Phoenix Racing Honda announced Thursday the signing of Jalek Swoll to a multi-year agreement, starting with the 2027 SuperMotocross World Championship season. The 250-class veteran will join the team’s roster aboard the Honda CRF250R, competing in the East Region of the Monster Energy AMA 250 Supercross Championship, AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross. The move comes after several seasons with Triumph Factory Racing, where Swoll played a significant role in the manufacturer’s entry into American Supercross and Pro Motocross.
Swoll has raced at the professional level since his debut in 2019. A former AMA Nicky Hayden Amateur Horizon Award winner, he finished fifth in the 2021 250SX West Region Championship and captured his first career AMA Pro Motocross overall victory that same year. He has added multiple outdoor podium finishes since, including a podium at Unadilla during the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship, even as injuries interrupted portions of his recent campaigns.
“It’s always a good feeling to work with a group of people who genuinely want you there and see the value in what you bring to the table,” Swoll said. “I’m hungry to get back out there, put in the work, and get this Honda up front.” Phoenix Racing Honda team owner David Eller said the team wanted a rider who could grow with the program over multiple seasons. “After getting to know Jalek, we felt he checked all those boxes,” Eller said.
Swoll has already begun working with the team’s technical staff to familiarize himself with the Honda CRF250R. He will make his Phoenix Racing Honda debut when the 250SX East Region gets underway in 2027.
