ast fall, American Honda announced the signing of 16-year old Chance Hymas to ride for Team Honda’s in-house amateur program. Hymas enjoyed a respectable 2021 amateur season, taking titles at Spring A Ding Ding (Open Pro Sport) and the James Stewart Spring Championship (250 Pro Sport), and finishing second overall at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship (Open Pro Sport and 250 Pro Sport) and the Scouting Moto Combine West. He also added Pro 250 wins in WORCS and NGPC rounds to his resume. “I’m very excited to be joining Team Honda, and to be a part of such a legit program,” said Hymas, whose riding buddies include SLR Honda owner Mark Samuels and Team Honda HRC riders Hunter and Jett Lawrence. “It’s an honor to be an in-house amateur rider with American Honda, and it’s going to be an absolute blast! I’m looking forward to the future, and I’m going to make the best of this opportunity!” For 2022, Hymas is taking part in the Supercross Futures series and Amateur National motocross events, as well as the latter part of the AMA Pro Motocross series. Through his family’s Pocatello PowerSports dealership, Hymas will also continue to compete in select off-road races. Hymas is then scheduled to move to Team Honda HRC for the 2023 and ’24 seasons. “I’m thrilled to bring Chance to the Honda family,” added Brandon Wilson, Manager of Sports & Experiential at American Honda. “We already have a strong connection with his family through their dealership, and he’s just a great person to work with. The fact that he works on his own motorcycles also speaks volumes about his character. We look forward to a long, successful relationship together.”
