So Dalton Shirey was just announced as returning to the Factory Rockstar Husky Off Road Team for 2023, which is much deserved by the way. He did a short stint with them a few years ago too.
Got me thinking, how many guys have left and then returned to the same Factory Team later in their career?
Brayton on Factory Honda
Short and Canard once their racing career ended went on to roles at Honda.
Jmart and star?
Chad Reed. Yamaha and Kawasaki.

Didn’t Dowd double dip on Factory Yamaha for 125s?
I believe Martin Davalos had two stints with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki.
Loracco Suzuki?
MC Honda twice
Bradshaw Yamaha twice
Alessi KTM twice
Millsaps rode Suzuki in the 125 class then 450's later.
Larry Ward Suzuki
Josh Hill rode for Factory Yamaha a couple different times.
Depends on what you consider factory, but Brayton at Gibbs. 2010-2011 and 2013-2014. Team Honda 2012.
Josh Grant JGR
That was factory Suzuki on 125s and Bobby Hewitts Rockstar Suzuki team on 450s. Two different teams.
Nobody mentions Dungey?
KTM- Retirement- HONDA-back to Retirement- back to KTM.
Forgot Stew was the only factory Suzuki rider that year.
Brayton JGR
Grant JGR
Windham factory Honda (1999-2000, Outdoors 2010 and 11)
Laninovich KTM
Chad Factory Yamaha
Alessi KTM
KRoc could be setting a record snd going for a third go.
Pit Row
Yes for twice on factory Yamaha.
Kawasaki was 3 times but all different teams. Degroot in GPs, factory Kawi in the US, and kawis on his TwoTwo team.
Hill started his pro career on factory Yamaha and later rode for the Kranyak/Brooks L&M Yamaha team as Stews teamate.
Yes. 90-92 and 96-97.
Didn't Justin Hill return to PC after a stint at TLD KTM?
Technically AP went back to Star in 2021 after Factory Yamaha in 2019 and 2020.
He rode for Factory Yamaha in 2018 as well.
So did Justin Hill I think
Marty Tripes double dipped with Yamaha and Honda. Jimmy Weinert did the same with Yamaha and Kawasaki.
Yep
After aj taught Marty to full time his feet on the pegs...
Brayton has done it several times..
Factory Honda
JGR
MCR
Could also say 3 times for Yamaha and Suzuki, if you count factory teams in Australia.
Larry ward had 2 stints on factory Suzuki.
