Jason Anderson Joins HEP Motorsports Suzuki For 2026
The first big news of the silly season dropped today, involving a former champion. 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross class champion Jason Anderson is on the move, returning to the brand he began his professional career with. It was announced Monday afternoon that Anderson has signed with the Hep Motorsports Suzuki team for the 2026 Supermotocross World Championship season. Anderson will return to the yellow brand, where he spent 2011 to 2013 with the Rockstar Energy Suzuki (now Husqvarna) team.
In today’s press release, Suzuki USA Motorsports Director Chris Wheeler said, "Bringing Jason Anderson back to Suzuki is another big moment for us. Jason has always had that rebellious spark—flashy, gritty and fearlessness on the bike. It’s a full-circle story that honors Suzuki’s history, but it also feels like the start of something new."

Before signing with the HEP organization, Anderson spent the last four years with Monster Energy Kawasaki. Anderson’s first season with Kawasaki in 2022 was a fantastic year, starting with a runner-up finish in the AMA Supercross standings. He won seven main events, including four in a row to end the year. Anderson also won his first two AMA Pro Motocross overalls that summer at Hangtown and Budds Creek. 2025 was a difficult year for Anderson, who withdrew from every championship early. Anderson’s tenure at Kawasaki ended with nine wins and 29 podiums.
Anderson turned pro aboard a Suzuki in 2011, qualifying for his first career main event in Houston in February. The New Mexico native has made some major milestones with the brand, recording his first professional podium with a second-place finish in Salt Lake City in 2012 and scoring his first main event win at the same stadium a year later. He will add to his 59 previous starts with the brand starting in Anaheim in January. Anderson’s first ride with the HEP organization will be at the World Supercross Championship opener in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 8.
The news comes in a banner week for Suzuki and motorsport group Pipes, after the brand announced it had re-signed Ken Roczen on Thursday. With a wealth of experience and knowledge, the Roczen/Anderson combination could be one to watch in the upcoming season.
