2018 Season Recap:
Cooper signed a deal to compete for the Monster Energy/Knich/Yamaha Factory Racing team and looked to contend the 250SX Western Regional Championships in his rookie 250SX racing season. Unfortunately, Justin crashed in a round 2 practice at Houston and was unable to return to action for the remainder of the SX season.

Even though Justin didn't complete the SX season last year, he learned a lot and has been riding with his teammates daily. He is ready to build off his 2018 MX season, where he was rookie of the year and third overall in the final standings, to fight for podiums and wins.
