Do you know why Jason Anderson has to do community service? This professional racer is in the news because he drove so roughly that he was put on probation for six months. Still, many of you don’t know what happened or that the event happened. Before we go any further, let’s talk briefly about how well-known Jason Anderson is.
Jason Anderson is best known for being a Motocross and Supercross racer, but that’s just the beginning. Born on February 17, 1993, he turned 30 this year. Jason is from the New Mexico town of Edgewood. He has been interested in racing since he was very young and has done well in that field.
Jason Anderson became a professional racer in 2011, and he now races for Monster Energy Kawasaki. He used to compete for Rockstar in the past. Jason made it to the 2018 450 AMA Supercross and FIM World Championships. This is one of the things he is proud of. Last year, he got to the second place in 450 SX and the third place in 450 MX.
Coming back to the news that Jason Anderson is on probation, the rough riding incident between him and Justin Barcia happened. Where? In the Monster Energy Supercross race in Tampa, Florida. If you want to know why Jason is on probation for six months, here is what we know.
Jason Anderson Is On Six-Months Probation: Here Is Why
As was already said, Jason Anderson’s rough riding is the main reason why he is on probation. The American Motorcycle Association has made the news public. What went wrong?
Jason Anderson pushed Justin Barcia into the Tuff Blox when he tried to pass the ball. In the end, that made them both crash on Lap 6. But the first one finished in sixth place, and Justin came back to finish in eighth place.
Well, Jason Anderson talked about his rivalries with some of the other racers seven days before the incident. He said, “I’ll just try to get in front and do my job.”
Did you know that Justin Barcia was put on probation last year for riding too roughly? After that, in the second round in San Diego, Justin knocked Justin Bogle to the ground. This time, Jason had the same thing happen to him. It looks like they have talked in the past. Why?
Because Justin hit Jason in a Supercross race in Indianapolis. As far as any of us could tell, that fight between them is still going on. So, this isn’t the first time Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia have had a fight.
Well, it looks like the punishment is fair and makes a lot of sense. Jason has also been told in writing what he needs to do. Jason needs to act well for the next six months because he is on probation. If he doesn’t do that, he might get caught and have to pay bigger fines.
We hope that Jason Anderson will be a nice person. He said in an interview, “I just want to do my best, try to grow, and stay away from that. I will do my best to change that about myself.”
