After three years with the Team Green Kawasaki program, it appears Caden Dudney’s time with green is over. The Texas native joined the Team Green Kawasaki program in October 2021 while still on mini bikes. He switched to a 250F in mid-2023 and missed the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, making his 250F racing debut at the Ironman National Scouting Moto Combine last August.

At Loretta's this year, Dudney had his breakout rides in the B class, claiming both the 250 B (3-1-1) and Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C (1-1-1) titles. The #40 also claimed the Oakley Award for the fastest lap of the week during the motos. Not only was it a big week for Dudney after missing the 2023 event mid-switch to the big bike, but he also dealt with a hand injury all week at the Ranch. Despite that, Dudney delivered both B titles against some strong competition, even battling his Team Green teammate Landen Gordon for the titles! Working with Kevin Windham, Dudney surely turned heads.
At the Moto Combine at Ironman this year, Dudney moved up to second in the first moto after a bad start but then suffered a pretty big crash that derailed his day.
With his Kawasaki Team Green days now over, we expect to see more news on Dudney announced in the near future.

For now, here is his Instagram post thanking Kawasaki and Team Green manager Ryan Holliday. Dudney gives a lot of props to Holliday for taking a chance on him back a handful of years ago.
“So many people don’t get enough credit in life. I can’t begin to thank @ryanholliday enough for taking a chance and believing in me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without his support and guidance over the last few years along with the rest of the @racekawasaki crew. We started as strangers and ended as family. Thank you all and see you at the races. 💚 #foreverfamily #teamgreen #grateful #thankyou”
