Rising Supercross rider Juju Minear was forced to withdraw from Saturday’s competition in Houston after a crash during qualifying ruled him out of the main event. The incident occurred early in the session and prevented the young competitor from advancing.
Minear, who has gained attention this season for his speed and consistency, was aiming for another strong showing at NRG Stadium. However, the crash left him unable to continue, and medical staff recommended he sit out the remainder of the event. Team officials have not yet released detailed information about any injuries.
The Houston stop is a key round in the Supercross schedule, and Minear’s absence reshaped the field heading into the night program. His withdrawal also raises questions about his availability for upcoming rounds, as teams and fans await an update on his condition.
