AMA Racing suspends motocross rider Jason Lawrence
PICKERINGTON, Ohio--The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today that it has suspended professional motocross rider Jason Lawrence for unacceptable behavior detrimental to the sport. According to AMA officials, Lawrence was arrested for disorderly conduct at Red Bud Track & Trail on July 4 while in Buchanan, Michigan, for round six of the AMA Toyota Motocross Series Presented by FMF. The incident follows a penalty and suspended fine issued in June for conduct detrimental to the sport at the Freestone County Raceway during round three of the series in Wortham, Texas.
"Mr. Lawrence is suspended indefinitely," said AMA Director of Motocross/Supercross/ATV Ryan Holliday. "In addition, the $25,000 fine that was issued after the June incident and suspended contingent upon the successful completion of a one-year probation will now be imposed." Holliday added that the AMA would not reconsider Lawrence's status until the conclusion of the 2008 season.
Lawrence was notified of the suspension at the race on July 5.

Even when he comes back for '09 SX, you know he'll be on a short list. If this penalty doesn't work, nothing will. He'll pull it together and go fast, you watch.
Reading between the lines, sounds like if he straightens out, he will be back for 09 sx.
Penalty is deserved. Up to him now to come back better.
I really like the rumor of him and Reed being on the same team, riding anything black. Two number 1 plates, two guys who people love to hate, this is a marketing firms wet dream.
Pit Row
And if he is off until the open then that is just the right amount of time to get your ass in gear and dominate the up coming year.
So, no DMG in MX
