Phoenix Racing Honda
Phoenix Racing Honda has re-signed a familiar three-rider line-up of Cullin Park, Gavin Towers and Evan Ferry for the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship, with the team focusing on 250SX East in Supercross.
Following Dylan Ferrandis’ departure for the incoming factory Ducati team, Phoenix Racing will sharpen its attention as a 250-only operation.
“While the past two years delivered some of the biggest highlights our Supercross and Pro Motocross program has seen, I’m even more excited about what we’ve put together for 2026,” commented Phoenix Racing owner Dave Elder. “We’ve learned a lot over the last few seasons, and we’re applying those lessons to give these three riders our absolute best—while also trimming distractions and sharpening our focus.
“As for the riders themselves, we’ve been with Cullin since before his professional career even began, and he’s been a great example of what this team can do with young talent. The commitment we’ve made together culminated in his first professional podium last season, and we truly believe he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. There’s more to come.
“With Cullin setting the example, we want to replicate that same growth with Gavin and Evan – two riders who believe in our program as much as we believe in them. I honestly feel that 2026 will be the year for riders who may have been overlooked or doubted, and I’m proud to support them under the Phoenix Racing banner.”
Park is coming off a breakout past season in which he finished on the 250SX East podium at Foxborough on his way to fifth in the standings. In addition, Towers will be aiming to build upon his rookie campaign next year, and Ferry will reset after an injury-affected 2025.
Cullin Park: “Each year since turning pro with Phoenix Racing, I’ve chipped away at the results. Year one was about making mains consistently, year two was finding top-ten speed, year three had a few bumps in the road, and year four was finally showing a glimpse of my true potential with a top five and my first podium. Some people might call that a breakout year, but I know there’s more coming. The bike is better, I’m better, and I’ll be ready when the gate drops in Arlington.”
Following his rookie season in the United States, Gavin Towers returns with Phoenix Racing Honda for 2026. Armed with a year of experience and flashes of top-ten speed in Supercross, Towers looks to build upon that foundation and consistently place his Honda CRF250R inside the top half of the field throughout the 250 East Region campaign.
Gavin Towers: “The past few years, I’ve definitely taken a less traditional path transitioning from amateurs to the pros. At times it’s been rewarding, and at times frustrating, but through it all, it’s reminded me that racing dirt bikes is my priority. My motivation heading into 2026 is at an all-time high, and I’m excited to show the team and the fans how that translates on the track.”
Evan Ferry enters 2026 with renewed motivation following an injury-shortened 2025 season. Despite setbacks, Ferry showed flashes of his potential, most notably during his heat race performance at Anaheim 1, before being sidelined.
Evan Ferry: “From the outside, 2025 might look rough, and at times it was. But being able to show what I expect out of myself in my A1 heat race was huge for my confidence. The injury afterward wasn’t planned, but on the bright side, I discovered a solution to a health problem, so the injury was definitely a blessing in disguise. After years of multiple doctor visits and no solutions, I finally found answers that had been eluding me. 2026 is a chance to start fresh and reset my pro career. I’m grateful for the support David Eller and Phoenix Racing have shown me, and now I’m ready to give that back tenfold.”
