After podium finishes in the opening two rounds, Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker is out of Supercross after a testing crash saw him fracture two vertebrae and lacerate his spleen.

“This week I had a practice crash getting ready for San Diego. Grade 3 spleen laceration and compression fractures in T7 and T8 in my back. I’m gutted to say the least. The team and I have been working hard to bring our best every weekend. I appreciate there support through all of the good and bad! The main goal now is to heal up right and completely before we get back to racing. I will keep y’all informed of how long I will be out as we know a little more. Thanks to everyone for the support I will be back better and stronger,” he said.
