2020 Salt Lake City Two Supercross | Entry List & Injury Report

2020 SALT LAKE CITY ONE SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Another one. After Sunday’s stellar return to racing, the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series will continue on Wednesday night with twelfth round of the season the 2020 Salt Lake City Two Supercross. This race will again feature the 250 East Coast and 450 Class competitors, but this will be much different than Sunday because this will be a “traditional” night race with the normal schedule of events. Will the cooler temperatures and night time gate drops have an impact? 

The AMA has released the provisional entry list for the race, which is limited to 40 entrants per class. This is where things get interesting. Riders that had scored championship points in 2020 were the first to be extended an invitation, but with less than 40 racers ranked in any one division, there were still spots that needed to be filled. Riders with an AMA National number that did not score points yet were the next to be passed an entry form, then those with spots on teams, and finally to any rider that could stay in Utah and race the remainder of the program. Did you really think there would be less than 40 riders on the starting list for the first race?

Even though the unplanned break between Daytona and Salt Lake City gave riders some extra time to heal up injuries or sort out things in their programs, the sudden restart has caused some issues. Some riders decided to undergo surgery for serious injuries that while others were unable to take on spending a month in Utah and all that costs that come with it. There are a handful of riders that scored championship points in 2020 that will not be racing in Salt Lake City and we’ve included them as part of the injury report.
