With the biggest amateur race in the world quickly approaching, our man Jeff Simpson has been previewing the amateur scene. Check out Part I, Part II and Part III of our Loretta Lynn’s preview. While success at Loretta’s doesn’t always translate into titles, money and factory rides at the pro level, it’s typically a decent gauge. With that in mind, let’s look at how many titles at the Ranch the current top 10 in the 250 Class in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross racked up… or didn’t.
