Amateur standout Deacon Denno has found a new home with the Triumph Factory Racing team. The Texas native signed a new three-year contract which will see him conclude his amateur career before joining the professional ranks in 2027 and 2028. Denno recently won the 250B and Schoolboy 2 titles at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and was crowned the AMA Amateur Rider of the Year for 2025. Denno is set to debut on his new ride at the upcoming SMX Next World All-Stars playoff races in Charlotte, North Carolina, and St. Louis, Missouri.
“I’m really excited for this new chapter with Triumph Racing America,” Denno said. “Having a three-year contract that takes me into pro-level racing gives me a lot of confidence. What the team has achieved over the last two years is amazing, and I’m excited to be a part of it. I’m grateful for this opportunity and pumped on having the whole team behind me. I can’t wait to get started with the next step of my career with Triumph.”
“I am beyond excited to welcome Deacon to the brand as he has done nothing but impress me both on and off the bike,” said Jeremy Coker, General Manager of Triumph Racing America. “His Loretta Lynn’s performance this year was just the icing on the cake for me, and it underlined his speed and ability. To be able to sign the AMA Amateur Rider of the Year is always a great thing. I look forward to the journey with Deacon. He will continue to race at an amateur level before turning pro with Triumph Factory Racing for 2027. His potential is massive, and we will do our best as a team to go out and win multiple championships with him.”
