The statue, capturing Sexton mid-air in one of his iconic whip maneuvers, is a striking piece of art that embodies both the thrill of motocross and the unwavering passion of an athlete who has given everything to his craft. Set on a polished granite base engraved with his name, the tribute sits proudly in a landscaped garden near where Sexton grew up, allowing his community to permanently share in his success story.
For Sexton, the honor was deeply personal. “This is more than a statue,” he said, addressing the crowd. “It’s a reminder of the sacrifices, the long nights, the crashes, and the victories that brought me here. But it’s also about everyone who supported me — from my family to the fans who believed in me when times were tough.” His voice carried emotion as he reflected on a journey that began with a childhood dream and grew into a career that made him one of motocross’s brightest stars.

Sexton’s career has been defined by his fearless style, precision riding, and his ability to thrive under pressure. From his rise through amateur competitions to his Supercross and Pro Motocross triumphs, he has established himself as a rider capable of challenging the sport’s elite. But beyond the wins and podium finishes, it is Sexton’s perseverance through injuries and setbacks that has earned him universal respect.
The statue unveiling also included video tributes from fellow riders and industry icons. Many praised Sexton’s influence on the modern motocross era, crediting him with elevating the sport’s visibility and inspiring countless young riders around the world. “Chase has always been more than just a competitor,” one rider noted in the tribute video. “He’s someone we look up to for the way he carries himself on and off the track.”
Fans in attendance echoed those sentiments. Some spoke about how Sexton’s grit motivated them during their own challenges, while aspiring motocross racers called him their role model. Parents brought children to the ceremony, explaining how Sexton’s career served as proof that even small-town dreams can reach global stages.
