Dean Wilson will return to the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 450SX class for the final five rounds of the 2026 championship, joining Quad Lock Honda. The comeback begins at round 13 in Nashville, Tennessee, giving Quad Lock Honda an experienced rider for the closing stretch.

Wilson filled in for Honda HRC Progressive late in the 2025 Supercross series when Jett and Hunter Lawrence were sidelined. He made five 450SX starts in 2025 aboard the factory Honda CRF450R Works Edition, posting results of 17-9-10-10-7 and finishing seventh in the Salt Lake City finale; he has 74 career top-ten 450SX finishes and finished 17th in the 2025 Monster Energy SuperMotocross World Championship.

In fall 2025 Wilson won the AUSX SX1 title with Quad Lock Honda, and earlier in the year he won the UK Arenacross Tour to claim a second consecutive title. On social media he said he wasn’t sure where he stood in the 450 class but had “put in a good effort” and has been working on his preparation in recent weeks; he invited fans to visit the Quad Lock Honda rig and confirmed he will see fans and competitors in Nashville as he resumes competition for the closing rounds.
