(he's won there eight times be-
fore), but everything came crash-
ing down on him on the last lap of
the main. He was literally in the
middle of a heated three-way bat-
tle for third through fifth with Ken
Roczen and Ryan Dungey when
he took a header in the whoops.
The three of them were com-
ing up on a lapped rider when
Reed started getting a little out of
shape and then tagged Roczen's
rear wheel. He augured into the
ground head first, nearly getting
run over by Dungey in the pro-
cess. It was an ugly crash and he
did not finish the race.
After finishing third, Roczen
immediately checked on his
friend Reed, who was still sitting
on the track being attended to by
the trackside medics.
"I'm bummed about Reed and
I hope he's okay," said Roczen
later that night. "On that last lap,
I don't know if he got on my rear,
but I was really close to Nick Wey,
and I got squirrelly in the whoops
and Reed hit me."
Reed, complaining of pain
in his shoulder and upper back
area, spent the night in the hos-
pital, where it was later discov-
ered that he had suffered a break
in his scapula, collarbone and
T1 vertebra. After revealing the
news via Twitter, Reed said that
he still plans on suiting up at the
next race in Texas.

been his closest, but he's been
struggling to get on the podium
ever since. He hit rock bottom
