On Episode 598 of the PulpMX Show, Justin Cooper confirmed he has re-signed with the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team next year. Cooper finished sixth in the championship in his first full season of 450SX racing in Monster Energy AMA Supercross—remember he did a handful of races in the middle of the ’23 season—with a season best second at the Salt Lake City Supercross season finale in his 16th main event start of the season. In his first season in the premier class of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, Cooper finished fourth in the championship, scoring two overall podium finishes and a season-best third place in six motos. The New York native led a lot of laps in Pro Motocross and had an impressive rookie year.

“Just one more year with them for now,” Cooper told Steve Matthes of his new deal. “It’s been a really good year. They’re pleased, I’m pleased. We have a good base going into next year. It’s been all good, no reason not to do it again.”

Since turning pro late in 2017 (for the final three Pro Motocross rounds), Cooper raced his entire pro career with Star Racing so far and he is expected to be back alongside both Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb again for the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX).
