HILLSDALE, MI. – Cobra Moto added four more AMA Amateur National Championships to its racing legacy during the 45th Annual Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, with Robert Fender, Ryder Anniston, Kruz Galvan and Brantley Faber each earning national titles aboard Cobra motorcycles.
Loretta Lynn’s represents the pinnacle of amateur motocross racing in the United States, bringing together the nation’s top young riders following months of qualifying competition. Cobra once again arrived at the Ranch with a commanding presence throughout the youth divisions and left Tennessee with four championships.
That presence was especially evident across the Micro and 65cc categories, where Cobra motorcycles accounted for 207 of the 293 qualified entries, representing 70.6 percent of the field across those classes. The numbers reflected the depth of Cobra’s involvement at the grassroots level and the strength of its position within youth motocross.
“Loretta Lynn’s is the race that every amateur rider and family works toward all year, so seeing four Cobra riders leave here as national champions is incredibly rewarding,” said Marc Canellas, Cobra Moto Elite Team Manager. “Robert, Ryder, Kruz and Brantley earned these championships against the best competition in the country, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. Just as important, seeing more than 70 percent of the qualified riders in the Micro and 65cc classes competing on Cobra motorcycles speaks volumes about the riders, families and dealers who believe in what we are building.”
The four championships capped a successful week for Cobra riders and families at one of the most demanding events in amateur motocross. From the youngest Micro competitors through the highly competitive 65cc divisions, Loretta Lynn’s serves as one of the sport’s most important proving grounds for young riders and their equipment.
Cobra’s performance at the 2026 event continued the company’s longstanding focus on developing motorcycles specifically for youth competition. The combination of four national championships and a 70.6 percent share of qualified entries across the Micro and 65cc categories demonstrated both championship-level performance and significant participation throughout the amateur racing community.
For Cobra Moto, the results represent more than the final standings from one week of racing. They continue a development path that has helped generations of young racers progress through the amateur ranks and into the next stages of their racing careers.
Cobra Moto congratulates Fender, Anniston, Galvan and Faber on their 2026 AMA Amateur National Championships, along with every Cobra rider and family who competed at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch.
