Cypress, CA. October 8, 2014–Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, is pleased to announce a multi-year extension to our relationship with Championship-winning Star Racing through a new contract that will see the successful team race YZ250Fs in both the AMA Supercross and Outdoor series.

This year was a breakout year for the Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha team. The winning train left the station at the final Supercross round in Las Vegas and continued to roll as the team dominated the 2014 Outdoor Nationals, taking home six out of a possible 12 overall wins behind the powerhouse duo of Jeremy Martin and Cooper Webb, with Jeremy Martin wrapping up the title with one race to go, bringing home Star Racing its first AMA National championship.

Yamaha is also pleased to announce that Jeremy Martin, Cooper Webb and Anthony Rodriguez will all be returning having signed new agreements with Star Racing that will insure they will be racing YZ250Fs during the 2015 season. Joining the returning riders will be amateur standout Aaron Plessinger, whose final amateur race will be at the upcoming Monster Energy Cup, from there he will prepare for his pro debut sometime during the 2015 Supercross season.
