Alex Martin is set to return to Pro Motocross action this weekend for his home race at Spring Creek after healing from injury quicker than expected.

The Manluk Rock River Merge Racing Yamaha rider crashed in practice at round two of the 2021 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross season, breaking his radius and ulna in his right arm in the fall.

Less than 24 hours later, he had surgery to repair it and is now set to return for his home race at Spring Creek MX, the facility owned and operated by his family.

“Excited to be back for Spring Creek MX this weekend,” Martin explained. “I couldn’t miss the home race and I’m grateful the healing process was faster than expected this time around. Let’s goooo!!”

Martin has five consecutive 250MX podiums at the Millville, Minnesota facility, as he looks to make it six this Saturday in his return to racing.
