Landen Gordon to Make Pro Debut at Nashville Supercross
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Landen Gordon set for pro supercross debut, with Caden Dudney shifting full focus to his outdoor title campaign / Apr 13, 2026 /
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Landen Gordon will join his teammates in the 250SX East Championship, making his pro debut this weekend at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The 19-year-old Californian looks to gain valuable seat time in the highly competitive Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, much like his teammate Caden Dudney did earlier this season.
“The team and I worked extremely hard together, and we’ve decided it’s time to rock ‘n’ roll in the Music City,” said Landen Gordon. “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!”
With that experience gained in Supercross at the first six rounds, Dudney now shifts his focus to preparing for his first full season outdoors. Last year, the young Texan raced the final two rounds of the Pro Motocross season, earning an impressive 11th-place overall finish in his pro debut at Unadilla MX.
“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’s 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.”
“I gained valuable experience for my future in Supercross, but now my focus is on the motocross opener,” said Dudney. “We’re looking forward to getting the outdoor season started!”
