At the 15th round of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross in Philadelphia, rumors circulated that Red Bull KTM’s Chase Sexton might have a different mechanic for his Factory 450 SX-F. Confirming these rumors, Kyle Defoe was seen working on the #1 machine this weekend, while Sexton’s usual mechanic, Brandon Zimmerman, was absent. Sexton posted on his social media to clear the air regarding the situation.
Chase Sexton posted- I have nothing but love for @zimm763 and he will always be a super important person to me. I want to thank him for everything, I had the best time working with him. I wanted to come out and clear the air that us not working together had nothing to do with the throttle in Nashville, that was a freak incident and no one’s fault. This was a decision made independently by the team and Brandon. Zimm is an awesome mechanic. I wish him the best on his next endeavors, and I hope to see him at the gate soon
