Note: On Sunday April 28th, 2019, Sebastian Palmese was officially granted an age exception release by American Motorcyclist Association to be allowed to compete on a 500cc bike at the age of 15 in all AMA events. Current and past AMA rules state at the age of 16 to compete on a 500, in 2020 this age requirement lowers to 15, all with the documented approval and recommendation of senior AMA speedway referee Steve Lucero and Track Racing director for AMA. Thanks for your help Steve Lucero, and Ken Saillant of AMA. Kelly Inman, Promoter Industry Racing.
