Next Level Racing Announces 2027 West Coast 250 Supercross Campaign

Team Next Level Racing is proud to announce its full entry into the 2027 AMA Supercross West Coast 250 series. With a new roster, expanded sponsor support, and the continued backing of LIT Ministries, the team is ready to compete and to transform lives at the highest level of the sport.

After a successful 2026 season, Team Next Level Racing is returning to the West Coast 250 class with renewed energy and a deeper commitment to the mission. Kris and Rhonda Fagala have assembled a talented group of young riders who embody the values of faith, discipline, and community that define the team.

Why We Race

Racing is more than speed and trophies. For us, it is a platform. Every gate drop is an opportunity to show what it looks like to pursue excellence with purpose, to compete hard and love people harder.

I get asked a lot why a ministry would be involved in motorsport. The answer is simple: that is where the people are. The pits, the paddock, the stands — these are full of young men and women searching for identity, for belonging, for something worth giving their lives to.

Team Next Level Racing exists to meet them right there. Not after the race, not in a church building, but in the dirt and the noise and the adrenaline. We believe God shows up in those places too.

So we race. We race hard. And we point to something bigger than the podium.

Pressure and Peace

The week before a race is full of pressure. Prep, travel, nerves. Here is what I remind our riders: peace is not the absence of pressure. It is the presence of God in the middle of it.

The Mentorship Model

LIT Ministries is built on a simple idea: life change happens in relationship. Not in programs. Not in events. In the slow, consistent, faithful presence of someone who believes in you.
