Stewart out at Dilla. Went down in practice and hurt his shoulder. Won't be riding today.

This will be interesting with James and Ricky gone, who will be the best of the rest?

Whoa, that's big news!

In practice, Langston, Millsaps, Ferry and Windham were all within 1 second of each other.

I would love to see Ferry take it, but I'm gonna guess Langston. I also think Alessi will make the top 5.

I'd like to see one of the Young Guns take it, Allessi or Milsaps :)

How bad is Stewart? broken or bruised?

This could be Allessi's big chance if he gets the holeshot. I would love to see Windham get it. Everyone should be stepping it up with Ricky and James gone.

They took Stewart to the hospital. He was complaining about neck and back pain. No other news yet.

Time for a Leatt brace. :nod:

This has been a great season for close races. RC and JBS have had some great battles. Now we will get to see the best of the rest fighting over 1st instead of 3rd. I expect them all to bring their best. Could be epic! I doubt anyone will be running away with it.

And in the Lites, Dungy is back, but it looks like RV and Townley are a step above. Those top 2 should also have another close battle. Townley often seems to be willing to let RV take Moto 1, then go after him with everything he has in Moto 2.

Dowd is out there, and he's a mudder! Would love to see him get top 10.

Too bad for RV in Moto 1. And WTG Hepler! Former 'dilla winner is the forgotten man in the Lites Class.

Ben Townley wins Moto 1 and turns in a lap time in the 2:11 range. :nod:

Kevin Windam wins his Moto 1 on 2:16's and Tim Ferry has the fastest in the big boy class at 2:14 and change. :whoa:

Think about that for a second or two. :nener:

Hope Stewart didn't ding himself out of another season. This has to suck for him, RC's bye week..a time for JS to cruise and he's crashing his brains out. Not a good thing. :think:

What a race. In the words of James Stewart, "Now THAT'S what it's all about!"

Great ride for Ferry and Short. :cool:

How does Stewart getting hurt change anything? Do I need to point out that RC was in the point lead and clearly in control of the championship had he decided to stay regardless of Stewart being there or injured?

Ferry fell on the last lap of Moto 1 while in 3rd. Tedesco and Langston got by. If Ferry had not bobbled, his 3-1 would have taken the OA over KDub's 1-3.

I'm glad to see KDub win, but you gotta feel for the Red Dog! He had a great ride.

Tedesco did pretty well, too.

Alessi pulled over to get goggles in the 2nd moto and it cost him some time. He tied Short for 3rd OA on points, but lost the podium spot due to Shorty's better 2nd moto.

Byrne apparently had a bad get off in Moto 2. I hope he's OK.

Oh, and Dungy held off a charge by Townley to take 2nd in the Lites Moto 2.

Congrats to KW.

This season has got to haunt Stewart, knowing the The Goat walked away in the lead :laugh:

HEHA, :ride: go Dungy!!!

Glad KW got the win,

thats what racing is all about, IF, MIGHT of,should of, could of.
IF Stewart hadnt endoed in the rut at Red Bud, he MIGHT of beat the GOAT, (probably not) :nener: well never know.

Yeah that was a good race. Too bad Stewart crashed--he laid there for a while while before they took him off the track and they red flagged practice. It sure did open up the field for the race.

I was glad to see KW win but it was obvious in the second moto that he was running the numbers to see where he fit into the overall. He went into coast mode. He even said so in the press conference after the race. I like Kevin a lot but I predict he won't be back next year. He said too many things that sound more like a reason to leave than a reason to stay.

Dungy was amazing. He thought he had won the overall but was still very happy to place second. Watching him hold off Townly was a sight to see. He will go far.

Jason Lawrence is also blessed with amazing speed but I want to see him get better starts. I like his energy--on and off the track. He was late for the press conference and while everyone was leaving he showed up and apologized for being late and proceeded to hold his own conference. I was trying to figure out who’s little KX pit bike he stole to get there on! He got a good sense of humor and is good at rolling with the punches. He is something the sport hasn’t seen in a while and I welcome it. I just hope he doesn’t become to “corporate”.

According to Mike Fisher, Kawi team manager, there are no broken bones or any obvious injuries. He is very beat up and sore. Said he could have suffered a bad whiplash.

Just another day at the races. :nod: :yikes:

I feel like that from riding this past weekend, and I didn't even crash!

Regarding Stewart, you think a SX only contract is in his future? Reason I say this is all he does is show up on Sunday morning, run practice and then race. There was some talk about he wrecked because he didn't know the track like he should of. He has been complaining about the long schedule.

I don't really know why he needs to race at all anymore. He's already the Fastest Rider Ever.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hes still 2nd in points isn't he?

And for most of the MX races this year he has been 1st or 2nd, with many seconds between him and 3rd place.


"He sucks" is very subjective. He is running 2nd place to the best MXer of all time. Thats like saying Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays suck, because they are only 2nd, 3rd, and 4th on the all time home run list. Sucking compared to the best in the world, is much different than sucking in general :)
