Jeremy Martin to Sit Out Four Rounds After Hangtown Crash, Eyes Return at Spring Creek

Two-time Pro Motocross Champion Jeremy Martin has made the tough decision to sit out the next four rounds of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship following his crash at the season opener at Hangtown. The veteran racer, who has battled through multiple injuries over the past few seasons, sustained enough damage in the incident to warrant a break from competition in order to fully recover. Martin, known for his grit and determination, will now shift his focus to returning for what may be the final race of his professional career—his home national at Spring Creek MX in Millville, Minnesota, on July 12.

Martin’s crash at Hangtown was another unfortunate chapter in a career that has seen its fair share of setbacks. While the details of the crash itself have not been fully disclosed, sources close to the team report that Martin suffered significant bruising and lingering soreness that impacted his ability to train and ride at a competitive level. Instead of pushing through and risking further injury, Jeremy has chosen a smarter, more measured approach by taking the necessary time off to properly heal. The move reflects both his maturity as an athlete and his realistic outlook on the final stages of his racing career.

Jeremy’s decision to target Spring Creek for his return is both emotional and symbolic. The Millville National has always held special meaning for the Martin family. Not only is it their home race—literally on the Martin family’s property—but it’s also where Jeremy made a name for himself as one of the sport’s most promising talents. Racing in front of hometown fans, friends, and family provides an opportunity for Martin to close this chapter of his career on a high note. “There’s nothing like racing at home,” Martin said in a brief statement. “If this is going to be my last one, I want it to be at Spring Creek.”

The time off will also allow Martin to prepare specifically for this one race, tailoring his training and recovery efforts toward peaking physically and mentally for the July 12 event. While four rounds of competition will be missed—including marquee races like Thunder Valley, High Point, and RedBud—Martin’s singular focus on Spring Creek underscores the importance of that venue in his personal and professional life. It also gives his fans a clear target to rally around, knowing that his return will be a celebration of everything he’s accomplished in the sport. At a time when many riders are chasing points, podiums, and contracts, Martin’s focus is more personal: a final race that feels right.

Jeremy Martin’s career has been defined by heart, hustle, and an unshakable love for racing. From his championship-winning years to the countless comebacks after injury, Martin has remained one of the most respected figures in the paddock. His willingness to be honest about his physical condition and his emotional connection to racing at Spring Creek speaks volumes about his character. Whether Spring Creek truly marks his final race or not, it’s clear that Jeremy Martin is aiming to write his own ending—on his own terms, in front of the people who have supported him from the very beginning.
