HEP Motorsports has called in former full-time team rider Justin Bogle as its 450SX replacement at Twisted Tea Suzuki, set to make his first Monster Energy Supercross start in almost four years.

Bogle previously rode for the Dustin Pipes-led organization in 2022, where he scored a best result of eighth in both Detroit and Seattle in his way to 13th in the standings.

With Jason Anderson electing to pause his career ‘for an indefinite period’, HEP will instead field 32-year-old Bogle alongside Colt Nichols on the Twisted Tea by Progressive Insurance Suzuki team, along with Ken Roczen in Progressive Insurance Cycle Gear Suzuki colors.

“I am so excited and super-grateful to be racing for the team starting this weekend in Birmingham,” Bogle said. “It’s truly a dream scenario to be back with the team I last raced the full series with and to be teammates with my best friend! Can’t wait to shake some rust off and see what we can do!”

Since his last full-time season in the US during 2022, Bogle has been active in the World Supercross Championship, as well as the British and American Arenacross series in recent years.
