Wednesday was day two of the "Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by AMSOIL". As the days go on, the racing only becomes more intense and much, much hotter. The temperature reads ninety-three in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., although it feels like one hundred and fifteen with the heat index. The hydration tent was set up in the impound area to provide riders with the proper hydration tools to prevent post race heat exhaustion.
Several past and current AMA champions were around the Loretta Lynn's pits on Wednesday, with appearances by Kawasaki's Dean Wilson and 2011 AMA Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto, KTM's Mike Brown and Andrew Short, Fox Racing's Jeff Emig and Multi-time Supercross and MX champ Ricky Carmichael and Arenacross Champion Tyler Bowers, all on site signing autographs and hanging out with fans. During Intermission, Wilson and Villopoto returned to the track they once dominated as amateurs to introduce the 2012 Kawasaki's. KTM's Andrew Short and off-road racing star Mike Brown hit the track as well, introducing KTM's 2012 lineup of both 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke motorcycles.
