Fiolek will compete on the CRF250R bike for a third WMA title this year, joining American Honda Racing teammates Trey Canard and Josh Grant.
“Ashley's commitment to racing and her strength have earned her not only the respect of Honda but the entire industry. Her achievements have really helped elevate women¼s racing to a wider audience,” American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik Kehoe said in a release.
“Being able to race Motocross professionally on the factory team at Honda has been a dream come true for me,” said Fiolek. “I can't thank American Honda enough for providing me this continuing opportunity and I look forward to working with Erik and the whole American Honda Racing team once again.”
Fiolek turned pro in 2008 after winning 13 national titles and over 100 races as an amateur, winning the AMA/WMAWomen's Motocross Championship in her first attempt, which gained her great deal of popularity.
She has joined the American Honda Racing Team in 2009, securing the WMA Championship for the second year in a row and also earned a gold medal in the X Games competition.
After finishing 2010 as runner-up in the WMA series and collecting X Games gold once again, Fiolek recently penned “Kicking Up Dirt,” a book documenting her efforts to overcome her deafness and become a champion in the demanding sport of Motocross.
