Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Landen Gordon is set to make his professional Supercross debut this weekend at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Gordon, who raced the SMX Next rounds earlier in the year, is taking Caden Dudney’s spot on the team as Dudney will now focus on being prepared for the opening round of Pro Motocross.
“The team and I worked extremely hard together, and we’ve decided it’s time to rock ‘n’ roll in the Music City,” Gordon said. “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!”
“From the start, the plan for Caden was to go in open-minded and gain valuable experience for the ‘27 Supercross season,” said Wil Hahn, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team General Manager. “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.”
Dudney currently sits 11th in the 250SX East championship with a season best finish of 11th at the Daytona Supercross. “I gained valuable experience for my future in Supercross, but now my focus is on the motocross opener,” Dudney added. “We’re looking forward to getting the outdoor season started!”
