Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is excited to announce the promotion of Wil Hahn to 450 Team Manager and the addition of Martin Davalos to their management team. Davalos will fill Hahn’s previous role as the 250 General Manager, joining 250 Team Manager Jensen Hendler. The changes to the management team are in effect for the upcoming Monster Energy SMX World Championship postseason, with the first Playoff round held on September 12 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Hahn has a history of success with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, with 11 250 class number-one plates added to the doors of the 250 team’s semi-truck during his tenure. Since joining the team in 2017 after retiring from racing, he was the 250 Team Manager through the 2021 Supercross season. Hahn returned with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing before the start of the 2025 outdoor season, assuming the role of 250 General Manager, which oversaw the championship-winning program’s talented roster in both the pro and amateur ranks, as well as rider development and recruiting.
With a racing career that spanned 16 years in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross, Davalos brings with him a wealth of experience. After retiring in 2021, the rider from Ecuador transitioned to a team management role. He now joins Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing as the 250 General Manager and looks to build on the team’s success in the 250 class and amateur ranks.
