Jordon Smith Announces Injury Update from Arlington Crash
While leading the final race of the Arlington Triple Crown, Jordon Smith was headed toward the white flag on pace to winning the first of three races in AT&T Stadium. For Round 5 of 250SX West Division, and for any triple crown, coming out of the gate strong is always beneficial for a good showing overall. Smith, who won earlier this year in Glendale and holds three podiums so far, held a respectable position in the championship standings as the series approached the halfway mark. But Smith would never take that white flag as his No. 19 Triumph bike crashed, throwing him into the next whoop and ending his night. The Alpinestars medical crew attended to him once the rest of the field passed. Smith was escorted off the track lifted by a stretcher. All the fans cheered when Smith waved, being alert and talked with the medical crew. Smith, 30, would not return and would instead be transported to a local hospital. Later that evening, Smith posted an update on social media of his health condition, sharing that he suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs after doctors evaluated him. 'Hey guys, obviously really bummed with going down so hard like that,' Smith posted on X. 'Was feeling good and felt good all the way through. I'm in the hospital right now. Unfortunately I sustained a punctured lung and possibly some broken ribs. All good we will heal up and be back as soon as possible.' At the time, the Belmont, N.C. native was second in the 250SX championship standings, two points behind Julien Beaumer and one point ahead of Haiden Deegan. Triumph Factory Racing Team now has three of their four riders out for injury. Stilez Robertson had surgery on his wrist to fix ligament damage from San Diego last month, the same wrist that kept him out of last season. Jalek Swoll, focused on the East division, is sidelined for the Supercross season with an Achilles tendon injury. Austin Forkner is now the sole rider carrying the team banner. It is uncertain when Smith will return to AMA competition, but his run at the 250SX Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship comes to an abrupt end at the Lonestar State.
