Richmond, AMA SuperCross

Nascar
Well the race at Richmond actually happened which is a good thing. I thought for sure based on the weather that was on the radar that there was no chance the race would be run, much less all 400 laps. Tells you what kind of weather man I am
...
Jeff G did well in the beginning but his car gave up on the long runs (this was last years problem
) and never really contended for the win. I was concerned about his late choice to not pit, and it actually might have cost him a top five, but we will never know. JG did finish 8th and due to Kurt Busch not finishing in front of him, JG regained the top in the points standings. YES ![]()
Jimmy J didn't have a good race at all, with a bad qualifying effort that had him in the back of the pack most of the race, and when your at a short track, being at the back can be a bad thing. Yes he got caught up in a wreck. To make matters worse he sped on pit lane and never recovered, finishing 30+ not good for the team that has won the LAST 3 out of 4 at Richmond.
AMA Supercross
James Stewart returns this year to dominate (wins) and eventually out paces Chad Reed for the Title. I didn't get to watch it as I was watching Nascar but did read about it this AM. Ryan V finished 1st, with Chad Reed (2nd) and James Steward in 3rd. Great season for all, just not in the cards for Chad. I love this racing and flying, as I try to get to the Supercross in Houston every year. Very fun to watch, etc.. My girlfriend actually likes the even too.
.. It's fun/exciting to watch for sure. If you have never been to an AMA Supercross event try to get out and go, amazing what these guys do on 2 wheels.!!
Until next time...
