Kameron Buckman, Tristan Prueitt, and Easton Graves take home titles from Loretta Lynn MX
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna-backed Gibson finished second in the Open Pro Sport Class after claiming two moto victories, while also securing P2 in the competitive 250 Pro Sport Class with 3-3-1 moto finishes aboard his Husqvarna FC 250.
Gibson now joins an elite group of riders to have received the prestigious Nicky Hayden AMA Motocross Horizon Award, which recognizes the leading up-and-coming talent in American amateur motocross.
Team Husqvarna’s Tristan Prueitt was also an award winner, named AMA Amateur Racer of the Year after capturing the Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C Class title with a convincing 1-1-1 scorecard on his Husqvarna FC 250. In addition, Prueitt earned P2 overall in the 250 B Class, completing a successful week in Tennessee.
Six for six moto wins – the only rider to achieve the feat all week – earned youthful Team Husqvarna prospect Kameron Buckman both the 65cc (7-9) and 65cc (7-9) Limited Class titles, as well as the AMA Youth Racer of the Year award. Buckman proved unstoppable at the Ranch aboard his Husqvarna TC 65.
Easton Graves also achieved title success with Team Husqvarna after taking a perfect 1-1-1 scorecard in the Supermini 2 (13-16) division, backing up his championship with second overall in Supermini 1 (12-15) and further establishing himself as one of the sport's most promising young racers.
In addition, Team Husqvarna-supported Max Shane finished fourth overall in the 250 Pro Sport Class with a 5-5-4 scorecard, while also recording fifth in the Open Pro Sport Class across two highly-competitive categories.
Brennon Harrison raced to sixth overall in the Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C Class with Team Husqvarna, while it was a more challenging week for teammate Gavyn Welzien, who completed only the opening motos in the 85cc (10-12) and 85cc (10-12) Limited Classes.
Adding to Husqvarna's title success throughout race week was Landon Schweiger, who won the 450 C Class, while Hannah Jamison swept the Girls (11-16) division in commanding fashion, bringing Husqvarna's championship tally to six in 2026.
Husqvarna brand ambassador Phil Nicoletti made a welcome return to the 2026 edition of Loretta Lynn's, racing his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition to second overall in the Junior (25+) category after posting consistent 2-2-2 finishes throughout race week.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our Team Husqvarna riders at Loretta’s this year,” said Darian Sanayei, Amateur Team Manager. “Kam Buckman earned Youth Rider of the Year, Tristan Prueitt earned Amateur Rider of the Year, and Landon Gibson earned the Horizon Award. Every one of our riders was fighting for the top step all week. Kam Buckman was the only racer out of nearly 1,000 athletes to go six for six in moto wins. What an incredible week for this team – I’m proud of every rider and everyone behind the scenes who put in the work to make it happen.”
