Ella Dreher Returns to MotoAmerica

Sixteen-year-old Ella Dreher will resume racing in the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship next weekend at the Circuit of The Americas in Texas. The return comes after a miraculous recovery from serious injuries suffered in a crash at Barber Motorsports Park this past May, according to an announcement from team owners Melissa Paris and David Pierce.

Ella Dreher, part of the sibling duo known as the Dynamic Dreher Duo, will be back aboard her #10 MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing MV Agusta F3 RR. She expressed enthusiasm for her comeback. "COTA, here I come!" Dreher said, crediting her physical therapist, Brian Heiser at 321 Performance PT, for pushing her through the rehab process.

Team Dynamics and Future Plans

Ella Dreher will join Joseph LiMandri Jr. on the two-rider team. LiMandri Jr. has been serving as a fill-in rider for Ella's brother and teammate, Avery Dreher, who was injured at Ridge Motorsports Park in June. Avery remains sidelined but, as previously announced, both he and Ella have re-signed to race for the team in next year's Supersport championship.

LiMandri Jr. welcomed Ella's return, stating, "I'm really happy that Ella will be returning to the team at COTA." He noted he will continue to race the #641 MV Agusta on Avery's behalf for the final two rounds of the 2026 season.

Road to Recovery

Team owner Melissa Paris called the season a "wild ride" but praised Dreher's determination. Paris stated that seeing the work Ella put in to return to form had been inspiring. The team has appreciated the efforts of substitute riders Cam Dunker and Joseph LiMandri Jr. during the Drehers' absences.

The on-track action for the Supersport class at COTA begins next Friday, September 11. The detailed schedule is as follows:

Ella Dreher's return marks a positive turn for the MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing squad after a challenging season of injuries. The team is set to compete in the final two rounds at COTA and New Jersey Motorsports Park.
