Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team rider Jalek Swoll successfully underwent surgery Saturday morning to repair a broken bone in his arm, which he sustained during a practice crash on Friday in Clermont, Florida.
Swoll, who was slated to compete in the 250SX Eastern Regional Championship aboard the FC 250, will miss the opening round Saturday, February 4 in Houston, Texas. Details of his recovery time have not yet been determined.
The news comes on the heels of another unfortunate announcement from 450SX rider Malcolm Stewart, who also suffered a practice crash earlier this week. Stewart will remain sidelined until further evaluation from doctors. The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team wishes both riders a speedy recovery.
