It’s been a great year. I’ve been blessed to have been able to race the races I’ve raced and earn some decent results while working as much as I have been, even at the tracks and in between motos. Unfortunately, I had a tip over in the LCQ at Budd’s Creek that put an end to my season. I finished the races that day but an evaluation from my knee surgeon shows that it’s best I get some R&R. I’m super thankful for all of the people who have helped me grow as a racer and as a person. Racing motocross has shaped me into the person I am and taught me so many valuable life lessons. There’s no dollar value that can replace that. But where I used to put a race before my health, i’m putting my health before a race. I’m not racing this weekend at Iron Man, but when i race again, I’ll be healthy and strong ?? @cycledump

SEAN CANTRELL – WRIST | OUT

Comment: Cantrell’s wrist and hand have been bothering him ever since he got injured in supercross. Instead of racing on a painful wrist, the decision was made to have surgery to get it fixed in order to be fully ready for 2020.

After my wrist injury during supercross, my pain never seemed to go away. Over time that pain has moved into my hand and has been very difficult to ride with close to zero grip strength. After last weekends race I just couldn’t handle the pain anymore so I’ve decided to get a jump start on the healing process and get surgery today. Already looking forward to getting on a bike and being 100%

JOEY CROWN - THUMB | OUT

Comment: Crown sat Budds Creek out after racing at Unadilla, when he aggravated an existing thumb injury. His intention was to come back strong at Ironman but his thumb isn’t ready yet.

DEREK DRAKE – ANKLE | OUT

Comment: Drake tore some ligaments in his ankle at Millville and has been dealing with it since. Unfortunately he crashed at Budds Creek and felt something pop in his ankle. It won’t require surgery but he’ll have to stay off his ankle for two to three months for it to heal properly. He’s out for Ironman.

AUSTIN FORKNER – KNEE | OUT

Comment: Forkner was forced to take the 2019 season of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship due to a torn ACL suffered during supercross.

JACOB HAYES – KNEE | OUT

Comment: Hayes had hoped to return for Ironman after missing Budds Creek with a tweaked knee suffered at Unadilla, but it didn’t work out. He’ll miss the finale.
