Supercross: Justin Brayton Sidelined After Seattle Accident

Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda rider Justin Brayton will join the long list of riders out with injury starting this weekend at Houston. Brayton was involved in the same accident that injured Joe Gibbs Racing Supercross rider, Chad Reed. Per the team statement, Brayton suffered a torn MCL and strained ACL and will be out two to six weeks. Brayton noted on his Instagram that he is shooting to return in round 16 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In the 12 rounds so far this season, Brayton has failed to earn a podium finish. His last podium came in 2018 (round 13) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where he finished third. Brayton has two Heat No. 2 victories this season coming at Glendale and Minneapolis.

Ben LaMay will take over on the No. 10 entry starting this weekend NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. LaMay has two victories in the 450SX LCQ this season most recently last weekend in Seattle. LaMay also earned his season-best finish of 14th during the race in Seattle. His career-best finish in 450SX is the 12th place at Las Vegas in 2014 and Salt Lake City in 2013.

Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda has been plagued with injuries this season. Both Vince Friese and Malcolm Stewart have been sidelined due to injury earlier this season. Mike Alessi has filled in since Atlanta and will continue to for the next two races (Houston and Nashville). Brayton joins Jason Anderson, Friese, Stewart, Cole Martinez, Weston Peick, Aaron Plessinger, Devin Raper, Dakota Tedder, and Reed on the injured rider list. (Koelle,2019)
