The American Motorcyclist Association has announced the addition of three new regional off-road racing series to their 2025 schedule. The new additions in the northeast, the west, and PA/Ohio will give more racers the opportunity to race under the AMA banner.

J Day Off Road is an existing series with events throughout New England and upstate New York. With this new partnership, it will become the AMA East Grand Prix Regional Championship Series. J Day Off Road Owner Ethan Broatch says this is one of the best things to happen to the series. “The series has grown to its fullest potential up here in New England, and by becoming regional, just opened up doors for a whole new future,” said Broatch in an AMA press release. They’re wasting no time with the new sanctioning, with their first event in Southwick, MA on April 6.

Out west, the Grassroots Off Road Series also joins AMA. The series, whose first 2025 off-road racing event already took place in January, is one of the largest off-road series in Nevada, Idaho, and Utah. “The AMA brings a level of professionalism and consistency we feel racers deserve,” said Grassroots Off Road Series Owner Gary Brough in a press release. “Through co-sanctioning with other AMA clubs and organizations, we are able to bring national-level events to our market. For 2025, we are able to join forces with three additional organizations, and without the AMA, joining forces for such high-level events would be difficult.” The second event of the season was originally scheduled for April 19th in Delta, Utah, but has been rescheduled to April 5 and 6 in Mesquite, NV, as a National Grand Prix Series.

Finally, the American Woods Racing Championship Series will offer 10 rounds of racing in PA and Ohio. These weekend events feature ATVs on Saturday and bikes on Sunday. The first event will take place April 5 and 6 in Fairmount City, PA. A Grand Prix event will also be held in Kittanning, PA, on October 18. “We are excited to be a part of the AMA family,” AWRCS Owner Amy Stiller said in a press release. “The AMA has a long heritage of racing history and prestige. It has helped many amateur racers and series. We look forward to the exposure it will bring to our series and the partnership for years to come.”
