IN THE WIND P32 NELSON TO SIT OUT REST OF SUPERCROSS T roy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/KTM rider Jessy Nelson will sit out the remaining 2015 Supercross West Region rounds with an injury. Nelson crashed while testing at Glen Helen Raceway for the outdoor Nation- als and, although he didn't sustain any broken bones, he decided it would be in the best interests of the team to take the rest of the season off so he can heal up 100 percent for the outdoor season. "It's definitely tough to make that call, especially when you are sitting second in points," Jessy said of his decision prior to the April 11 Houston Supercross. "I have good people around me and we all think the smart move is to take the time I need and line back up when I'm completely ready. I'm already looking forward to Hangtown." CALISTOGA HALF-MILE DATE CHANGE R ound 15 of the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track sched- ule, the Calistoga Half-Mile, has been moved back one week to September 26. The change of date has been implemented due to conflicting events happening in the area on the original date, with promoters keen to see the maximum number of spectators track- side for the half mile. The event will still be the penulti- mate round of the 2015 season with championships most likely still up for grabs. "We're happy to be returning to Cal- istoga Speedway and the beautiful Napa County Fair- grounds," said Mi- chael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. "The date change should ensure the best possible turnout for the race, and we're ready to put on a great show." Round three of the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track season continues at the Springfield Mile on May 24. Jessy Nelson will sit out the rest of the 250 West Supercross Series. Take note that the Calistoga Half-Mile has been moved back one week to September 26.
