Triumph: Jordon Smith Out for Indianapolis SX Showdown This Weekend
Triumph Racing has announced that Jordon Smith will be out for this weekend’s ninth round of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Smith suffered a crash in the first race of the three Triple Crown races in Arlington, Texas, on February 22. The North Carolina native was taken to a local hospital and then announced he suffered a punctured lung, four broken ribs, and a small laceration on his spleen in the brutal crash. The #19 was able to get back home a few days later and start his recovery. Smith entered the Arlington SX second in points to Julien Beaumer—down just two points—but his crash and DNF saw him leave fifth in the championship.
Unfortunately, the injuries will keep Smith on the sideline for this weekend’s Indianapolis SX (the first of three East/West Showdowns this season). Austin Forkner will be the sole Triumph Racing rider in Indiana Saturday as Jalek Swoll (torn Achilles tendon) and Stilez Robertson (wrist injury) are out for the remainder of supercross with injury. Triumph is hoping Smith can return to racing at the March 29 Seattle Supercross up in the Pacific Northwest.
The following press release is from Triumph Racing:

Jordon Smith:
“I’m really bummed to not be lining up for Indy SX this weekend. this is the first supercross I’ve missed in four years and that’s a huge bummer. I’ve done everything I can in my power to be ready since my crash in Arlington, but unfortunately we are going to have to focus on getting back, which will hopefully be by Seattle.”
Get well soon Jordon!

Get well soon, Jordon! 💪
Smith posted to Instagram as well:
"Really bummed that I’m going to have to miss the race this weekend. Indy is my favorite race of the year and if it was only up to handling the pain I would be there. Unfortunately you have to be a bit more cautious with the internal stuff and after talking to multiple doctors the smart thing to do is heal up and try to be back for Seattle. Thanks for the support everyone, especially the whole @officialtriumphracing team!"
