Round ten of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship will take place this Saturday in Mechanicsville, Maryland, at the Yamaha Racing Budds Creek National. Check out the report below for a look at who’s getting back to racing, and who will miss the action due to injury.
450 Class
Justin Barcia – Knees | TBD
Barcia has missed the last few races in an attempt to let his hurt knees heal up. It was thought he’d be back for Unadilla, but his knees weren’t ready yet. At time of posting we hadn’t received confirmation from the team regarding his status for Budds Creek.
Matt Burkeen – Knee | In
Burkeen has riding with a hurt knee the last few weeks. He hasn’t had an MRI yet to confirm the damage, but he suspects one of his ligaments “has left the chat.” He’s going to give it a go at Budds Creek.
Derek Drake – Back | Out
BarX Suzuki have been hoping Drake would be able to return to action for the final two rounds after having surgery to deal with a lingering back injury, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. Drake will miss the rest of Pro Motocross.
James Harrington – Shoulder | Out
Harrinton went down in the Consolation Race at Unadilla while battling for a qualifying spot. He’s out for the last two rounds with a fractured scapula.
Jett Lawrence – Thumb | Out
Honda HRC are hopeful Jett Lawrence will be ready for SuperMotocross after fracturing a bone in his thumb and tearing his UCL before RedBud, but as of now, it’s not a sure thing.
Eli Tomac – Thumb | In
Tomac will be back racing for the first time this summer after sustaining a fractured thumb and torn ligaments in his thumb in Denver. The AMA and Team USA will be keeping an eye on him at these final two rounds, as there’s a chance he could still be selected for Team USA.
Cooper Webb - Thumb | Out
Webb returned to racing last week at Unadilla after sustaining a torn UCL in his thumb during supercross. Unfortunately he crashed and hurt the same thumb again in his return. The good news is, he sprained it and the injury isn’t as severe as the first. He’s out for Budds Creek though, and will assess how he’s feeling going into Ironman.
250 Class
Casey Cochran – Arm | TBD
Cochran sustained deep lacerations to his right arm at Unadilla when he went down and landed arm first into another rider’s rear wheel. He’s day-by-day for Budds Creek
Guillem Farres – Femur | Out

Austin Forkner – Spine, Scapula | Out
