Carson Mumford’s Promising SuperMotocross Playoffs Cut Short by Practice Crash

Firepower Honda’s Carson Mumford, who was showing great potential at the SuperMotocross Playoffs, faced an unfortunate setback during the second round of SMX in Dallas, Texas. Mumford experienced a significant crash during practice, resulting in a right leg injury that has now necessitated surgery.

Describing the incident as a “stupid crash,” Mumford expressed his frustration and disappointment. “Had a stupid crash in practice today and compounded my right leg,” he shared. “I’ve been riding so dang good lately this is seriously heart crushing.”

Mumford also commented on the track layout in Dallas, which he found to be unconventional. “That track was really, really weirdly built to me, but it is what it is—you’re not going to like every track you ride,” he said, reflecting on the challenge posed by the course.

The young rider is scheduled for surgery this afternoon to address the leg injury. Despite the setback, Mumford remains optimistic about his recovery, expressing

hope for a swift return to health. “Hoping for the best and to get out of the hospital in a few days,” he said.

As Mumford faces this unexpected hurdle, his resilience and determination will be crucial in navigating his recovery and future races. Fans and team members alike are hopeful that he will make a full recovery and return to competitive form in the near future.
