Happy Birthday Billy, it seems like just yesterday you were AMA Rookie of the Year.
AMA ROOKIES OF THE YEAR
For the last 13 years the AMA has named only one Rookie of the Year, before that (1979-1985) a rider from each displacement class was named. Since the AMA stopped naming separate 125, 250 and 500 Rookie awards, the individual winner has come from the 125 class with just one exception-Jeff Stanton in 1987.
