Quad Lock Honda will expand to a four-rider 450SX roster in Nashville when Dean Wilson makes his first start of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross season in Nashville, joining Joey Savatgy, Shane McElrath and Christian Craig.

Wilson – current title-holder in Australia, Brazil and the UK – is on an international supercross program once again this year, in addition to contesting the final five rounds in America.

“I love racing Supercross,” said Wilson. “My schedule is a bit unique, but it gives me the opportunity to compete all over the world. This year I’ve raced in the UK and Costa Rica, and I’ll head back to Brazil later in the year.

“Racing in front of American fans is something I’ll never take for granted. My team has been great, very supportive and accommodating. I’m really looking forward to lining up with them again for the final five rounds.”

Last year saw Wilson fill in at Honda HRC Progressive during his late-season stint in Supercross, before reuniting with Quad Lock Honda for a fifth-consecutive term. He finished inside the top 10 four times last year, with a high of P7 at the Salt Lake City final.
