Two changes to note under Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing tent for this weekend: Rookie Caden Dudney will sit out the remainder of SupercrossLIVE to focus on his first full season of ProMotocross. Landen Gordon will now make his professional racing debut on Saturday.

The team says this was the plan for Dudney from the get-go: get some pro SX experience for 2027. Dudney raced two rounds of SMX Next - SX before jumping up to the pro 250SX ranks and has shown speed in qualifying and heat races but finished 13-11-17-18-16 in his six 250SX main event starts this season. The #82 has some incredible raw speed when it comes to Pro Motocross, as we saw last year in his two starts.
As for Landen Gordon, he has finished 3-3-2-22 in his four SMX Next main event starts this season, a first-turn crash leading to that tough result the last time out. He will continue to run the #180 he was running in SMX Next.

Wil Hahn, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team General Manager, said the following in the team PR:

“From the start, the plan for Caden was to go in open-minded and gain valuable experience for the ‘27 Supercross season. Now that he’s done that, we’re shifting full focus to his rookie outdoor campaign. He showed so much promise last year, and it’s time to set the focus on that. In the meantime, we will move Landen up to give him some valuable Supercross experience starting this weekend in Nashville.”

Gordon said in the PR:
“The team and I worked extremely hard together, and we’ve decided it’s time to rock ‘n’ roll in the Music City. I’ve dreamt about this moment my whole life. I’m ready to have some fun and mix it up with the East Coast boys!”

Said Dudney: “I gained valuable experience for my future in supercross, but now my focus is on the motocross opener. We’re looking forward to getting the outdoor season started!”
