Gotta feel a little bad for the guy, he's like the red-headed step-child.To bad Chad couldn't get any where near either one of them.
The guy is a class act; great ambassador for the sport.How about Everts showing up?
That's what happens when you put two, no excuses, no bs racers together. The RC look over on his pass was Awesome!That was an amazing race one of the best I've seen. Hats off to a great clean race for both of those guys.
I really doubt anyone will stick to it as long as RC did ... "could" JS beat the records? Probably. "Will" he... doubtful. If you are him, in this day and age, you take the big bucks, get your titles and move along... probably a lot sooner than RC did. I doubt anyone has the drive and determination and yes LUCK over the long-haul that RC has had.dirt bike dave said:That was awesome!
Props to Bubba for another amazing race and lightning speed through the whoops. But RC will forever be the GOAT.

Lack of respect for the continuous excuses... plain and simple. JS OWNS Reed's brain.If he is so fast, then why does he have to hug up on Reed every chance he gets?
Someone who get's it... very cool.2-Strokes 4-ever said:Way cool race. The "look-overs" seemed like a sign of mutual respect........a nice way for JS to confirm RC, and a respectful way for RC to "hand over the reigns." Was it 05 or 06 when RC and McGrath went over a double, did look-overs, and RC pointed to Showtime like......"You da Man?"
Funny how the races that RC competed in James and RC gapped Reed by 30+ seconds but in the rounds that RC did not compete James beat Reed by a comfortable 5-15 sec margin. In this race, Reed got the holeshot and RC and JBS caught and passed Reed and managed to gap him by 18.5 seconds on a track that they were turning 48 second lap times, that is HUGE. James's Best time was over a second faster than Reeds best time. Some think Reed is just as fast because he has been within 5-15 seconds of James at the races RC did not compete, I think that James has gotten smarter and is riding fast enough to win comfortably and when RC is there it is a lot faster pace than when it is just Reed. I also think that RC holds his lines therefore there is no contact with JBS and RC. However when James goes by Reed, such as in St. Louis (the first time he passed Reed) he passed him clean, no where near contact but Reed went down low, made contact with James and took them both out. The second time James passed Reed after coming back from a 30 second deficit it was again a clean pass, no contact but he did block pass him and gave him a look back as if to say "not even a blatant take out can stop me from beating you".FruDaddy said:To all those that believe that nobody can keep up with Stewart, watch it again. And Reed was close, just not at the end. He was up there for several laps, enough for Stewart to screw up (but unfortunately that did not happen this time). Also, did anybody notice that Stewart was giving RC plenty of room in the turns. If he is so fast, then why does he have to hug up on Reed every chance he gets? Clarity, when he passes the worlds fastest rider, he leaves 3-6 feet of dirt between him and his opponent, but when he passes somebody that doesn't stand a chance of keeping up with him, he has to rub elbows? It looks to me like he's just an *******, and I am getting sick of him.

Rubbin is racing. Dale Earnhardt used to lean on people, even when he didn't have to. Racing is a mental game, it's pretty obvious that James is in Chad's head.FruDaddy said:To all those that believe that nobody can keep up with Stewart, watch it again.

Just the response that I was looking for. Stewart does it when he doesn't have to (just to send an unnecessary message?), and it's just part of the game, but when Reed does do something about it (uses identical tactics), the world explodes with criticism about a blatent take-out. Well, I ask all, is rubbin' really a part of racin' or not? If so, then it is OK for everybody, including the "crybaby". If not, then Stewart needs to play right too.karterron said:Rubbin is racing.

When did MX get so politically correct, he didn't knock crybaby down or take him out. RC did the same thing to Reed in the heat race. That's a message to crybaby, you're not good enough now or ever. Don't like it, do something about it.
