MX Sports Pro Racing announced that industry veteran Christina Denney will once again oversee the six-race Women’s Motocross Championship powered by Synchrony (WMX) as WMX Series Director.
This comes on the heels of the declaration just last month that the WMX will join the SMX League beginning with the 2026 season. Denney served an integral role in the WMX’s return alongside the Pro Motocross Championship last summer, which led to growth for the WMX that paved the way for January’s announcement at AIMExpo.
“Christina’s presence within the industry spans well over a decade. She has contributed significantly in a variety of roles to become one of the most highly regarded members in the motocross community,” said Carrie Coombs-Russell, CEO, MX Sports Pro Racing. “We’re fortunate to have someone who not only understands both the business and competitive side of the sport but also brings a personal investment in mentoring our athletes. Christina understands that this is a community that benefits greatly when we work together, and she has fostered an environment that has allowed the WMX to flourish.”
“Being part of the growth of WMX is deeply personal to me,” said Denney. “As series director, it’s about more than racing—it’s about creating space for women to be seen, supported, and believed in.
“Serving on the CFM for a second year as a representative of the AMA has been a defining part of my growth in the women’s sports space.” CN
