Wheaties decided that Dungey would be the perfect athlete to feature on this box that will be distributed nationwide. Dungey was quoted saying, “It’s definitely a very exciting moment, getting to be on the Wheaties box. I can’t tell you how many times my brother and I sat there joking about, you know, one day that’s going to be me on the box,” says Dungey. “To be the first Motocross racer on the box is definitely an amazing moment. I think it’s huge for all of us, so I’m very, very thankful.” Dungey gives many young athletes the ambition they need to chase their dreams as even professional athletes such as Ryan never imagined they could achieve the things he has.
