Roadracing World has partnered with AMA Pro Racing to present the Roadracing World Young Gun of Year Award to the top Daytona SportBike or SuperSport rider who was under the age of 19 at the start of the 2013 AMA Pro season. In the spirit of this award, Roadracing World is featuring one Young Gun per week. These riders were also featured in the March 2013 Issue of Roadracing World.

The new Young Gun Of The Year Award is based on Roadracing World’s 17 consecutive years of recognizing the best young road racers in North America. The 2013 version of the annual feature recognized 30 riders–17 of them AMA Pros–and was published in the March, 2013 print edition of Roadracing World magazine.

To be eligible for the award, riders must have been no older than 18 at the start of the 2013 GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing season. The award will go to the eligible rider with the most overall points in either the Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport or GoPro Daytona SportBike classes and a check will be presented during the 2013 GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Awards Banquet.
