Dean Wilson named as fill-in rider at Honda HRC beginning in Philadelphia
Dean Wilson will serve as a fill-in rider for Honda HRC beginning with Round 13 of the Monster Energy Supercross season at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 12. The move was necessitated by injuries to Jett Lawrence in Glendale, Arizona, in Round 4 and Hunter Lawrence the following week after he suffered a shoulder injury in Heat 1 in Tampa. Neither rider has competed in the last six rounds, and Honda HRC has fielded 250 teams only. Advertisement Wilson is scheduled to race in the final five rounds of the 2025 Supercross season. "I'm just really excited and grateful for this opportunity," said Dean Wilson in a news release. "It certainly wasn't on my 2025 bingo card! It came through unfortunate circumstances, with the Lawrence brothers getting injured. I was on the other side of the pond in the UK, and I shot Lars a text, saying I would be interested. I eventually got a call that it will happen for the last five. I've always wanted to ride this bike and be a part of this team, so I kind of feel like a little kid again, to be honest—just over the moon!" Wilson last competed in SuperMotocross in the 2024 Championship, finishing 20th in Concord, North Carolina, 11th in Fort Worth, Texas, and 16th in the Las Vegas, Nevada, finale. Jett and Hunter hope to return in time to begin the Pro Motocross portion of the SuperMotocross League.

Jordon Smith set to return in Seattle Supercross
This week, Jordon Smith returns to action in the Monster Energy Supercross 250 West division at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. Smith was injured in a crash in the Arlington, Texas, Triple Crown race when he crashed in the whoops, breaking four ribs, puncturing a lung, and suffering a laceration to his spleen. The calendar worked in his favor. Since the series left Arlington four rounds ago, the 250 East riders have hosted two standalone rounds. There has also been an off-week in the schedule, which means Smith missed only the East / West Showdown in Indianapolis, Indiana. Advertisement "We are back," Smith posted on social media. "Been working hard to get healed and back to race shape in the past 4 weeks. Thanks to all the doctors that had a part in helping me get back on the track, and my whole crew back at home with a special thanks to [Katie Smith] for taking care of Blair and [me]! See you guys in Seattle!" Smith began the season strong with back-to-back podiums in Anaheim 1 and San Diego. He finished fourth in Anaheim 2 and gave Triumph its first victory in his fourth race with the team. Finishing last in the Arlington Triple Crown and missing one round dropped Smith to fifth in the championship standings, 44 points behind leader Haiden Deegan.

Jalek Swoll extends Factory Triumph contract through 2026
Jalek Swoll secured an extension to his Factory Triumph contract, which will now see him with the team until the end of the 2026 SuperMotocross season. 'I'm super-excited to announce my contract extension with Triumph Factory Racing,' Swoll said in a news release. 'I'm also really proud of what we've achieved together since I joined the team and I'm excited to keep building on what we've delivered so far. 'I was in a really good place with my speed before my injury this off-season and I was ready to contend for wins, so when I'm back racing the goal remains the same. Being offered a contract extension while being injured isn't something I'm taking for granted and I can't wait to be back at the races with the team and showing everyone what we can do.' Swoll was scheduled to ride in the Monster Energy Supercross 250 West division until he injured his Achilles tendon in a practice crash. He moved to the Eastern roster, but with the severity of the injury, he will not return until the Pro Motocross seasons, according to the release. And that is good news for another reason. As the only Factory Triumph rider last year, he gave the iconic British brand its first Supercross top-five in an East / West Showdown in Nashville, Tennessee, and its first podium with a third-place finish in Unadilla, New York. Swoll immediately followed that with another Motocross top-five in Mechanicsville, Maryland, the following week. Factory Triumph increased to a four-rider roster in 2025. Swoll qualified for the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship before suffering an injury in the first playoff race in Concord, North Carolina.
