Monster Energy® Pro Circuit Kawasaki Rider Returns To Action
Drew Adams Returns to Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Denver
Monster Energy® Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s rising star Drew Adams is set to make his return to racing this weekend in Denver after being sidelined with a broken right collarbone, fractured rib, and compression fractures to his T6, T7, and T8 vertebrae — injuries he sustained at Glendale Supercross in early February. Adams has been steadily rehabbing and is eager to get back behind the gate for his first race back, with eyes also set on closing out the Supercross season strong at the finale in Salt Lake City next weekend.
Adams was welcomed back on his KX™250 at the beginning of April. He has been splitting his time between Supercross prep for the last two rounds and outdoor testing in preparation for his first full Pro Motocross season. Adams has been training at the Dog Pound in Florida, alongside teammate Seth Hammaker, while also traveling to California for test days with the team.
The No. 98 is eager to make his return, as he's been working relentlessly to make his comeback before the end of the season. These final Supercross rounds will give him much-needed seat time on the bike in a competitive racing environment and help ease the transition into motocross.

"It feels awesome to be back on the bike and getting back into my program. The last few months have been tough, but I'm feeling stronger every day. I’m excited to line up again at the Pro Motocross opener and get back to doing what I love with the Monster Energy Kawasaki team behind me."
Drew Adams
"These past few months have definitely been a challenge, but I’ve stayed focused on my recovery and getting stronger every day. I’m really thankful for the support from the whole Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team through it all. I’m excited to finally get back behind the gate in Denver this weekend, shake off the rust, and keep building momentum heading into Salt Lake City. I’m ready to go have some fun and finish the season on a high note."

"Testing has been going great. We’re constantly refining different setups so that when the racers need something, we have a clear direction and solutions ready to go."
