Chase Sexton is clear of injuries after suffering a hard crash during the final 450SX qualifying session at round 12 of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross Championship in Seattle.
Despite suffering a hard rhythm-section crash in the final 450SX qualifying session, Sexton ended up with a fifth-best time of 48.888”. The HRC Honda rider was banged-up enough though that he and the team felt it prudent for him to heal up and come back strong for the St. Louis round in two weeks.
“Seattle wasn’t very good for me,” Sexton lamented. “I had a big get-off in the second qualifying session; I mis-shifted on a three-on and ended up in neutral, and went over the bars, which didn’t feel great. I hit my back pretty hard and was overall shaken up, so we decided to sit out the night. Overall, I feel pretty good [on Monday]. My body’s a little sore, but I’m excited to get back to work, address any issues and get back at it in St. Louis.”
Team Manager, C, added, “It was a rough day for us as a team with Chase having a huge crash in practice. Luckily, he seems to be relatively okay, but he wasn’t able to race tonight because of being beat up and not feeling 100%.”
