In a significant move for the 2026 season, rising star Kyleigh Stallings is switching brands, joining the Storm Lake Honda/Buddy Brooks Racing team for the Women's Motocross Championship (WMX). This marks a pivotal career shift for Stallings, who will transition from Kawasaki's Team Green program to compete on a Honda for the very first time.

The change has generated considerable excitement, with Stallings taking to social media to share her enthusiasm. "Changing things up," she posted. "Super excited for this next chapter. Thank you [Storm Lake Honda/Buddy Brooks Racing] for the opportunity and [Honda Racing US] for stepping up and putting real support behind the WMX series!"

Stallings brings a proven track record to her new Honda ride. She famously secured two WMX race wins in 2024 at the challenging tracks of High Point and Ironman Raceway, and added another podium with a third-place finish at Ironman last season. Her amateur credentials are equally impressive, boasting four prestigious championships at the Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur National.

This manufacturer switch is a major storyline for the WMX, highlighting the growing investment in women's motocross and setting the stage for an electrifying 2026 championship battle.
