Ryan Dungey is now part-owner of the GEICO Honda team, it has been announced.
The 29-year-old American who has amassed multiple Supercross and Motocross titles will use his experience, knowledge and champion mindset to help develop Honda’s elite 250 and youth riders.
āAfter I stopped racing, there were a couple years of waiting for the right thing that made the most sense for me and my family,ā said Dungey. āThis came along, and itās a huge opportunity that checks all the right boxes.
āFactory Connection Racing is a premier team that has had a lot of success and has a great line-up of talented riders. Iāll be able to apply my experience and knowledge to the next generation and future generations of riders and, because Iām a part-owner, itās something long-term that I can help to build and grow for the future. Between all that and being involved with the Honda organisation, there are a lot of positives, and Iām excited to get to work.ā
Factory Connection Racing owner Richard āZiggyā Zielfelder is thrilled to bring Dungey aboard. āWeāre so pleased to have a champion of Ryanās stature join our organisation,ā he said.
āHis racing record speaks for itself, but he has also always been known as a professional off the track as well. Weāre very confident that his involvement with the team will help us to continue growing and improving, and we look forward to a successful future together.ā
