Andrew Short won his first career 450 supercross win this weekend in Seattle, Washington. Short, who's from Smithville, Texas, has been racing in the Supercross Class for nearly six years.
Short turned pro in 2000, and by 2001 he had earned a ride with the Motoworld Racing Suzuki support team. The first three years of his pro career were not that good for Andrew
However, the hard worker started earning top twenty results, and in 2002 achieved twelfth overall in the West Coast Supercross Lites class. And fifteenth overall in the MX Lites class.
Andrew ran into another rider's rear wheel as several riders knocked each other off as they were rolling down the start strait. Andrew high sided and the momentum of his body threw him over the bars and then he got ran over by another rider.
Andrew visited the Asterisk Mobile Medical unit and determined that his shoulder dislocation was unlikely but the pain was too much to continue racing for the night.
Later he wrecked and had to have surgery on both elbows. He also has a broken wrist and will have to have a cast, which will make him miss some races.
Andrew Short is a great rider in my opinion and it’s great to see the number 29 back on top.
Motocycle- U.S.A. said:
One of the most clean-cut riders in this ragtag band of moto racers, Andrew Short is the type of guy you might find at a Les Schwab tire shop. Clean-cut, hard-working, friendly, fast and capable of landing results.that’s why multiple factory teams including Suzuki, Honda and KTM have put faith in this young Colorado native.
