Man, this sucks. After back-to-back podium finishes to begin the 250SX West Region, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker is out for the foreseeable future due to a practice crash this week.
According to his Instagram, Hammaker sustained a grade 3 spleen laceration and compression fractures in T7 and T8 in his back.
“Hey guys I hate to post this news but unfortunately 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.”
Per the team, he will be sidelined “from racing until further notice.”
We will update once more is known.
