Smith Showcases Unique St. Jude Livery in St. Louis
Jordon Smith's impressive run of form continued to build inside of St. Louis' Dome at America's Center this weekend, which hosted the 12th round of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship. Smith, piloting the TF 450-X, sported a unique livery from SKDA in honor of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a cause that Triumph Factory Racing has backed each year since it entered off-road competition.
Smith took his unique look directly into 450SX's main event via an eighth in his heat and appeared set to battle for another top ten, as he started inside of the top 12. Unfortunately, a couple of small crashes meant that he had to fight back from the rear of the field to capture as many points as possible. As motivated as ever, he clawed his way to 17th at the chequered flag and consequently moved to 19th in the championship standings.
In 250SX, privateer Brandon Ray opted for the TF 250-X to tackle the famed East/West Showdown. Transferring into the main event via the last chance qualifier, he raced to 21st.
The short jaunt to Nashville's Nissan Stadium awaits the Triumph effort now. The venue, which did not star on last season's SMX schedule, returns to host Round 13 of 2026 AMA Supercross series. Gage Linville is poised to make his TF 250-X debut when the gates fall in the 'Music City' on Saturday, April 11.
Jordon Smith:
"It was a pretty rough day today in St. Louis. Practice didn't go great – I do not know if I had a good lap all day long. I found some momentum in the main event but crashed twice. It wasn't a great day. We'll get back to work this week and try to be better next weekend."
Steve Westfall:
"Today was a rough day. Track conditions were gnarly. Jordon struggled all day – he will rebound next weekend and we will put our heads down this week to help him get back inside the top ten."
