Dudney joined the team in the fall of 2024 and quickly demonstrated his potential. After returning from injury last season, he delivered strong performances in the SMX Next class, both outdoors and in the postseason. He later gained valuable professional experience by competing in the final two rounds of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, highlighted by an impressive 11th-place overall finish in his pro debut at Unadilla MX.
