250MX rookie Caden Braswell has had his opportunity with Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas extended for an additional four rounds of the 2023 Pro Motocross Championship, which will see him remain in red through the Washougal weekend.

The 19-year-old Braswell has progressively improved onboard the MC 250F Factory Edition outdoors, initially only locked in for the opening four rounds of the series.

Braswell opened his account outdoors with 19th overall at both Fox Raceway and Hangtown to begin the series, before making significant steps forward at Thunder Valley on his way to 12-12 moto scores and 12th overall.

Last weekend at High Point, which was initially slated to be his final appearance with the team, saw him improve further with 9-13 results and an encouraging 11th overall. He currently sits 14th position in the championship standings.

“I am very excited to continue with the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing Team,” Braswell commented. “I’m looking forward to the next rounds and to continue improving my results.”

It’s expected that Braswell will be joined by TLD 250 class regular Pierce Brown in the coming weeks. There is the potential that Brown returns in time for RedBud’s fifth round of the season on 1 July, but his status continues to remain day-to-day at this point.
