““The AMA banquet is way different than our banquet,” Byrd said. ““More money there. It would be an honor to just go there and have a lot of fun; who doesn’t mind going to Vegas?”

 

As the first-ever AMA Pro ATV champion, Byrd acknowledged the AMA for helping to advance the sport of ATV motocross. ““The AMA has made things a lot more consistent,” Byrd said. ““There’s a lot more professionalism here at the racetrack. We’ve been wanting it for a long time to be actually Pros and AMA guys. It’s here and it’s only going to get better and better every year.”
