With news breaking over the weekend that Chase Sexton and Kawasaki parted ways, I felt it would be a good time to look at his career stats split by OEM! What bike do you think Sexton was at his best on and where do you see him in 2027?

Chase Sexton Fun Stats

Sexton is the only rider to have an active streak of 2+ Premier class main event wins per season. He has done so in four straight seasons and on three different OEMs.

Sexton is one of eight riders in Premier class history to win multiple Premier class main events on three different OEMs. Most recently winning two in 2026 aboard a Kawasaki.

Sexton is one of eighteen riders in history to win a 450 SX title and a 450 MX title.

If Sexton appears on a new OEM in 2027, he would have the chance to become the third rider in history to win a Premier class main event on four different brands. Eli Tomac joined Chad Reed in that exclusive group earlier in 2026.
