Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is pleased to announce a multi-year deal with Caden Dudney. The young rider from Des Moines, Iowa, will make his debut with the team aboard the YZ250F at this year’s Thor Mini O’s and looks to battle for top honors next season in Supercross Futures, the Scouting Moto Combine, the Amateur National Championships and at Loretta Lynn’s.
One of the sport’s top-up-and-coming riders, Dudney had a standout performance at this year’s Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, winning five of his six motos to earn the number one plate in the 250 B and Schoolboy 2 Championships. In addition to the pair of titles, he also won the Oakley Award for setting the fastest lap time during the week of racing at Loretta Lynn’s and was named the Amateur Rider of the Year.
