Deacon Denno Signs Three-Year Contract with Triumph Racing
Deacon Denno, the standout rider from Texas, has officially joined Triumph Racing on a three-year contract, confirming earlier speculation that arose during the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. Denno captured titles in both the 250 B and Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C classes, winning three out of six motos, and was subsequently named the AMA Amateur Rider of the Year for 2025.
The 17-year-old’s partnership with Triumph will see him compete at the amateur level throughout 2026, with a transition to Triumph Factory Racing anticipated for 2027. His first competitive rides on the TF 250-X will occur at the upcoming SMX Next World All-Stars playoff races in Charlotte, North Carolina, and St. Louis, Missouri.
Denno expressed enthusiasm about the contract, stating, “Having a three-year contract that takes me into pro-level racing gives me a lot of confidence… I can’t wait to get started with the next step of my career with Triumph.”
Triumph Racing America’s management echoed this excitement, highlighting Denno’s impressive performance. “To be able to sign the AMA Amateur Rider of the Year is always a great thing… his potential is massive, and we will do our best as a team to go out and win multiple championships with him,” said a team representative.
With Denno’s trajectory poised for rapid advancement, the motorsports community will be closely watching his progress as he transitions from amateur racing to the professional ranks.
