MORGANTOWN, WV – April 11, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – MX Sports Pro Racing, Inc., in conjunction with Unadilla Motocross, has announced the addition of a new event partner in ELF Fuels and Lubricants, which will become title sponsor of the 38th running the ELF Unadilla Nationalon August 10 from Central New York’s iconic Unadilla MX. The longest-running venue in American motocross will kick off the stretch run of the summer season as Round 9 of the 2024 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, and Round 26 of the SuperMotocross World Championship Series.
“We are very excited to see such a great company with a long and storied history in the sport of motorcycle racing take on a very prominent role for the 2024 Unadilla National,” stated Greg Robinson, Co-Owner and Operator, Unadilla Motocross. “With each of our companies holding a long and unique legacy within the industry, we are a great fit together.
