Amateur Star Deacon Denno Inks Three-Year Deal with Triumph Factory Racing

Following a breakout campaign at the 2025 Loretta Lynn Amateur National Motocross Championship, Deacon Denno was a hot commodity. 

At the Ranch, talks of an eventual move from KTM to Triumph—where he currently trains—was the talk around the pits. 

And now it’s official: Denno has signed a three-year deal with Triumph Racing America where he will continue competing at the amateur level before stepping up to the professional ranks with Triumph Factory Racing in 2027.

Denno will debut this weekend at the SMX Next World All-Stars event at the opening round of the SuperMotocross Playoffs in Charlotte. He will also contest the St. Louis round of World All-Stars before competing in all major amateur races in 2026. He will join the pro team for 2027 and 2028.

“I’m really excited for this new chapter with Triumph Racing America. Having a three-year contract that takes me into pro-level racing gives me a lot of confidence. What the team has achieved over the last two years is amazing, and I’m excited to be a part of it. I’m grateful for this opportunity and pumped on having the whole team behind me. I can’t wait to get started with the next step of my career with Triumph.” 

Jeremy Coker – General Manager, Triumph Racing America

“I am beyond excited to welcome Deacon to the brand as he has done nothing but impress me both on and off the bike. His Loretta Lynn’s performance this year was just the icing on the cake for me, and it underlined his speed and ability. To be able to sign the AMA Amateur Rider of the Year is always a great thing. I look forward to the journey with Deacon. He will continue to race at an amateur level before turning pro with Triumph Factory Racing for 2027. His potential is massive, and we will do our best as a team to go out and win multiple championships with him.”
