Yucaipa sits in the Inland Empire at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains — a region that has produced a remarkable concentration of professional motocross talent. Devin Simonson grew up in this environment, with access to Southern California training facilities and the constant pressure of competing alongside future professionals from his earliest amateur years.
Simonson's 2026 250SX East season delivered 122 points and a 6th-place result. Competing for Star Racing — the sport's most successful 250 program — Simonson benefits from engineering, coaching, and institutional knowledge of what it takes to win. His results are building steadily toward the front.
"Sixth in the championship this year. Next year I want to be in the conversation for the title."
