Kyleigh Stallings

Kyleigh Stallings is a back-to-back Women’s Motocross Champion who dominated the amateur circuit before making the leap to professional racing, known for her aggressive riding style and consistent podium finishes on her Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green KX250.

EARLY YEARS

Born June 21, 2006, in Yukon, Oklahoma, Stallings grew up immersed in the dirt bike world with unwavering support from her parents, Keith and Cori Stallings. Her father doubled as her mechanic throughout her amateur career, wrenching late into the night so she could chase her racing dreams. Being homeschooled gave her a significant advantage—she could ride Monday through Thursday without the juggling act that comes with traditional school schedules, a flexibility she credits as essential to her development as a racer.

OTHER INTERESTS

While racing dominates her schedule, Stallings has maintained a tight focus on training and competition rather than pursuing hobbies outside motocross. Her commitment to the sport has been all-consuming, particularly given her intense training regimen with former factory AMA pro Robbie Reynard.

EARLY SUCCESS

Stallings established herself as a force on the amateur circuit early, competing in Girls Jr, Girls Sr, and Mini Sr 1 classes out of Wellston, Oklahoma. By November 2020, she was already turning heads at Mini O’s, where she swept four championships in one weekend—proof that she could go fast on any track, in any state[1]. Her dominance continued as she racked up wins and became a seven-year veteran of the legendary dirt battles at Hurricane Mills, home of the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. In 2023, she claimed the Women’s Motocross Championship title at Loretta’s and dominated from the start, a performance she repeated in 2024 with back-to-back WMX titles[2][3]. She also secured Girls (11-16) National Championships in both 2021 and 2022, adding two more titles to her growing collection[4]. Stallings made her first professional start at the Freestone Spring Championship on March 5, 2024, marking her official transition from amateur phenom to pro contender[5].

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

• 2020: Won four championships at Mini O’s[6].
• 2021: Girls (11-16) National Champion at Loretta Lynn’s[7].
• 2022: Girls (11-16) National Champion at Loretta Lynn’s[8].

• Career: 2 Women’s Motocross Championship WMX wins and 8 career WMX podiums as of 2025[13].

INSPIRATIONS

Trey Canard holds a special place in her list of favorite past pro racers—she met him when she first started at FCA (Faith Christian Academy)[14]. Austin Forkner is another rider she admires for his aggressive style and tenacity. Beyond individual racers, Stallings credits her trainer Robbie Reynard as a huge part of her success, having worked with him for six years at the Reynard Training Complex, where she honed the skills and race craft that have defined her career[15].

REPUTATION

Stallings has earned a reputation as an aggressive, no-nonsense competitor who isn’t afraid to mix it up on the track. Fellow racers have noted her willingness to race hard—even Lachlan Turner remarked that Stallings was unusually aggressive during their battles, showing she won’t back down from anyone[16]. Her consistency is equally impressive: she’s known for grabbing holeshots and maintaining podium pace throughout entire motos, a skill that’s netted her multiple championships. As a member of the Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green roster, she rides the #21 KX250 and represents one of the sport’s premier development programs[17]. Her back-to-back Loretta Lynn’s titles and dominant performances at Pro Motocross rounds have solidified her as one of the top young talents in women’s motocross.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

For 2025, Stallings returned to the WMX Championship as part of the AMA Pro Motocross circuit for a six-round series with motos scheduled on Fridays at Fox Raceway, Hangtown Motocross Classic, Thunder Valley, Ironman, Unadilla, and Budds Creek[18][19]. She’s eager to get back to the Pro Motocross tracks where she previously swept motos at High Point and Ironman, hoping to replicate that success and build on her growing professional résumé[20]. With consistent training, factory backing, and a string of titles already under her belt, she’s positioned to become a mainstay on the podium and a serious contender for the overall WMX Championship.
