"Can I get a Reeeed Buuuuud?" The iconic chant heard each summer at the famous motocross facility in Buchanan, MI. Started in 1972 by Gene Ritchie, the entire facility is one of the most well-liked amongst the motocross community. Running the track was always a family affair, with Gene joined by his son Tim and daughter Amy the track grew from humble beginnings to one of the premier tracks in the world.
In addition to the annual AMA Motocross National event held each July, in 2018 the Ritchie’s hosted the world's best with the Motocross of Nations widely recognized as a huge success with the largest Motocross of Nations attendance recorded. The Ritchie’s also host a Quad National, Loretta Lynn’s Qualifier and much more each year at the track.
The Legends and Heroes Tour Traveling Moto Museum will honor motocross promoters Tim and Amy Ritchie during the Saturday's Supercross opening ceremonies in Indianapolis. The fan activation includes the popular display of vintage machines and memorabilia in the pits. With the help of tour sponsor EZ-Up Shelters, the new for 2019 design features a walk-through timeline that celebrates supercross champions, and since 2019 marks the 45th season of AMA Supercross, it showcases the first champions and their machines. The tour stands behind the belief that “We Don’t Leave History Behind” and has kept the founding fathers, and mothers, pure in their thoughts by honoring the men and women that shaped supercross and motocross into what it is today.
