2025 ARLINGTON SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT: INJURY REPORT, TV SCHEDULE & MORE

We head back to the red dirt of Texas for the seventh round of the 2025 Supercross series in Arlington. Cooper Webb has continued to stay consistent and now ties Chase Sexton for the points lead after Webb’s win in Detroit. Sexton has been up and down this season, he has two wins under his belt but also has had some results he would likely want to put in the past. Only one rider will leave Arlington with the red plate. In the 250 class, we go back to the West Coast division where Julien Beaumer leads by only two points over a consistent Jordon Smith. Haiden Deegan is also hanging in there and has a chance to move into the lead if he can get the job done this weekend. After a two-week break, it will be an all-out brawl for the points lead.

BATTLE FOR THE POINTS LEAD

Cooper Webb is tied in points with Chase Sexton for the lead.

The points battle has been extremely close this season and has had multiple red plate holders. Something Cooper Webb has always been good at is attacking when least expected. There’s a reason he has been champion multiple times in the past, and this year he’s proving that he still has the drive. Webb knows very well that to win a Supercross championship you have to play the long game. With a win in Detroit, his momentum is building, and we’re sure it’s making the other riders nervous.

Chase Sexton has consistently been one of the fastest riders on the track.

Chase Sexton has been continuously the fastest rider on the track in Detroit he ran down the whole pack from a dead last start and had the fastest lap times on the track. But he needs to minimize the mistakes if he wants to keep a grip on the championship. The opportunity has presented itself more than a few times for him to win. But Chase is also one of the hardest-working riders on the track and can overcome these challenges.

2025 ARLINGTON SUPERCROSS: RACE DAY SCHEDULE

The track looks good this weekend with a long start straight that leads into a technical rhythm section. Again this weekend we have a sand section that depending on how it is prepped can be a good spot for passing. A triple leading into the whoops will be challenging if they miss the triple they will be off rhythm for the whoops.

INJURED LIST:

HUNTER LAWRENCE – SHOULDER

Hunter joins his brother on the sidelines. 

Hunter Lawrence has been diagnosed with a raised and partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone. He had surgery on the labrum on Thursday, February 13, in Orange County, California, and because his expected recovery time is eight to 10 weeks, he is likely to miss the remainder of the Supercross season.

Daxton started the season strong but should be back when East Coast racing returns. 

Daxton Bennick was second place at the Tampa opener, but unfortunately, he had a practice crash during the week at the Star Racing training facility in Florida, and he suffered a concussion. He missed Detroit but plans to be back for round three of the 250SX East division in Daytona, March 1st.

ELI TOMAC – BROKEN FIBULA 

Eli Tomac stayed tough the through the entire night of racing in Tampa even though he could be seen in visible pain. He even raced the 450 Main with a broken Fibula. He will not be returning in the foreseen future.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac will sit out the upcoming rounds of Monster Energy AMA Supercross to recover from a broken leg sustained during qualifying at Round 5 of the championship last weekend in Tampa, Florida. It was initially thought to be an ankle sprain and bruised calf, but upon further evaluation after the weekend, it was discovered that he had a broken Fibula.

PIERCE BROWN – BACK

Pierce Brown had a tough crash while leading the race in Tampa which resulted in a T5 break to his back.

“I felt great all night, leading my heat and main. Halfway through the main, I crashed in the whoops and unfortunately broke my T5 vertebrae. I had surgery to get it fixed so that I could get back to racing. I want to thank all my family, friends, fans, and the team for all of their support.”

JETT LAWRENCE – KNEE

This is the moment of disaster for Jett Lawrence’s right knee.

Jett Lawrence had an incident a few weeks ago at the  Glendale Supercross when he dabbed his knee on the ground, resulting in a torn ACL. The defending champion immediately pulled off the track and was unable to finish. After an MRI on the following Monday, it became clearer that he had torn his ACL. Jett has already gone under the knife to get it repaired. He will be missing the rest of the Supercross season and it’s unlikely that he’ll be ready to race by the time the Pro Motocross season starts in May.

Jorge Prado will be out for the rest of the Supercross season. 

Jorge Prado stated:“Bad news: Surgery is needed to fix my shoulder and I will be out for the rest of the Supercross season. The time of rehab is unknown and hopefully, I can make it to the start of outdoors. I will be back strong like I always do.”

FREDRIK NOREN — SHOULDER

Swedish rider Fredrik Noren will most of the rerst of the Supercross series with a shoulder injury but will  be back as back as soon as possible.

The ISRT Kawasaki team has announced that Fredrik Noren sustained a shoulder dislocation in Glendale but has no extensive damage. His plan is to be back at the races soon.

STILEZ ROBERTSON – WRIST

22-year-old Stilez Robertson has had a tough go with injuries.  

Stilez Robertson sat out the entire 2024 season with a wrist injury. He was scheduled to race 250 East series for Triumph alongside Jalek Swoll, but things changed the week of Anaheim 1. Jalek got injured, and the team decided to switch Austin Forkner from West to East to fill Jalek’s void. They moved Stilez to the West division to accompany Jordon Smith. Sadly, Stilez aggravated his wrist at San Diego, and he sat out Anaheim 2 and Glendale in hopes of returning healthy for the Arlington Supercross on February 22nd.
