Aaron Plessinger, an American professional motocross and supercross racer, is married to Kendall Plessinger. They have three children, Jake, Hadley, and Savannah.
Kendall has been a supportive presence in Aaron’s life, often seen cheering him on during his race.
Since his debut in 2015, Plessinger has proven himself a fierce competitor in both the 250cc and 450cc classes, earning championships and overcoming injuries.
He claimed his first AMA Motocross overall victory at the final round in Utah in 2015, signaling his potential as a future star.
The 2016 season saw Plessinger switch to the 250SX East division, finishing as runner-up to Malcolm Stewart, including his first supercross win in Indianapolis.
In 2017, he returned to the 250SX West class, finishing third with a victory in Seattle, while also securing his best motocross season yet with a fourth-place overall finish.
He dominated the 250SX West championship, winning four races and edging out Adam Cianciarulo for the title in 2018. His success earned him a spot on Team USA at the Motocross des Nations, held at RedBud.
He moved to the premier 450 class in 2019 and earned his first 450SX podium at Daytona in 2021.
Signing with Red Bull KTM in 2022, Plessinger showed flashes of brilliance and had his best 450 motocross season in 2023. His 2024 season started with a milestone: his first 450SX win in San Diego, briefly making him the championship leader.
His career has been a mix of triumphs and setbacks, but his relentless spirit and ability to bounce back ensure he remains one of the sport’s most exciting riders.
Aaron Plessinger’s Wife Kendall and Their Adoption Journey
On October 13, 2024, Aaron took to Instagram to celebrate his wife, Kendall, pouring his heart out in a touching tribute. He expressed deep gratitude for her unwavering support, acknowledging that he wouldn’t be where he is today without her.
Happy anniversary to my smokin’ hot wife. Thank you for everything you do for me and our family—I’m beyond lucky to have you.
Kendall has been his rock through every high and low of his career.
One unforgettable moment came at the chaotic 2024 San Diego Supercross, where conditions shifted dramatically from dry to a brutal mudfest.
As the track turned slick and technical conditions where Aaron thrives, he dominated, winning both his Heat race and the Main Event.
This victory was delightful, serving redemption after his heartbreaking crash while leading with just a lap and a half to go at Detroit the previous year (though Josh accidentally referenced Indy in his recap).
With this win, Aaron seized the 450SX points lead, with teammate Chase Sexton close behind in second.
The emotional climax came post-race when Kendall sprinted to Aaron, leaping into his arms as they shared an embrace soaked in triumph and mud. It was a snapshot of their partnership, a blend of passion, resilience, and shared joy.
Beyond the racetrack, Aaron and Kendall’s greatest pride is their three children: daughters Hadley and Savannah, and son Jake. Their family’s story carries a special depth.
Hadley, their adopted daughter, joined their lives at just one year old, beginning as a family friend before their bond deepened into something unbreakable.
Aaron seamlessly stepped into the role of a loving father, proving that family isn’t defined by biology but by love, trust, and commitment.
Whether cheering from the sidelines or building a warm home, Kendall and Aaron have created a legacy of devotion to each other and the family they’ve nurtured together.
