"Open and constructive communication is vital to the success of any organization," said Ronnie Jones, Senior Director of Competition for AMA Pro Racing.

This advisory board is comprised of key stakeholders recognized by their peers as leaders in the sport, and we are looking forward to working together as we continue to build the sport of dirt track racing in North America and throughout the world."
