The final stop of Yamaha’s bLU cRU Invitational series–a four-race series exclusively for Yamaha YZ and PW riders, featuring a three-moto format, family activities, prizes, and special guests–took place at Monster Mountain in Alabama over the weekend and some of Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing’s newest recruits were in action. In late October, the powerhouse squad added Easton Graves and Levi Townley and Jaggar Townley, sons of former champion Ben Townley, to its amateur program.
Graves, fresh off his Supermini 2 title at Loretta Lynn’s, made his 250 B debut in impressive fashion, sweeping all three motos to claim the overall ahead of Tate Reed. And yes, that’s the son of multi-time AMA champion Chad Reed.
Graves also grabbed two moto wins in 450 B but ultimately finished second overall behind Kyle Paleologos.
Meanwhile, Townley shined in his debut, taking home wins in Schoolboy 1 with 2-1-1 finishes and the 125cc 13-16 Superfinale with a clean three moto sweep.
In the 85cc divisions, it was all Jaydin Smart, who continues to pile up wins in 2026. The reigning Loretta Lynn’s 85cc 10-12 champion was perfect at Monster Mountain, winning all six motos across the 85cc 12-14 and 85cc 11-14 Superfinale classes. Even more impressive? Smart led all 24 laps he raced over the weekend.
