Hunter Yoder represents the pipeline running from the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast amateur scene into AMA Supercross. Pennsylvania has a deep motocross tradition, and Yoder's talent caught the attention of Yamaha Star Racing before he turned professional in 2022.
The 250SX West is one of the most competitive classes in supercross. Racing against Deegan, Kitchen, and Anstie weekly requires starts, rhythm, racecraft, and conditioning. Yoder delivered 107 points and 7th in the championship — a strong result for a rider building his factory career.
"Star Racing gave me the tools to compete at the highest level. Now it's on me to keep pushing forward."
