Yamaha to Host 2025 BLU CRU YZ World SuperFinale at Ironman Raceway During Motocross of Nations
BLU CRU Invitationals Continue Nationwide as Young Racers Seek SuperFinale Spots
MARIETTA, Ga. – May 7, 2025 – Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, has announced the 2025 BLU CRU YZ World SuperFinale will be held in the United States at the 2025 Motocross of Nations (MXoN) at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana from October 3 to 5, 2025. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the SuperFinale, which has become a premier global showcase for Yamaha’s top youth motocross talent. Continuing the tradition established last year, Yamaha will select qualifying racers to participate in BLU CRU YZ World SuperFinale through their performance in Yamaha’s 2025 BLU CRU Invitational series.
Last month, Yamaha saw record turnout at the opening round of the 2025 BLU CRU Invitational at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California, with hundreds of participants, family and friends in attendance riding, camping, enjoying free meals, family activities and celebrating the sport throughout the weekend. The next qualifying round is just a few weeks away at Red Bud MX in Buchanan, Michigan from May 16 to 18, followed by Oak Hill Raceway in Alvord, Texas from June 6 to 8.
“We had an incredible turnout at Glen Helen, with hundreds of enthusiastic Yamaha riders, and we look forward to bringing this excitement to loyal BLU CRU riders around the country in our remaining rounds,” said Jennifer Davie, Yamaha’s experiential marketing manager. “With MXoN being held at home this year, we are expanding our rider pool to even more talented riders to represent the U.S. at the YZ SuperFinale, so we are calling on any and all prospective riders to come out to Red Bud or Oak Hill to compete for the opportunity of a lifetime!”
