Kitchen Out
With Injury
M
onster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's Levi Kitch-
en was riding a wave of momentum lately when
he suffered a broken wrist while practicing a few days
before the Spring Creek National Motocross.
The rookie from Washington had earned his first-
career moto win at the Colorado National last month,
leading all 15 laps of the first 250cc moto. He fin-
ished out the day on the podium for the first time of
his young career. Ever since, Kitchen has been post-
ing top-10 overall finishes and was holding down fifth
in the championship when the injury took place.
Kitchen underwent surgery and will most likely be
sidelined for the rest of the season, saying, "I'll do my
best to be back as soon as I can."
