Stewart won’t race New Orleans SX this weekend

Joe Gibbs Racing has announced that James Stewart will sit out the New Orleans supercross round this weekend due to the fractured hand he sustained in Indianapolis.

JGR says, “Stewart has been suffering from the effects of a fractured hand since his crash in Indianapolis, which was further aggravated in Houston. He’ll sit out New Orleans to allow his hand additional time to recover. Before rejoining the series, Stewart will have the injury re-evaluated by his doctor.”

Stewart’s teammate, Davi Millsaps, will be on the gate in New Orleans looking to advance to second overall in the series standings.
