Jordon Smith Suffers Torn ACL in Daytona SX Crash
A the start of the 250SX main event in Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jordon Smith tangled with Shane McElrath and went down and was unable to continue the race. Smith had to be helped off the track by the Alpinestars medical crew and he underwent tests early in the week.
On Wednesday, Smith posted on Instagram saying an MRI had “confirmed a complete ACL tear with multiple lateral and meniscus tears.” Here is his full post:
Although it's unsure of how long Smith will be sidelined for, the team said in a press release yesterday that he will be out this weekend at the Indianapolis Supercross:
“Marchbanks will be representing the team on his own as teammate Jordon Smith will be sitting out this weekend after hurting his knee in Daytona.”
Through the first four rounds of the 2020 250SX East Region Championship, Smith sits eighth in the points standings with 48 points. He recorded a season-best fourth at the Atlanta Supercross.
About two hours after posting this update, the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki team announced on Instagram that Smith will miss the remainder of supercross.
