2023 ATLANTA SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT: TV SCHEDULE, INJURED LIST & MORE

Round 13 of the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross season is just around the corner and we’re excited to once be back at a Speedway track. Located at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, the MX/SX combo track always delivers in intense battle and insanely fast speeds in a similar vein to Daytona. In the point standings, the tie has been broken for the lead as Eli Tomac won yet another Triple Crown while Cooper Webb 4th place finish will land him 7 points back from the lead. Chase Sexton, who finished second in the night at Glendale, is now 25 points back from Eli. In the 250 class, Jett finally broke the Triple Crown curse, taking the win as the 250 West class takes another break for this weekend.

So who will take the win at the second speedway course of the season? Time is ticking for both Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton as the season comes closer to an end with the red plate in Eli Tomac’s possession. And will it be another cake walk for Hunter Lawrence in the 250 East? Stay tuned this weekend, but first, let’s find out what you need to know heading into Atlanta.

INJURY REPORT:

CHRISTIAN CRAIG – DISLOCATED HIP AND BROKEN/DISLOCATED ELBOW

Christian went down in the first practice session at Glendale through the whoops section dislocating both his hip and and elbow. We most likely won’t see Christian back for the rest of the season as the swelling sustained from a dislocated hip can take a while. And while in the act of dislocating his elbow, he also fractured it as well. 

DYLAN FERRANDIS – CONCUSSION

Dylan Ferrandis 2023 Anaheim 2 Supercross-9340Dylan Ferrandis hit his head hard in the 450 Main Event at Houston. He was knocked out for a few minutes, but then he woke up and got off the track with the help of the Alpinestars medical team.  Dylan Ferrandis made his return to racing at Daytona, but a big crash during Press Day and he hasn’t been back racing since then.

MARVIN MUSQUIN – WRIST

Marvin Musquin 2023 Anaheim 1 Supercross-368433-year-old Marvin Musquin injured his wrist in a practice crash after Anaheim 1. KTM announced last week that he is out indefinitely with a scaphoid injury. The scaphoid bone is a delicate one that doesn’t receive a lot of blood flow, meaning that it can die off if it isn’t allowed to heal properly. Marvin had a one-year, Supercross-only contract for 2023 with KTM and we are unsure what his future will look like if he doesn’t race anymore this season. 

MICHAEL MOSIMAN (EAST)– CONCUSSION

Michael Mosiman had a crash at Daytona resulting in the GasGas rider hitting his head and suffering a concussion. Michael will follow concussion protocol and he hopes to return to the 250 East series soon.

CAMERON MCADOO (WEST)– DISLOCATED SHOULDER/ TORN LABRUM

Cameron McAdoo 2023 Seattle Supercross-8610Cameron McAdoo sustained a dislocated shoulder while practicing before Glendale.

NICK ROMANO – KNEE

Nick Romano 2022 Fox Raceway National-9920Nick Romano will miss the entire 2023 season, both Supercross and motocross. Nick tore his ACL and meniscus in his knee and had surgery.

MALCOLM STEWART – KNEE

Malcolm Stewart 2023 San Diego Supercross-0338Malcolm Stewart crashed while practicing after the San Diego Supercross and he tore his ACL. Malcolm just had surgery last week and is out for the foreseeable future.

JO SHIMODA – COLLARBONE

Jo Shimoda 2022 Washougal National-9287Jo Shimoda was slated to race 250 East Coast, but he broke his collarbone a week and a half before the Houston opener. He hopes to be back at the races for Atlanta. 

SETH HAMMAKER – WRIST

Seth Hammaker 2022 Washougal National-9282Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker injured his wrist the same week as Jo Shimoda, leaving Mitch Payton’s team empty until Chris Blose got the fill-in ride. 

JALEK SWOLL – BROKEN ARM

Jalek Swoll 2022 Fox Raceway II National-5789Just a week before the 250 East Coast regional Supercross championship kicked off, Jalek crashed and suffered a spiral fracture in his arm. Jalek has already undergone successful surgery and now he’s on the road to recovery.

AUSTIN FORKNER – KNEE

Austin Forkner 2023 Anaheim 1 Supercross-6849Austin Forkner injured his knee at the start of the 250 Main Event at Anaheim 1. He had surgery on it and is most likely out for the season. 

GARRETT MARCHBANKS – WRIST

Garrett Marchbanks Brandon Haas ClubMX YamahaGarrett suffered an arm injury during his pre-season training at the Club MX facility. ClubMX gave us an update on Garrett a few weeks ago: “Surgery went well for the Daytona champion as he had the plate removed from his wrist on Monday. The next step is to get the stitches removed in another week and then start the rebuilding process. Garrett continues to work with the team and also works as a trainer helping the amateurs every day. We appreciate his dedication and participation to help continue the growth of the ClubMX program by giving back his time. A bit more time will help us determine when he can return to racing.”
