Lawrence’s second crash came in the first 250SX heat race. The Honda HRC rider took off the small double that sent the riders back across the starting straight in front of the starting gates and he came down right on a Tuff Block. Lawrence slammed down hard on his right shoulder. He was helped off the track by the Alpinestars medical crew.

Jason Weigandt heard the Tuff Block was placed there in order to keep the riders from swinging wide into the mechanics' area/starting gates.

The highlights from Feld Entertainment also included footage of both of Lawrence’s crashes. Check them out below:

The Australian lined up for the LCQ and—from the far outside—grabbed the holeshot and led every lap before taking one of the final spots in the main event. However, once on the gate for the main event, Lawrence and the Honda HRC team decided to pull him out of competing in the main event. Through the first five rounds of the season, Lawrence has two heat race wins, one 250SX main event win, and two podium finishes. But without competing in the main event, Lawrence (84 points) only gained one point on the night (for qualifying for the main event) and has dropped to fifth in the standings through round five, 38 points behind championship leader Colt Nichols (122 points).

This afternoon, Lawrence posted an update on his status for Saturday, saying that he hopes to lineup for the sixth round.
