Joey Savatgy suffers punctured lung, broken ribs in Indy Supercross crash
'Not really the way I wanted to spend my Sunday,' Savatgy posted on social media from his hospital room. 'Bummed, had a good night going and felt like I hit the same line as the laps prior. But clearly I made a mistake or something. Punctured lung and some broken ribs, weekend off came at a good time.'
He did not provide a timeline for his return, but Savatgy seemed to indicate in his post that he could be back in action for the next round, which will come in Birmingham, Alabama, in two weeks.
Savatgy was running eighth at the time of his crash on Lap 13, and the red cross flag was employed. Cooper Webb, the round winner, and Chase Sexton, who was running second at the time of the incident, credited that local caution as one of the reasons Webb rapidly extended his lead.
Savatgy has qualified for all nine rounds' features with four top-10s to his credit.

Mikkel Haarup breaks collarbone in Unadilla mid-air crash
Mikkel Haarup collided with another rider on Lap 5 of Moto 1 on the Unadilla National in New Berlin, New York, and broke his collarbone, ending what could be described as a Cinderella Season. "Had a good day going, before going down first moto connected with another rider in the air," Haarup said on social media. "Getting checked up and put back together. Shout out to my team for the help and the hard work! Appreciate all the positive energy!" Haarup aged out of the MXGP small bike division, and since Factory Triumph would not have their 450 ready until 2026, the decision was made to bring him to the United States for Pro Motocross. Haarup scored his first top-10 in Round 2 of the season when he was scored seventh overall with results of 10th in Moto 1 and ninth in Moto 2. His first top five came on the Fourth of July weekend in the RedBud National with a fourth-place result overall. In total, Haarup earned seven top-10s and an 11th in 10 rounds of 2025, which allowed him to rise in the SuperMotocross standings quickly. Despite failing to earn any points in Unadilla, Haarup left the track 13th in the combined SuperMotocross standings with an 84-point advantage over the cutline, so his invitation to the playoffs was guaranteed. The first round of the playoffs begins on September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, and while the team has not stated outright that he is done for the season, collarbone injuries typically take longer to recover from than the time available.
