Levi Kitchen

Levi Kitchen is the rare professional athlete who races his home track at the national level every summer. The Washougal National — held annually at the MX track in Clark County, Washington — puts Kitchen in front of a hometown crowd that has watched him develop from a local kid to a factory Kawasaki rider capable of winning championships. The energy is different when you know the track's every berm and every line from years of personal history.

His 2024 250SX West championship near-miss — finishing second in a season that came down to the final rounds — was the moment that made the whole paddock take notice. Not because he lost, but because of how he raced to nearly win: consistent, smart, relentlessly competitive. Three Pro Motocross wins across his career validate that the speed translates to both formats.

The Pro Circuit System

Third year with Pro Circuit means Kitchen enters 2026 with deep familiarity — with the KX250, with the engineering team, and with the program's expectations. That familiarity is an asset that compounds over seasons. His third year in any program is usually a rider's breakthrough year, when all the accumulated learning converts into results. The 2026 250SX West season is Kitchen's best opportunity yet.

Washougal to the Championship

Through twelve rounds of the 2026 250SX West season, Kitchen sits second in the standings with 133 points — just behind championship leader Haiden Deegan. With Deegan having clinched the title, Kitchen races the final rounds for pride, for podiums, and for the team. His home track at Washougal calls every summer, and he'll be there in the fight.
