Mechanicsville, Maryland is not a name that typically appears in professional supercross rider biographies, but Marshal Weltin is changing that. The Maryland native grew up racing the outdoor tracks of the mid-Atlantic — a circuit that doesn't have California's infrastructure but produces riders with determination that holds its own nationally.
Weltin's 2026 season with Pro Circuit Kawasaki has produced 53 points and 12th in the East championship. The result reflects consistent performance from a rider still developing within the demands of professional supercross while carrying the full expectations of one of the sport's most accomplished programs.
"I'm a Maryland kid on a factory Kawasaki. I don't take that for granted for one second."

The Mid-Atlantic region has a strong outdoor motocross tradition. Maryland and Virginia tracks have been producing competitive riders for decades. Weltin's development in this environment gave him the outdoor foundation that translates directly into supercross technique, particularly in the technical sections that dominate modern tracks.
Pro Circuit Kawasaki
Pro Circuit Kawasaki fields factory-spec machines in both the 250 and 450 classes of AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross. The Husqvarna brand traces its racing roots to the Swedish forests of the 1960s, and the current program represents the modern expression of that racing heritage — with full KTM Group engineering backing and Rockstar Energy as the title sponsor.
