Aaron Plessinger has signed a one year contract extension with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing to remain with the team through the 2025 season. The 28-year-old Ohio-native will remain with the team through the entirety of Monster Energy Supercross, AMA Pro Motocross, and the SuperMotocross World Championship in 2025.

“I’m really excited to be staying with Red Bull KTM through 2025,” said Plessinger. “It is an awesome team and I think we’re going to do some big things together in the future – even bigger and better than what we’ve achieved so far. I couldn’t be more stoked to be staying within this family and building upon where we’re at, the level that we have been able to reach this season. For this year we made some major changes in the pre-season and really haven’t changed the bike at all since, which has really, really worked out in our favor. I’ve won my first Supercross Main Event, have gotten three podiums in total, and something’s clicked for us this year. This is the most enjoyment I’ve had in my entire 450 career and I’m just enjoying the ride, which is rare, and I’m very fortunate. I’m stoked to be back for 2025, so hope we keep progressing and I will be doing my best to perform to the level that we aim to once I am able to line up again outdoors. I’ll keep riding my heart out when I’m back from injury and am really blessed to be staying with the crew.”

Plessinger was having his best season on a 450 through the first 12 rounds of Monster Energy Supercross in 2024 before fracturing his elbow in practice for the Foxborough Supercross. Though he will miss the end of this year’s supercross racing, Plessinger plans to return for AMA Pro Motocross in just over a months time and will continue on to compete in the SuperMotocross World Championship as well. Now another potential free agent is off the market though as KTM is locked in with Plessinger and Chase Sexton through the 2025 season.
