Silly season just hasn’t been that silly this year! A lot of deals are already done, but Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha has been putting in the work as they added Christian Craig back to the roster last week and today they announced that Pierce Brown is joining the team for the 2025 season.

By the looks of it, this will only be a one-year deal for the 2025 SuperMotocross season.

MARIETTA, Ga. – October 10, 2024 – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is pleased to announced the addition of Pierce Brown to their powerhouse 250 team for the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship season.  

Brown is eager to make his racing debut with the team next year in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross, and the SMX World Championship Finals. The 22-year-old from Sandy, Utah, has shown strength, finishing third in the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Championship and recently scored his first SMX World Championship 250SMX victory at the season finale in Las Vegas. Riding that momentum, Brown looks to battle for the title aboard the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing YZ250F in 2025.

“We’re excited to have Pierce join the team. I think his personality and work ethic will fit right in over here and take him to the next level. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can conquer in 2025!”

Brown appears to be peaking at the right time. The 22-year-old accomplished his first career win at the season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which took him to third overall in the 250SMX standings. He has earned his lowest number of his career so far going from #39 to #20 for the 2025 season.
