Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing continues to load up in the amateur ranks. After signing Caden Dudley, who went off in his debut at Mini O's, the team announced today that they have signed highly-rated amateur prospect Carson Wood to a multi-year deal.
Wood finished off his mini bike career with Team Green Kawasaki at Mini O's, taking home four titles in the Supermini classes (2 in Supercross, 2 in Motocross).
In addition to being crowned SMX Supermini World All-Star Champion in 2023, the 15-year-old already has multiple AMA National titles to his resume, including a number one plate from the 2021 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn's Ranch.
Wood will move up to the 250 B class in 2025 and will make his racing debut with the team next year at the Freestone Spring Championship in Wortham, Texas, on March 5-9.
