The South-Central Loretta Lynn’s Regional Qualifier is officially in the books after a rain-soaked weekend at Swan MX in Tyler, Texas. Riders from across the country converged on East Texas, all chasing the same goal: a top-six finish and a coveted spot at the Monster Energy Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Motocross Championship, August 3–8, 2026.
After completing just one moto on Saturday, deteriorating track conditions forced officials to cancel the remainder of the day’s racing. The event was subsequently shortened to a two-moto format rather than the traditional three-moto structure used at Loretta Lynn’s Regional Qualifiers.
Following the postponement Saturday, the Swan MX track crew went to work, spending Saturday afternoon rebuilding the track. By the time racing resumed Sunday morning, competitors were greeted with a completely transformed racetrack.
For the most part, Sunday was hot and humid, but it wasn’t all sunshine. Scattered downpours moved through the area throughout the day, providing brief relief from the heat. Despite the occasional rain shower, the racing continued without interruption.
With the racing complete and the Loretta Lynn’s qualifiers decided, let’s take a look back at the weekend through some of our favorite images from Swan MX.
