As the 2025 calendar year comes to a close, Phoenix Racing Honda is proud to confirm its lineup and racing plans for the 2026 SuperMotocross Championship. The team enters the new season with a balanced mix of experience and potential, fielding a three-rider roster made up entirely of athletes who already have familiarity with the Phoenix Racing program.
After spending the past few seasons competing across both 250 regions and the 450 class in AMA Monster Energy Supercross, Phoenix Racing will return to its roots in 2026 with a more focused approach. Cullin Park, Gavin Towers, and Evan Ferry will all contest the 250 East Region Supercross Championship, before transitioning into the AMA Pro Motocross Championship and ultimately the SuperMotocross Playoffs—goals the team and riders have aligned toward together.
David Eller, Team Owner, Phoenix Racing Honda:
“While the past two years delivered some of the biggest highlights our Supercross and Pro Motocross program has seen, I’m even more excited about what we’ve put together for 2026. We’ve learned a lot over the last few seasons, and we’re applying those lessons to give these three riders our absolute best—while also trimming distractions and sharpening our focus.”
“As for the riders themselves, we’ve been with Cullin since before his professional career even began, and he’s been a great example of what this team can do with young talent. The commitment we’ve made together culminated in his first professional podium last season, and we truly believe he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. There’s more to come.”
“With Cullin setting the example, we want to replicate that same growth with Gavin and Evan—two riders who believe in our program as much as we believe in them. I honestly feel that 2026 will be the year for riders who may have been overlooked or doubted, and I’m proud to support them under the Phoenix Racing banner.”
As Cullin Park enters his fifth professional season, he does so following a breakthrough year that included his first career Supercross podium—a second-overall finish at the East Rutherford round. That result added to an already solid résumé, which includes multiple top-five finishes and 15 top-ten results across 25 starts. Since earning Supercross Rookie of the Year honors at the beginning of his pro career, Park has shown steady progression each season. With his trajectory trending upward, Park aims to be a consistent top-five contender in 2026 and chase additional podium finishes.

“Each year since turning pro with Phoenix Racing, I’ve chipped away at the results. Year one was about making mains consistently, year two was finding top-ten speed, year three had a few bumps in the road, and year four was finally showing a glimpse of my true potential with a top five and my first podium. Some people might call that a breakout year, but I know there’s more coming. The bike is better, I’m better, and I’ll be ready when the gate drops in Arlington.”
Following his rookie season in the United States, Gavin Towers returns with Phoenix Racing Honda for 2026. Armed with a year of experience and flashes of top-ten speed in Supercross, Towers looks to build upon that foundation and consistently place his Honda CRF250R inside the top half of the field throughout the 250 East Region campaign.
Gavin Towers | #73 Phoenix Racing Honda:
“The past few years, I’ve definitely taken a less traditional path transitioning from amateurs to the pros. At times it’s been rewarding, and at times frustrating, but through it all, it’s reminded me that racing dirt bikes is my priority. My motivation heading into 2026 is at an all-time high, and I’m excited to show the team and the fans how that translates on the track.”
Evan Ferry enters 2026 with renewed motivation following an injury-shortened 2025 season. Despite setbacks, Ferry showed flashes of his potential, most notably during his heat race performance at Anaheim 1, before being sidelined.
Evan Ferry | #715 Phoenix Racing Honda:
“From the outside, 2025 might look rough, and at times it was. But being able to show what I expect out of myself in my A1 heat race was huge for my confidence. The injury afterward wasn’t planned, but on the bright side, I discovered a solution to a health problem, so the injury was definitely a blessing in disguise. After years of multiple doctor visits and no solutions, I finally found answers that had been eluding me. 2026 is a chance to start fresh and reset my pro career. I’m grateful for the support David Eller and Phoenix Racing have shown me, and now I’m ready to give that back tenfold.”
Behind the scenes, Phoenix Racing has dedicated extensive effort and experience to refining its 2026 Honda CRF250R platform, resulting in what the team believes is the strongest bike to ever roll out of its Salisbury, North Carolina, race shop. Placing all three riders in the same Supercross region is a strategic decision, allowing the team to concentrate resources and maximize performance across the program.
With preparation at an all-time high, Phoenix Racing Honda enters the 2026 season more composed and focused than ever. Look for the Phoenix Racing CRF250Rs to make an immediate impact when the 250 East Region kicks off in Arlington, Texas, on February 21st.
