Toughest decision I’ve ever had to make is now. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love racing and dirt bikes. I am stepping away from racing, this time on my own terms. Not because someone has told me no, or financial reasons, or injury this time I say so. I’ve enjoyed every step of the way the good and bad times. I’ve accomplished goals in the last few years I thought I never would. I’ve raced for some of the baddest teams around and gotten to travel the world. Racing has shaped me into the man I am today. Thanks to everyone who I ever crossed paths with in this journey I’ve had since I was 8 years old. My fans and my friends. Thank you for everything. Time to start a life away from racing and one day a family. See you all around ❤️

Dang... that sucks. I watched him come up through intermediate and local pro at CMC. He’s a good dude from a good family. Best of luck after moto Dillan

Another very fast amateur rider that should of easily been on a factory team right out of amateur racing. Kawasaki screwed him along with most of there other star team green talent.

It’s Pro Circuits choice who comes up, not Team Green’s...

Sounds like he made a well thought out decision to quit racing. But hopefully Dillan continues to ride dirt bike and hang out with his buddies having fun. We've all seen too many young fast guys quit and never get on a bike again. I'm in my 60's and I dread the day that I can't gear up and hit the track. Enjoy it while ya can. Life is good, let's moto.

Hey Dillan, any chance you could race the triple crown (nor cal)? Pmull is making it look easy.

I didn't say anything bad about him at all. He flat out hauls ass on a Dirt bike. And if pro circuit /Kawasaki would of backed him liked they did in the amateur ranks he would still be racing I bet. It's just to bad they dumped him after turning pro.

Team Green Kawasaki supported him as an amateur, making it to Pro Circuit isn't guaranteed just because you're on Team Green...PC/Mitch and his sponsors make the call on who gets brought up, not Team Green.

I heard that Mitch/Pro Circuit wanted Dillan to be on the team, but Justin's relationship with Monster Energy gave him the nod. It's unfortunate that Dillan got left out in the dust and it took him many years before he really got comfortable at the pro level and earned a spot on Rockstar Yamaha. It only lasted a season but Dillan proved he could beat some of the best riders in the sport (Alessi, Goerke, Pourcel, Facciotti, etc).
