jeff
Emig, 3; Ricky Carmichael, 4; Mike LaRocco, 5; Steve Lamson, 6; Greg Albertyn,
7; Larry Ward, 10; Ezra Lusk, 11; Jimmy Button, 12; Kevin Windham, 14; Timmy
Ferry, 15; John Dowd, 16; Robbie Reynard, 17; Doug Henry, 19, and Damon Huffman,
20.
Riders carrying career numbers for the first time in 2001 are: Sebastien
Tortelli, 13; Brock Sellards, 18; Stephane Roncada, 21; Travis Pastrana, 199;
and David Vuillemin, 934.
The rest of the field are assigned available numbers corresponding to their
earned national ranking. Riders placing in the top 100 will be assigned
available two-digit numbers until those numbers are depleted.
