In a crazy world, Chase Sexton’s
ascension was nearly missed.
But not by his peers

It should be one of the stories of the year: GEICO Honda’s Chase Sexton took his second straight 250SX East Region Championship and now makes an early jump to the 450 Class for Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, fresh into his new gig with the legendary Team Honda. Hey, Honda might not win everything anymore, but when that squad makes moves, people still listen. Sexton, packing titles and talent, should be grabbing all the attention as the next candidate to do great things in the premier class.

But what’s next is on hold. This is not a normal year.
